Kubrick was a mad man. Also for those of you in the US, iTunes/AppleTV has 7 of Kubrick’s films in a bundle for 15 bucks right now. You get Eyes Wide Shut, Full Metal Jacket, 2001, Barry Lyndon, Lolita, A Clockwork Orange, and The Shining. That’s like 2 bucks a movie and they’re all classics. The Shining, Clockwork, FMJ and 2001 are also in 4K with Dolby Vision. Great restorations on all of them. The finale of 2001 looks SO GOOD on an OLED in 4K Dolby Vision.

I’ll be giving this a bit of the old ultraviolent watch with a glass of milk

YES, this movie. Back on the Kubrick train. It's not for everybody but I hold it in high regard. Let's see what Ames thought of it. 🫣

To me this movie is an interesting take on society in an England that does not exist but could. The way everything is familiar but also unfamiliar and strange takes a deft hand and Kubrick really was the only one who could have done that. Just the way he actually gets you to feel SOME level of sympathy for Alex is insane. McDowell plays a big part in that but Kubrick sets the table. For instance, Alex had just assaulted that woman in the first break in with her husband looking on, yet in the next scene we feel sympathy for him with the creepy doctor on the bed. It’s weird, it’s shocking, and ultimately it’s so different from anything else that it perched atop a hill with no other movie in sight. I don’t love it, but I respect it. The same can be said for a lot of AFI 100 films.

I personally love this movie: because it again just goes to show how effectively Kubrick can create an atmosphere and fully immerse you in it right from the get go. The acting, music, signature cinematography, everything. I’m one happy little droogie today, now it’s time for some Ludwig Van 😈

Now that you've seen it, imagine being a 16-year-old kid and seeing it on the big screen when it debuted in 1972. Nothing prepared us for it. We walked out almost in shock. I still have trouble watching it today.

Did you notice his dad was Grady from The Shining? The huge weightlifter guy at the end was played by David Prowse who went on to be Darth Vader.

I LOVED A Clockwork Orange. Instant favorite. Super hit and miss with Kubrick and this is my favorite. It's probably the coolest looking movie I've ever seen. Malcolm McDowell one of my favorite performances ever. He's doing so much. Easy to be ridiculous. Thought it was perfect. For me it comes down to the scene after he is presented to the crowd post procedure...the priest (and far be it from me to take the side of the priest)...says "The boy has no real choice, has he? He ceases to be a wrong doer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice." Then the minister says "We aren't concerned with motives or the higher code. We are concerned with cutting down crime...the point is it works." That's dystopia hell to me. Trading choice for safety. No thank you.

One of my favorite Kubrick films. Poor Malcolm McDowell really gets tortured in this one. Great reaction and wrap up. Please don't strap me down like Alex and make me watch Hallmark's Christmas in July Marathon.

I will watch your reaction late tonight. I saw that you did the intro for the action category at The Poppies. You did great.

Todd Rush

This was really really really really a good reaction. One of my favorite movies of all time.

The movie is absolutely brilliant. But the book, in my opinion, might be even better.

Kubrick said he wanted to use surreal humour to ''underpin'' the obviously very bleak and depressing subject matter. By the end of the story this already dystopian London has gotten much worse; A State controlled totalitarian nightmare. Interestingly, the ending here is different to the one in the book. In the movie we see Alex's sexual fantasy in the closing shot, but the final act in the book is basically him back on the streets with a new gang, getting up to all of the crimes he committed in the first act, only ramped up more extreme. Kubrick later said he deeply regretted making the movie so violent; It was issued an X-rating and then banned in a bunch of countries for 20 years. Then to make matters worse, the media in England blamed a string of adolescent sex crimes on the film, claiming that the criminals were dressed like ''Droogs.'' Kubrick and his family were sent hate mail, including death threats. It was awful for them. He never made a more controversial and divisive film the remainder of his career. By the way, how AMAZING is Malcolm McDowell in this? It was only his second movie role, too. In the book, Anthony Burgess called this fictional street slang 'Nadsat', which he described as a cross between Russian slang, Cockney slang and Shakespearean English. Pretty crazy, but he tried to imagine how the youth might speak in a future Britain. As a result, the dialogue is very memorable.

Apparently the real UK in the 70s was rather dystopian, with garbage collector and other strikes throughout the decade. So not surprising Kubrick & Burgess envisioned the future London the way they did. Kubrick actually pulled Clockwork from British theaters due to the backlash, and it never showed there until after his death. (There was a thriving black market for videos of the film for decades.) I haven't read the book in a long time, but I believe that Kubrick actually softened the brutality of the book for the film (IIRC, the threesome scene involved drugging pre-teens, and the cat lady was much older). Malcolm McDowell is fantastic. He said that he modeled his performance partly on James Cagney, and you can see it in his face in many scenes.

Moral Ambiguity: Kubrick intended to make the audience uncomfortable, forcing them to feel sympathy for a monster, thus making them complicit in his, and the state's, crimes. One of the things that makes the film so dark and controversial is that Alex is probably the most likeable character in the movie. Pretty much everyone else comes across as hypocritical and manipulative where Alex, despite being an unrepentant monster, at least comes across as honest with himself. He does what he does because he enjoys it rather than hiding behind a facade of authority or moral righteousness like the others. So I'd say Kubrick does make Alex sympathetic, but for two main reasons: to highlight the hypocrisy of the authority figures in the movie (in order to criticize the attempt to forcibly reform Alex) and to implicate the viewer in a moral sense. Kubrick forces us to like Alex and then reckon with the fact that we're sympathizing with an absolute bastard.
