September 20, 2009After a second viewing, I regret everything I said about it the first time. But, still, it's not my cup of tea.

September 11, 2009I wrote a paper on this in college. I don't remember what it was about. I also dont remember much about the movie. I know this is shameful, given that it's a classic and all. Whatever. I got an A, that was my main concern. I'll give it three stars for that.

September 4, 2009This film is a classic but maybe for all the wrong reasons. It's a contemporary warning in the style of Orwell but with out any of his credibility or reasoning. Still, you can't blame Kubrick for that, he adapted the story brilliantly and gave it its unique style that has never s...( read more)

August 3, 2009I 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 beyond me. Everything is great; acting, direction, cinematog...( read more)

August 3, 2009Future society film about juvenile delinquency is adapted from the 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess. Stanley Kubrick's meditation on the use of use of classical conditioning to prevent a violent free will purports to be an alleged satire, but it unwittingly revels in our main chara...( 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.
