June 9, 2009Without a doubt, my absolute favorite film of all time. I first saw this movie three years ago and I have been in love with it (and Stanley Kubrick) ever since. I never get tired of seeing this movie. Why it remains so underappreciated (at least by "casual" movie viewers) is beyo... ...( read more )

March 9, 2009Probably one of the most original films ever made and certainly one of the most controversial in it?s day and still today.
A Clockwork Orange has a very surreal outlook on life with the storyline being narrated by the main character played by Malcolm McDowell. He is the leade... ...( read more ) -
January 28, 2009I would say that the movie is really a gem of an art piece. The use of excellent imagery coupled with pretty out-of-the-place background score tells us about the uniqueness of this movie. Stanley Kubrick has really applied a lot of thought into this.
The director wants the aud... ...( read more ) -
June 29, 2009With out a shadow of a doubt, this is a masterpiece. It has been 38 years since its release and its legacy has not been dimmed at all, and still stands as one of the most shocking and memorable films of all time.
Set in a bleak but in a strong contrast, strangely vibrant... ...( read more )

June 6, 2009I love this movie so much! Alex DeLarge is the greatest villain ever! The history is amazing!
My Review in spanish :
A mí me pareció una excelente película. La actuación de Malcolm McDowell es muy realista.
La película La Naranja Mecanica es genial porque se creó un lenguaje exclusivamente para la película y por el tema del control mental, que le dió el título a la obra. La película es muy futurista.
Lo que tomaba Alex DeLarge no era un simple vaso de leche, el Moloko Plus era una leche con droga que lo preparaba para la ultra-violencia. Obra maestra. -
April 21, 2009problaly the only story I've know that the movie is better than book. Sorry for Burgess's book fans, but Kubrick "enlighten" (oh yeah)the hole scene, characters, plot.
Whata great movie

October 22, 2008If you didn't "get" this movie (note: if you thought it sucked, you didn't get it) read the book. Just do it. The significance of the political and moral themes is MUCH more prominant, especially when you include the last chapter, which wasn't included in the movie and isn't in some of the older versions of the book. Make sure it has 21 chapters (the 21st was edited out when it was released in the US).

February 21, 2008I'd honestly have to say this movie affected me more than Citizen Kane and Casablanca did. In my eyes, this is the best movie. Can Stanley Kubrick and Malcolm McDowell be any better of a pair? Anthony conceived a masterpiece of literature. Kubrick did the same but in film.
