Anyone else disturbed by A Clockwork Orange?

just saw it. that movie is wacked! Something about Beethoven mixed w/ wanton violence seems completely wrong to me. or seeing someone get raped to "singing in the rain" i dunno.....
 
watch it drunk, it really messes with your head.

good movie though, took a few times of seeing it though before i deemed it good
 
how old is it? (full metal jacket)? is kubrik still around, or has he been deceased. I haven't heard of any movies by him in the last long while... wait... how old is clockwork? 1970?
 
his most recent movie was Eyes Wide Shut and i think he died right before it was done or something.

He died 2 or 3 years ago. Right before "Eyes Wide Shut"(his final film) was released. "Dr. Strangelove" is my fav Kubrik film. "2001" is amazing (I even liked "Eyes Wide Shut," I really don't care for "Full Metal Jacket."

I just love the language.
 
disturbing, especially for the time it was released, pretty amazing he made it. it was banned in england for a long time from what i remember. he also made the shining, eyes wide shut(as americans we got the digitally edited version.. damn censors), and he thought of making ai for a long time.. passed it onto spielberg and was gonna produce it but died.
 
read the book, the book is 10 times better, but the movie is definetly good, i have the CWO poster on my wall :---)

I liked Clockwork(great behavior modification movie), I really liked Full Metal Jacket, and I thought Eyes wide shut sucked major a$$!
 
Kubrik is an excellent director. One of my favorite directors.

A Clockwork Orange was an excellent movie IMO. You have to think on it though. I think what was trying to be said was that if you take away a persons ability to make bad decisions, and be evil (like they did with the main character *forgot his name), then that person is no longer really human. Free will is an essential part of being a human being.
 
My mom had the soundtrack (LP), i remember asking her what the movie was about when i was like 8 or 9, after looking at the soundtrack pics. she wouldn't tell me.. now i know why. It was a great record though. I think i'll pull it out tomorrow.
 
Alex was the main character. I have liked all the Stanley Kubrick movies I have seen, but then again I havent seen Eyes Wide Shut. My favorite was also Dr. Strangelove.
