Synopsis

In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
nickboldrini This film looks great - the gang style, and the decor of the various sets is great. The story, based on the book, has the cop out american book version ending, but is still a good adaptation of that book. It captures well the banality of the gangs actions, and also questions societies response to their violence.
cinephile-27690 Critics don't always say the right thing. Roger Ebert gave it 2/4 stars and yet it has a 8.3 here and it got nominated for Best Picture. I saw this and felt uneasy for a lot of it. The movie focuses on a man who rapes women for pleasure. There are numerous nude scenes and therefore it earned an X rating upon original release. But the movie makes you think about morality and therefore has importance. My only real problem is that I could not hear it well and I needed to use subtitles-but maybe that's just me. Mature audiences should check this movie out.
Katie Jurek Interesting and trippy movie, as well as very detailed and psychological. This movie is known for being quite violent, disturbing, and sex-filled for its time, and even for current times as well. The ending is very sudden, just like this review's.
L.D. Gerrits Stanley Kubrick's ninth film, "A Clockwork Orange," is a brilliant and dangerous work, but it is dangerous in a way that brilliant things sometimes are, because it is a movie of such manifold, contradictory effects that it can easily be seen in many ways and may well be wrongly used by a number of people who see it.Although the film, like Anthony Burgess's novel from which it is adapted, is cast as futurist fiction, it is much more a satire on contemporary society than are most futurist works, all of which, if they are worth anything, are meaningful only in terms of the society that bred them. It may even be a mistake to describe the movie "A Clockwork Orange" as futurist in any respect, since its made-up teenage language, its décor, its civil idiocies, its social chaos, or their equivalents, are already at hand, although it's still possible for most of the people to ignore a lot of them.It seems to me that by describing horror with such elegance and beauty, Kubrick has created a very disorienting but human comedy, not warm and lovable, but a terrible sum- up of where the world is at. With all of man's potential for divinity through love, through his art and his music, this is what it has somehow boiled down to: a civil population terrorized by hoodlums, disconnected porno art, quick solutions to social problems, with the only "hope" for the future in the vicious Alex.In my opinion, Kubrick has made a movie that exploits only the mystery and variety of human conduct. And because it refuses to use the emotions conventionally, demanding instead that we keep a constant, intellectual grip on things, it's a most unusual and disorienting movie experience. 10 out of 10.
