Default Sooooo....

I just watched A Clockwork Orange, one of the few Kubrick movies I have yet to see, and needless to say...it was probably one of the best movies I have seen, ever.

I can't decide what is sadder, the fact that A Clockwork Orange has more value as a movie than anything released in the last few years, or the fact that the movie has more nuts than any movie released in the last few years.

Rape, with full nudity - check
Tarantino worthy dialogue - check
Old school movie feel that only Kubrick can convey - check

1971, rated X when it came out, pulled from theaters early, banned from many countries worldwide. Kubrick recieved death threats because of this movie, and had it not been for his establishing work "Dr. Strangelove," he might not have released any more movies.

The first half is a bit hard to stomach, even in my desensitized opinion, but the movie comes together flawlessly after the halfway mark. Nothing is unnecessary. There are no wasted scenes, characters, or graphic depictions.

I dunno...i just felt like saying I like this movie and I'm gonna watch it again. It's kinda long, and it's definitely riské...haha...borderline softcore porn, tarantino-witty dialogue, hollywood should be ashamed at the self-censoring that goes on these days.

But the story is amazing, I love the plot. And even though the main character is a huge bastard, by the end of the movie, you might have mixed feelings.
