A Clockwork Orange

[burnedout]

A Clockwork Orange = classic motion picture. The film was very much ahead of its time, and considered by many as a masterpiece.

Book > movie.

Movie > you.

my favorite kubrick film is 2001: A Space Odyssey. there are people who misunderstand this film but i think it's a masterpiece. read the book by arthur c. clarke and then watch the movie.

I think endro13 is trying to inspire a little bit of that ol' ultraviolent.

My mom has the soundtrack, on LP, bought when the movie first came to theatres... I remember when I was a kid asking her about it, and she said it was a good movie, probably assuming I'd never watch it... I saw it when I was 20, and laughed that my mom liked it... some things just seem ironic.

Man... I want my 2-3 hours back. That was the most annoying, retarded, pointless movie ever.

Even from a philosphocal view, the movie is extremely pointless.

Aight, I'm done.

Read the book first. Kubric's movie leaves out the last chapter of Burgess' book. You almost need to read the book first to get the movie. It's like seeing 2001 without having read the books. You're only going to be missing things.

Not according to the person who WROTE IT. I have read the commentaries that Anthony Burgess wrote about his book "A Clockwork Orange" and none of them mentioned parodying Facism. That's something that some reviewer tacked on post-hoc.

I saw it when I was in high school and loved it. Even today I could watch it and appreciate it. It was and still is a great movie. I like all of Kubricks films up to the last POS he did with Kidman and Cruz.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Full Metal Jacket
The Shining (the book was much much better than the movie though)
A Clockwork Orange

I never saw Dr Strangelove though.

Just read the forward in the book.

Go see Dr Strangelove. It's a parody of the cold war.

I've never really understood the hype surrounding Kubrick...

I've seen all the 'big' movies.. FMJ, Shining, CO, 2001. They were good movies, but I don't 'get' the following that Kubrick has... the only reason the Shining was a good movie was because of Nicholson. Outside of the 'sucky, sucky' scene everyone quotes, FMJ was just another war movie in a plethora of war movies. Clockwork Orange... I never really did decide if I like it or not.. I read the book in Elementary school as part of a project, and watched the movie when i was 13 or 14, and again last year (24), but really.. for me it's "meh... it was a movie", Neither good nor bad. 2001 I thought was a comedy at first... until i realized it was supposed to be serious...

But, as I'm sure people will flame me for not worshipping at "The Altar of Kubrick", I suppose I'll stop there..
