Actually, it is as fable-like and abstract as The Pilgrim's Progress, with characters deliberately played as goonish sitcom creations. The anarchic rampage of Alex (Malcolm McDowell), a bowler-hatted juvenile delinquent of the future, is all over at the end of the first act. Apprehended by equally brutal authorities, he changes from defiant thug to cringing bootlicker, volunteering for a behaviourist experiment that removes his capacity to do evil.It's all stylised: from Burgess' invented pidgin Russian (snarled unforgettably by McDowell) to 2001-style slow tracks through sculpturally perfect sets (as with many Kubrick movies, the story could be told through decor alone) and exaggerated, grotesque performances on a par with those of Dr Strangelove (especially from Patrick Magee and Aubrey Morris). Made in 1971, based on a novel from 1962, A Clockwork Orange resonates across the years. Its future is now quaint, with Magee pecking out "subversive literature" on a giant IBM typewriter and "lovely, lovely Ludwig Van" on mini-cassette tapes. However, the world of "Municipal Flat Block 18A, Linear North" is very much with us: a housing estate where classical murals are obscenely vandalised, passers-by are rare and yobs loll about with nothing better to do than hurt people. On the DVD: The extras are skimpy, with just an impressionist trailer in the style of the film used to brainwash Alex and a list of awards for which Clockwork Orange was nominated and awarded. The box promises soundtracks in English, French and Italian and subtitles in ten languages, but the disc just has two English soundtracks (mono and Dolby Sur Review: Short review - First things first: this movie has an awesome soundtrack. Now, I know that the movie is not technically complete because it's missing the last chapter of the book but, having that unbeknownst, I think it is important to look at the movie for what it is, as one whole. The movie is well recorded and the blu ray disc quality is acceptable by HD standards. The film starts immediately as soon as the disc is read and bypasses the main menu. You can access the main menu for extras, subtitle options, and/or commentaries via your blu ray player's controller. I did not like this feature that much but, considering the movie is terrific, I've overlooked that. I won't spoil the movie but I will say this: This film is not for children, and it contains nudity and violence. I think the movie does not celebrate ultra-violence nor the old in-out in-out but rather one's ability to choose for oneself. Thank you for reading this and have a great day. Review: "Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man." - In Stanley Kubrick's chilling adaptation of the Anthony Burgess novel A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, an ultra-violent sociopathic hooligan named Alex, who murders a woman in her home, has his 15 year prison sentence set aside when he submits to the Ludovico Technique. This method of aversion brainwashing renders him incapable of committing violence, touching women or enjoying his beloved "lovely, lovely Ludwig van." An unforeseen result of behavior modification is that Alex becomes a pawn of those trying to overthrow the Interior Minister and his government. One of the finest soundtracks ever includes several pieces by Wendy Carlos. Kubrick's absolute best! I saw this futuristic frighter at an afternoon matinee during its first week of release. It's a vivid 40-year-old memory due to the unique conditions of that showing, which was at a first generation multiplex called the Showcase Cinemas. The projectionist who ran it must've really loved "Clockwork Orange," for the sound was turned up louder than on any movie I had seen before or have been to since. The deafening roar in that top-of-the-line auditorium stays with me 40 years later, as does the sympathetic nausea I experienced with Alex while the disconcerting Wendy Carlos piece, "Timesteps" blared and in a special movie just for his clamped open eyes the "red, red krovy ran real harasho." End results: 1.) I left the theater with my head a-spin and hearing slightly damaged. 2.) Saw this film a dozen times more that year but was disappointed when the audio was never as loud. 3.) The A CLOCKWORK ORANGE Motion Picture Soundtrack is an all-time personal favorite. (That Ludovico stuff really works!) Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.
