A Clockwork Orange

So I finished watching the movie A Clockwork Orange the other day. I have to appreciate the aestheticization of  violence in the film. The "ultraviolence" as the movie calls it is portrayed in such a fascinating way, it is stylistically excessive. I won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it but the way things come together is very captivating. The film itself delves into the realm of psychology, and opens up the boundaries of the human mind. It is interesting to note how conditioning affects the rational minds of humans as it does animals that lack sentience and self-awareness. I would say the movie is amazing, but my only gripe is the way in which it ended. Even though it wasn't necessarily a cliffhanger, I thought that it lacked substantial closure which I believe the movie was entitled.

Here are a few songs from the movie...

    I liked the ending, kind of abrupt, but I wouldn't want to have it any other way.

    The music is key in most films, shame that some don't take full advantage.

    Never seen the film. Most people I talked to that have say it's either too explicit or too messed up. I still plan to watch it and be the judge myself.

    I think the statute of limitations is up on "Spoilers" for a movie that is forty (40!) years old....
    But good looking out ;)

    I enjoyed this movie a lot. Funny, I was searching for something on TV, and then bam! a woman was about to be raped, so I didn't changed the channel.

    This is one of those movies that I've always wanted to watch, but for whatever reason, never really did.

    One day...
