This movie is about a protagonist who is a murdering rapist, yet for some reason you are sorta kinda rooting for him. What the fuck? A Clockwork Orange literally makes me uncomfortable in the opening 30min or so. The terrible things Alex does are excruciating to watch through, especially when he belts out "Singing in the Rain". Then after that, you are just following his punishment and for some reason hoping for his release from jail.
Outside of the story, the camera work is great as always. Also, I love the musical choices. Both standard Beethoven and electronic Beethoven are always wonderful. But on top of that you get some nice horse racing music to enhance an, un, entertaining scene. The future 70s design is pretty great as well. Gotta get me one of those coffee tables they have in the opening shot.
It really bothers me that I am sorta kinda on Alex's side, and that is why I think this is an amazing film. The fact that Kubrick makes you feel wrong is astounding. Him and Malcolm McDowell just really know how to work together. The fact that Alex is so charming and funny is a big part of what does this. When you know he's still a terrible person at the end, you still end up laughing at his manipulative interaction with the politician feeding him. Why the hell am I laughing that a robbing, murdering, rapist eating food pompously?
If you hate this movie, you're probably a better, moraler person than me.

Review by Caner Aydın
A sad end
Genny was so powerful. Inside those buildings. It was like a castle. With lots of soldiers. Young and unexperienced ones.
Ciro deserved to die again he survived, with his luck and intelligence.
It was so rackless that genny's people were ambushed. Could not even fire.
So, don pietro was faking to seem as sick. To transport and to escape. Cost of that was to lose wife, son and all loyal friends, except one i think.
Not all of those adult gangster would join conte. Why did genny try to kill all? I dont know.
Maybe genny did not die.
They were all walking around with guns for days but no cops came.
And how did genny earn money? The business was still going on probably.
Lets see what don will do. He has still soldiers. So, he can take revenge i hope.
This will be the last episode for that series for a long time because i watch series season by season. So, i have to move to another series.
I gave 6 / 10 for this finale.
After 3 years again rewatching to get on series again on 26.5.24 :
I agree what i wrote before. The youngs were so amateurs . Genny even did not know their soldiers were killed and went there. Ciro should have shot again to kill genny but he did not.

The most overrated movie I have ever seen. A movie shouldn't live up to visuals only.

@drogsux-deleted-1575766164 I agree with it.
I just watched this for the first time. I cried like a small child through the whole "I could have got more" scene.
This movie is heartbreakingly perfect.loading replies
@echelon_four yes same, I cried hard here.
One of the least engaging movies I've ever seen. Really boring and not brilliant at all. The characters are stereotyped and stupid. Dude is trivial and insubstantial.
