Review of A Clockwork Orange (1971) by Franzhcritic — 04 Mar 2014
Off the bat, I can surmise this is Kubrick, with the camerawork and lighting effects. But what makes it so diametrically opposing to the sci-fi masterpiece '2001', is the social satire of violence and how it is "incurable", with nor possibility of reformation.
This is, in essence, an ultra-violent manifestation and visualization of the phrase, "you are what you are". Malcolm McDowell's eerie and whimsical performance is one of the best I've seen from such a young actor then.
Stanley Kubrick never stops to amaze. He truly is, one of the greatest.
