A Clockwork Orange (1971)

I've loved Stanley Kubrick's work pretty much ever since I first saw 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) when I was... about 10 I think. Yeah, I had a pretty kick ass attention span for a kid when it came to sci-fi movies at least. I even remember enjoying Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) (accurately nicknamed Star Trek: The Slowmotion Picture). Of course it wasn't until much later that I saw some of Kubrick's other movies like The Shining (1980) and today's film A Clockwork Orange. The film has very strong themes of sexual and state violence so inevitably I will be discussing such concepts. If these topics are especially distressing to you it might be a good idea to skip this post.
