I want to apologize on the outset for not being diligent with posting lately. When I set out to do this I promised myself I wouldn’t allow the project to get in the way of my school work, and with finals and term papers coming closer I was getting burnt out on writing and just needed to take a break. But I’m back, and with a backlog of films (both on and off The List) to review that will hopefully carry us until the New Year! After the jump I’ll discuss more of my plans for the blog and also maybe eventually talk about Clockwork Orange?Anyway, hopefully with my backlog of films to review I’ll have enough content stored up so that I can take a break during my (criminally short) winter break. I’m putting my Netflix on hold during the break and I’ll be working on a “best of the decade” list for film. We’ll see how those things go.
And now, without further adieu, Clockwork Orange.
Like many of these films, there isn’t much for me to say about them that hasn’t already been discussed ad nauseum. The film easily lends itself to comparisons to other Kubrick films, and it certainly doesn’t feel or look like much else that you’ve seen before.
I find that the story works a lot better in film form than in the book. I’m sure you are willing to agree/disagree with me. If so, feel free to leave a comment in the comment section. I just didn’t find the book too interesting and difficult to read at times, but enjoyed the movie.
