Review of A Clockwork Orange (1971) by Jack O — 20 Sep 2017
''Ho, ho, ho! Well, if it isn't fat, stinking billy goat Billy-boy in poison. How are thou... thou globby bottle of cheap, stinking chip-oil? Come and get one in the yarbles if you have any yarbles you eunuch jelly, thou.''.
What do you mean what I'm talking about? I'm talking about the greatest controversial film of all time, A Clockwork Orange. I overall love this film especially when other people says how much a masterpiece this film actually is. I know my mum didn't like it because of how controversial the film actually is and you know what, it's not that bad. I mean, It's like that I don't care what people who haven't seen it says telling people who love the movie to stay away from it. Well, I gotta say: F£$k the haters, Love the lovers. I mean it's freaking Stanley Kubrick, what more do you need? Even though much like I reviewed Full Metal Jacket in the past years, me and my friends absolutely adored it and this one is funny, violent and fantastically acted and directed. Unfortunately, what I haven't said, It's not for everyone. Malcolm McDowell is the bad guy who loves xxx and violence who is the leader of the droogies of Ultra-Violence and he got to jail, he decides to be good and be cured. Also he loves listening to classical music called Ludwig Van Beethoven but not anymore cause the people who work next to prison putting the classical music in the viddied scene about violence making him feel really sick. While the scene where Alex and his droogies assaulted the man and the women while singing ''Singing in the Rain'' is controversial for people but for me, it's just hilarious. I mean when he was singing ''Singing in the Rain.'' He also singing it while in the bath. I even sung this song in front of the teachers and my mates without letting them know that this is from this, not from the original Singin' in the Rain. Don't give anything away when I said that. Singing ''Singing in the Rain'' will never be the same again. There is also a scene that really made me chuckle where Alex shouting ''Turn it off!'' when he was listening to Ludwig Van. This is Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece that ever created. I love the designs, the artwork and the masterful film making especially the acting and directed. I don't care if it's clunky, I don't care if it has problems cause there aren't any. The stuff that works well works unbelievably well and it sticks with you. It is was one everybody's favorite films of all time along side Full Metal Jacket. If any of you people who haven't seen it, I just gotta say: Don't go hating on it because it's controversial and don't judge it for how bad it is because it's not. I'm looking at you, Mum. All you have to do is let them enjoy it and let them and me love it for Stanley Kubrick. So STFU and respect my opinion! (No Offense.).
