One of the biggest film of one of the greatest directors. A film that shocked everyone on the day of its release, and had to be withdrawn from the salt, and that continues to upset yet with the power of its contents and its images. Either you love it or hate it, but certainly not go unnoticed.
The story of Alex, the head of a gang of droogs who loves violence and classical music Beethowen. Every night he goes with his band of merry thugs to spread a bit 'of disorder and chaos in the world around them, until things go wrong ... its affiliates revolt, and after one of the classic views on others ended tragically, stunning leaves in the hands of the police. Alex is thrown into prison until he submits to the Ludovico Treatment, a system to eradicate the instinct for violence from people's minds, causing the patient a sense of nausea and dizziness to the minimum pulse. But there is a world outside the prison, who wants to come to terms with what Alex used to be. Drawn from nearly
masterpiece novel by Anthony Burgess (guilty of having added an additional final chapter imposed by the publishing house, during which the protagonist decides to become good), Kubrick achieved what is perhaps his masterpiece with 2001 - A Space Odyssey , also signed the script, getting a movie just all effects - even counting the special effects, extraordinary at the time, Sandy and Mark DellaMarie Freund.
perfect mix of genres (drama, fiction despotic, satirical comedy, grotesque, horror) film and commingling. Everything interacts with each other, none of the wonderful music (not all strictly original) acting as a side dish, but it interacts with the sequence and narrative, creating a unique and indivisible in every respect.
disconcerting for the great amount of violence, choreographed and entertaining in the first part, raw and realistic in the second when the player grips the Ludovico Treatment.
is violent and even the ending, where everything is fulfilled, and all are decorated teased. From the church, the state, to the common person. It sends a disturbing question: better a world of violence voluntary or planned a life of peace?
