A Clockwork Orange

1. A Clockwork Orange might be one of the craziest/ weirdest movies I've ever seen.  It starts with a gang that commits many crimes and finally the leader gets caught murdering someone.  He goes to jail and gets put into this special program that is suppose to help him and make him better.  When he returns home nobody wants him anymore, and it turns into a story of pure tragedy and sadness.

2.  I found an article on city-journal.org that talks about the violence in the movie.  While it was considered to be a masterpiece, it was also considered to be contagious to people, making them more violent.  The article says how Britain tried to ban this movie for it's violence, and I could see why.  The amount of rape and murder in this movie is unreal.

3.  In class we talked more about a change in Hollywood and how this is a huge change.  We never had seen something so gruesome and violent in films.  This movie was a game changer to Hollywood, giving future directors more freedom to do what they want with their movie ideas.

4.  I thought this movie was well done, but it was tough to watch.  There were so many weird things and violent things that happened in the movie some was too much.  Even though they didnt show all of it they showed enough.  Plus I never really enjoyed movies such as A Clockwork Orange.  But I can respect what it has done for film.
