Gender: Male Location: Cute And Fluffy In My Tummy
If you are wondering why i saw it, A Friend of Mine tlaked about Brainwashing, and the main carachetr (Alex) Gets BRainwashed, so I decided to see it...
The scene where he [SPOILER - highlight to read]: fights the old perverted lady with the big penis sculpture has to be one of the funniest scenes in movie history!
The music was great of course, and the experiment and twist in the end was pure magic!
To be honest, I didn't think it was overly violent or sexual at all.
I guess at the time of release it must've been.
Seeing as it was banned in the UK.
WAS banned. Since poor old misguided BBFC head honcho Jimmy Ferman retired and now has since died, alot of his *bete noirs* are now freely available in the UK...
A CLOCKWORK ORANGE amongst them. I thought it an interesting time capsule film with some interesting things to say. I think it's banning was due to the rape scene. It's vital to the character development and could'nt be removed as not alone would it destroy the film's *raison d'etre* but Stanley Kubrick has said on many occasions that he dosen't like his works interfered with...
For once THE DIRECTOR had his final say!

Which one? IIRC there IS only one but it HAS been quite awhile since I've seen the film. FYI it's the home invasion scene as played over the effervescent ol' tune of SINGIN' IN THE RAIN...

This movie is utterly genius in it's ability to have you see the film through the eyes of a twisted and selfish maniac. Any film that can create this type of empathy (be it a good or evil viewpoint) really is amazing.
