Sick but not far away from the truth in todays soceity

Andy Warhol made another version of the book called "Vinyl". I haven't watched either because, frankly, I'm allergic to oranges.

When Clockwork Orange first came out it was a violent film, sick and twisted and a look at the future. I remeber thinking it was a great film but I worried about so much violence. Hadn't seen the film for over 20 years and watched it last year. It seemed so tame and ordinary. That is scary. I think it is still a great film, but just so ordinary. We have become inured to violence and sick and twisted stuff. So my thoughts on A Clockwork Orange are - nowadays just so ordinary.

That movie messed up my "rassoodock". I thought the film was VERY well done... Violent and sexual, but to me, it made MUCH more sense than 2001: A Space Odyssey. (It WAS a very long time ago that I saw it!) I was also interested in many of the actors in it.

I liked it very much. Is it considered a "cult film"? As an American, watching English films with the difference in language, seem to make it even more creapy. Malcome McDowel did a great acting job...my opinion...

Stanley Kubrik's best film - bar none.

Probably one of the strangest movies I have ever seen. Right up there with Altered States, though vastly different.

I read the book long before I saw the movie. The book really caught my attention. I went to the library and got out many of Antony Burgess's novels. Now, I vaguely remember reading a book at the time called "The Piano Player" which might have been his, but Clockwork Orange has stayed in my memory. The book is HARD to read. It's partly in transliterated russian. At the time I knew NO russian and it took most of the book before I realised what one word meant - it meant "balls" and there it was amongst the words in the cover design! I remember the book shocked me and scared me... there is a different emphasis in the book. There is more violence in the book and there is anger. The rape is practically casual in the book, as if the protagonists can't even recognise the woman as anything other than a n object. The book was set in the future, and projected a future world in which casual acts of violence by young men in gangs is the norm, before they grow out of it with age. The chilling thing is that Antony Burgess's vision of the future seems ever closer to reality.
