peachmelba: Anyone a fan of stanly Kubrick,?One film I never watched was clockwork orange,.
I wonder how it is perceived today. "A Clockwork Orange" Published in 1962 was on the screen in 1971. It would be considered adult content. It is full of many basic ideals but the way it was all orchestrated I suppose us punkers thought it was quite entertaining even though we may not have truly wished to be those characters we had a modified adaptation of them in our very young days. I still have my paperback copy. Yes, it is an Orange cover indeed. Contains Spoilers and graphic content...but then this is Stanely Kubrick's movie.

Too many of his films are so pretentious that they forget to be entertaining. The kind of films some people love because they think they should with A Clockwork Orange being the best example. But I do like Spartacus and The Shining.

No no no the film with Hugh grant on boat was by roman Polanski .
peachmelba: Dragas that's some list you put up,A dictionary,Haha, ,
yeah, it is basically the dictionary used to understand what they were saying when you read the book..(or watch the movie) of course watching a movie is different in that you are watching the screen. I haven't even thought of this show till you mentioned it in a long time. I looked up a few things and it said that out of 10 most violent and disturbing movies they had it rated at #1. They said they were leaving out a lot of movies that were just plain made to gross you out or make you ill. I also did not know that this movie (A Clockwork Orange) had been removed from circulation at one point >Quote
"In May 1973, A Clockwork Orange was quietly removed from British circulation; so quietly, in fact, that the ban wasn’t discovered until 1979, when the film’s cinematographer, John Alcott, requested a copy. It remained impossible to obtain or show the film legally in the UK until 2000, a year after Kubrick’s death." Though it may not be the worst or graphic film it was that it had a way of validating or even glorifying these criminal immoral acts. Even as I mentioned above where young kids back in the punk days would sometimes act out this violence and parts from the show on the streets of Portland and probably many places around the world.

Hey, CS droogies, Clockwork was my introduction to Kubrick. Disturbing, but the love scene done to the William Tell Overture was unique. I think the movie would be considered violent by today's standards even though graphic violence is routine today.

I can't say much about clock work orange and the violence in it I know was extreme,
I did watch a very good film but left me with a bitter taste in my mouth and was thought provoking ,
That film starred Michael Caine ,,,he is an ex army man and recently widowed ,a pensioner living on a rough estate with teenagers nothing better to do than make life hell for the only friend Michael has ,
I can't think of the name of the film. When I started to watch it seemed harmless enough then drew me and so thought provoking in its very black humour.
there is too much good literature out there to spend time wasting time on kubrick - jmho
The way Kubrick plays with the camera is unique,,,the shadowing,,in between light and dark,
He was genius with the camera drawing and captivating an audience,
His profound images catalysts for the truth ,,,.
He was brilliant at writing about realism but yet he could do it against a backdrop of surrealism and fantasy that eludes the viewer from the reality of the truth in some of his books and screen plays,films he does this,
A genius in his art ,,of photography , directing,producing ,,like his films or not he was one of the best.

I had to Google Kubrick. Correction, Dr. Strangelove was my introduction. Images and use of music. Stunning.
