Clockwork Orange

[reanjr]

Eh...

That pretty much sums it up. It's worth seeing. Probably not more than once, though. It's not really funny, scary, sad, etc. The movie evokes no emotion whatsoever.

But there is a large piece of art in the shape of a penis!!

No question but that Dr. Strangelove is Kubrick's best movie, at least IMO. It is intensely funny and depressing, and stands up to repeated viewings better than any other comedy I know of.

The only person who can judge the movie for you is yourself. Watch it, either you'll like it or you won't. It's only a couple hourse of your life though and I'm sure you've spent two hours doing less before.

Lots of opinions. I am not sure what to expect from it. I am trying not to go in with any expectations at all. I love all kinds of movies, but shy away from horror flicks. I can easily be entertained by just about anything, but can really appreciate movies that mean somthing more, and make you think. Its been a long time since I watch a movie that was very serious, so i think that will be the biggest thing. As for Kubrick movies, i have never seen any that I know of. The only other on on my list too watch is Full Metal Jacket. I am actually renting that somtime in the next couple days.

I have been convinced this is no movie to watch with the kids home, so they are going to grandma's for the night. I dont need my 5 yr old waking up and hearing violent rape scene's on television. I am excited to watch it. I will let everyone know what I think after tonight. Thanks to everyone who voiced opinions.

Viddy well, my brothers, viddy well!

Doesn't stand up well to repeat viewings, nor has it aged particularly well, but still a film worth seeing. Nor is it Kubrick's best work (2001 or Full Metal Jacket win that title for me), but still a confronting, provocative film.

The book is a damned site better, but that's always the way.

I really enjoyed the movie but the book, by Anthony Burgess, was definitely superior.

Correct, this is not a kids film by any stretch of the imagination.

By all means, viddy it and viddy it well, my little droogie. Just be sure to drink down your synthemesc or drencrom at the moloko plus bar ahead of time if the thought of copious amounts of red, red krovvy and the occasional bit of the old in-out in-out drives you bezoomny. It's a zammechat, horrorshow movie, one every chelloveck should viddy -- no fillying. But if you end up feeling bolnoy in the guttiwuts, well then appy polly loggies, my little ptitsa. Best back to your pee and em with you, and forget I said a slovo.

Your Friend and Humble Narrator,

horrorshow is right

The book BTW is really good -- The movie I haven't seen

The play is actually a dumbed down form of the book and the movie is dumbed down from the play. So...
