A Clockwork Orange


             This week I watched A Clockwork Orange at the union.  This is one of my all time favorite films and one of Kubrick’s best.  I love that the film, even though odd in nature follows a very straight forward three act structure.  It is a wonderful narrative, showing that a man cannot be changed from what he truly is.  Alex is a classic character who charming and incredible fun to watch even though Alex as a man would not be seen as a good person.   Kubrick succeeds in this challenge of making a bad person a likable character and this has helped with the films cult following.  I look forward to every scene in the film, and I especially enjoy the music whether it be Ludwig Van or Singing in the Rain.  Genius.
