no

isn't that a printer company?

>This Stanley Kubrick film might be the work of a strict and exacting German professor who set out to make a porno-violent sci-fi comedy. The movie is adapted from Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel, which is set in a vaguely socialist future of the late 70s or early 80s-a dreary, routinized England that roving gangs of teenage thugs terrorize at night. In this dehumanizing society, there seems to be no way for the boys to release their energies except in vandalism and crime. The protagonist, Alex (Malcolm McDowell), is the leader of one of these gangs; he's a conscienceless schoolboy sadist who enjoys stealing, stomping, raping, and destroying, until he kills a woman and is sent to prison. There he is conditioned into a moral robot who becomes nauseated by thoughts of sex and violence. Burgess wrote an ironic fable about a future in which men lose their capacity for moral choice. Kubrick, however, gives us an Alex who is more alive than anybody else in the movie, and younger and more attractive, and McDowell plays him exuberantly, with power and slyness. So at the end, when Alex's bold, aggressive, punk's nature is restored to him, it seems not a joke on all of us but, rather, a victory in which we share, and Kubrick takes an exultant tone. Along the way, Alex has been set apart as the hero by making his victims less human than he; the picture plays with violence in an intellectually seductive way-Alex's victims are twisted and incapable of suffering. Kubrick carefully estranges us from these victims so that we can enjoy the rapes and beatings. Alex alone suffers. And how he suffers! He's a male Little Nell-screaming in a strait jacket during the brainwashing; sweet and helpless when rejected by his parents; alone, weeping, on a bridge; beaten, bleeding, lost in a rainstorm; pounding his head on a floor and crying for death. Kubrickpoursontheheartsandflowers; whatisdonetoAlexis far worse than what Alex has done, so society itself can be felt to justify Alex's hoodlumism.

MOM'S GONNA FREAK
WHAT A HORRORSHOW

PLEASE STOP PLEASE AM GONNA BE SICK

Yes.

I felt the movie was interesting up until he finished his treatment, at which point it just sort of fell apart and lacked direction

soundtrack was good.

You're an idiot.

you're a pretentious pseudo-elitist

Not the other guy, but the lacking direction 8s intentional. The lack if clear direction and development in his life shows how the treatment ruined his life, as opposed to fixing it

Kino comedy.
Nearly every scene is funny.

Honestly couldn't make it more than 30 mins into this. Britbong accents and edgy behavior was annoying/boring

kek

All meaningless buzzwords.

2001 and Barry Lyndon are the only kinos Kubrick ever made, but A Clockwork Orange is a competent movie.

Maybe not kino, but a great picture.

Yes
How is this even debatable?
