Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4517453, member: 974"] [B]A Clockwork Orange (1971)[/B] - hadn't watched it in decades. The story holds up very well. Malcolm McDowell is perfectly cast and delivers one of the best black humor performances of all time as the violent, murdering Alex. Kubrick delivers a visual feast in a dull future dystopia punctuated by violence (not extreme by today's standards) and classical music. The insane imagery of Alex during the Ludovico Technique remains one of the icons of film history. I still squirmed as his eyes are pulled open by metal clamps. Amazingly you find yourself smiling as this horific film ends. This is and will remain a five star experience and one of the greatest film of all time. Ultimately the film is about individual freedom versus the good of society. It remains relevant today. And I suspect it will still be relevant far into mankind's future. [/QUOTE]
