A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)
This is more than just a futuristic gang film.
Stanley Kubrick is making a social satire about human behavior. The film's bigger idea is how important choice is to what it means to be human. If you take away human choice (even if it means the choice to be bad and do horrible things), do you take away what it means to be human? When the movie first came out now 36years ago, it was extremely controversial because of the sex and violence and sarcasm displayed throughout. Many people LOVE this movie. Many people HATE it.
What scenes and sequences stand out? How did director Stanley Kubrick use the camera and photography to what purpose? What about the use of color? What about how music plays off the images you see in the film? You can explore how Kubrick uses images of sex and violence in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE to tell this story. Consider how the tone of the film, Alex's narration and how the story resolves itself.
