I decided to make this weekend a Stanley Kubrick film festival and watched this with my teenage son because I knew he could understand what the movie was trying to say about violence in society and political control. Again the HD quality watching it this time was amazing, but the violence is hard to stomach.

My husband and his friends have been quoting this and talking about it for as long as I’ve known them. When I found out about the American Film Institute’s 100 greatest list I decided that I wanted to see every one of them. One of the items on the list was this one. My husband advised me not to see it, it was too messed up and I had already revealed to him that the biggest fear in most women is being raped. I told him I would anyway, just because it was on the list. I started watching it bracing myself for what I knew was to come, and with the mindset that I was likely going to hate it because of the content. I had no idea that I would actually like it. I wouldn’t call it amazing, or awesome, but there was something about the overall eerie quality of the film that I actually enjoyed. In spite of the fact that the ultra-violence and the raped made me feel as sick as Alex did after his treatment, I thought the movie was phenomenal, and a cinematic genius. I’d definitely recommend it to a friend but I would strongly advise not to watch it alone, especially if you are female.

I wish I would have never wasted my time watching this.

what i imagined while reading the book was much better.

Ultraviolence and killing is wrong, wrong, and terribly wrong.

It is so weird and crazy. It made me think of the things, maybe not the greatest of things, but at least it made me think. This movie is brilliant

cult classic. this movie is amazing. i probably watch it twice a week. lol. can you say obsessed? …not really just a really big fan
