film: a clockwork orange

[sOn]

clockwork orange

that is the most crazy movie i have ever seen

i recomend all to see it. ( i havent seen so many tities in a movie thats not a porno ever)

 

[brothermarcus]

i recommend everyone see ALL of stanley kubrick's movies... he got a lot of people to watch art and they never even realized it...

clockwork orange is cool as hell... definitely got more out of it through repeat viewings...

i'm always amused when someone tells me they felt ripped-off by eyes wide shut- i loved that movie, just the lighting itself makes me swoon.

I started a thread and a poll a few months ago on everyones favourite Stanley Kubrick film. A clockwork orange won by a long shot. I'll post the thread.

i always knew who stanly kubrick was but i never knew how crazy he was till i saw that movie. for the time it was made it must have blew everything away

 

[twominds]

This is the Stanley Kubrick poll.Favourite Stanley Kubrick movie. As you can see A clockwork orange was most common favourite.

Take a read of Anthony Burgess' novel from which Kubrick got his script. Well worth reading, if for nothing else than the joy of invented linguistics that Burgess uses throughout.

 

[sOn]

damn it is up there. i never knew he directed full metal jacket. the beginning of that movie is nice but then i think after that it just gets boring

As usual the book shits all over the movie, however the movie is fantastic. This just goes to show how good the book is

It's one of the few books i can read over and over.

The book is so awesome becuase he uses the language throughout the whole thing. When I read the book it made me feel bilingual almost, and took me a couple days to get used to the writing. But yea the book is so much more hardcore than the movie its not even funny.

But its a good movie, yes

Apparently there are 2 versions of the book, one with a bit of a translation in the back and one without... when I read this in high school I had the one without the glossary, which was great as you had to think and work out what they were talking about... after about 20 pages or so I could pretty much speak 'new-speak' (or whatever it was I can't remember haven't read the book in a few years ) fairly fluently... I remember thinking in the weird language for about a week after finishing the book... was pretty cool

Just re-watched it yesterday, awesome movie. The language used is brilliant.
Thought it was the most shocking thing I'd ever seen the first time I saw it at 14.

Butterfly, when you were referring to the two different versions of the book I thought you were going to mention the omitting of the last chapter by the United States press when it first came out in this country. Did you know the deal with that? I think it was the new york times or whatever that decided to leave out the last chapter to Burgess's novel, which COMPLETELY CHANGED ANY MORAL DIRECTION OF THE BOOK. Burgess was really pissed off and a newer version of the novel is now out in the country with the last chapter. I'm pretty sure all the copies have it now.

amazing book (and movie). I had the one with the 'dictionary' in the back, which explained what the 'made up' words meant...
For anyone who hasn't read the book, read it...much more thorough and numerous differences within the plot than was portrayed in the movie.

 

[Chaos Butterfly]

I didn't know about the 2 versions thingy happening in the states... sounds like a complete wank to me... what is the point of releasing the book not in its original version... stupid editors/moral police/whatever...

We got the original here in Australia

The text of the book is the same in both versions, one version just has an additional glossary, which, to be honest, isn't really necessary. Most of the meanings can be gleaned from context,
