Undoubtedly one of the best movies of all time. Another one of Kubrick's works of modern cinema art. This is the type of movie that makes more and more sense given the number of times you watch it. Everything about this movie is almost indefectible. The plot, acting, direction and the cinematography. Just perfect.Yes, this movie is very well known for it's horrifying violence and sexual depictions but the deep meaning behind all that is plain cold and dull for one to just simply accept. Alex, the main protagonist. The one character even us the audience have a hard time choosing what to feel about. In a futuristic society where everything's ruled and corrupted by violence and sex, Even though being a criminal, Alex is in a sense just someone who's trying to get along and just survive. However all his actions led himself to a point where the state itself had to brainwash him. Which ultimately made him nothing but an emotionless body of flesh and blood. Even after 47 years this movie being released, this still very well depicts the situation of our current society. A shame indeed. Where it is also a corrupted and perverted system where the core values which drives us are nothing but, money, pleasure and power. That in any case we messed up, we will never be really "forgiven" for whatever it is that we've done. We'll just be a boulder rolling down a steep hill doing nothing but falling down. Our path, actions and motives. Everything will be then controlled by the "people upstairs". Just like the ending of the movie. Alex is alive and well but everything he's doing then are really just orders from the authorities. He is flesh and blood on the outside but merely mechanical on the inside. He is "a clockwork orange".

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.

This movie has changed my life. I looked at classic songs, Hitler, and violence from another window.

Both Stanley Kubrick and Malcolm McDowell at one point in their lives regretted making this film. Kubrick found out that this film was causing gangs to form in the UK and the US, and even tried to stop the film's distribution. Yet years before this movie West Side Story also inspired young folks to form clubs/gangs inspired by The Jets. Besides beyond the ultra violence of Alex and his droogs this movie indeed has special meaning as a story about experimental rehabilitation and its results.
