Pros: Acting, story, direction, music, editing
Cons: Unwatchable for many people
"Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultraviolence and Beethoven".
This is the quote that was used to advertise Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange in 1971. Because there has been so much...

Pros: Malcolm McDowell did a fine job, in his portrayal of this ultra-violence loving sociopath.
Cons: Kubrick seemed to love to smother u with an engorgement of nakedness
More often than not, I find myself lost when viewing "Old by decades" movies. Like this one, which surpasses me with about 30 yrs. I find myself conflicted by it.. and left wondering what the point was. Wondering if its the movie or the fact that I ...

Pros: Interesting concept, good acting and direction
Cons: Scenes of rape, a movie only for very mature audiences
Stanley Kubrick is one of my favorite directors. Its ironic too since I don't always like to see violence and sex used in movies just to promote them. Yet when Kubrick uses these, he knows how to treat them, and there seems to be a reason for them....

Pros: Kubrick's Direction/Script, Music, Look, Production, & Cast including McDowell.
Cons: None.
After achieving an artistic masterpiece with the 1968 sci-fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick was at a level that many other directors couldn't achieve. He had become the ultimate auteur with such diverse films like Lolita, ...

Pros: Top notch filmmaking, excellent performances
Cons: Violent and disturbing
Kubrick's post modern masterpiece hasn't lost anything with age, but I highly doubt it would cause the uproar it did if it were released now. The violence and rape is still graphic, but seriously, American Pie was more offensive and this, and American ...

Pros: Entertaining and Thought Provoking
Cons: Too Close to Reality; Violent
Futuristic in tone, even for today, A Clockwork Orange hides among the Science Fiction titles in our local video rental outlet. When the invitation to join sampo24, sgent, pantagrapher, paulbg and our host, the awe...

Pros: Thought provoking study of violence and society, GREAT soundtrack
Cons: Extreme violence, unlikeable characters
This movie, A Clockwork Orange, presents a weird dichotomy for me. This is probably my favorite movie, but, I never enjoy watching it. It is a grim, dark film which depicts a grim, dark and basically hopeless future. There is not one...

Pros: A genuinely funny film, cleverly disguised to distract the viewers' attention.
Cons: Of course, children won't get it -- but why should they have all the fun?
The idea that Stanley Kubrick filmed a comedy has probably seldom occurred to anyone in connection with “A Clockwork Orange” (1971). We have only to compare, say, “Dr. Strangelove” (1964) to realize that Kubrick’s comedies are ...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: May be too shocking for some.
My favorite word from A Clockwork Orange is "ultraviolence". My favorite quote is, "Come and get one in the yarbles, if you have any yarbles, you eunuch jelly thou!" My favorite character is Mr. Deltoid, and my favorite scene is where the one where ...
