MCT:May 11, 2008This movie requires your attention to get the most out of it, but if you're paying attention you'll get a great story.

Recently watched it again! Very good indeed. Interesting topic specially at the time of the release.

MCT:May 9, 2008I admire the ambition and scope, but I just think that the introduction is too long considering it is used only for contrast. In general, I feel like the entire movie moves too slowly, even given that it by nature must move slowly. It isn't that I don't understand, it's just that I think Kubrick took it too far.

Well, I havent seen the movie but now reading the book. 250 pages are over; the movie's story is over yet there are 750 more pages to go. (Book contains all Odysseies)

Ok... None can deny that Kubrik had great vision when he made this movie. It is exelent how he manages the futuristic details. It shows the story of humanity through ages. I agree that its a movie that everyone that cares about cinema must see.
But once you see it pleese don´t fall in the typical apreciation: "Its Great" "Its shows the evoluion of humanity".. Cmon!, it is simple to film a bunch of apes and then transfer to a futuristic stage!. I think Kubrik not only wanted to show the evolution of civilization,
Maybe he wanted to comunicate a profound message... take a look at the final scenes, in the lonely white room, and finally.. the baby...
Something was on the mind of the director.. What was it?, I haven´t heard one intelligent traduction of Kubrik vague messague.. Why?, becouse there isn´t ! For me, Kubrik (as in the clockwood orange) uses a lot of freaky, very artistic, maybe boring and shoking scenes to decorate a light film.
PD: If u don´t think the same...Replyposted 166 days ago -
One of my all time faves. This movie never looks dated, a bit retro but the content is so relevant today. Those who don't like this movie don't understand this movie.

Yep. I dunno what prob acidwolf has with it. But whatever prob he has with it, it's probably not real hehehe

While that is true, this film should have five stars in any movie list, including Flixter. It's not on AFI's Top 100 Movies of All Time for nothing.

Just because you don't care for a particular movie does not mean that you are an unintelligent "kiddie".

What program, acidwolf!? I suppose having a lot of gangsta rap in it would have made it a better movie for you...? Shutup!
