Stanley Kubrick's Masterpiece
14 February 2015
Warning: Spoilers
The movie starts with "The funeral of Queen Mary" in a beautiful synthesized version that present us for the first time our protagonist and humble narrator, Alex deLarge. Alex character seems almost real, and Malcolm McDowell acts natural and he acts very well. And he doesn't look like a two dimension character, but a real human. The hobbies of the 15-year-old teen are ultraviolence, rape and classical music. With his group he does the most horrible and atrocious acts without even a reason. All of this with beautiful classical music. The words Alex uses, and the way he talks, is delicious to the ears. In one particular scene, he starts to listen to the ninth symphony, by Beethoven. And, in his own words, the symphony was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. The shots are synchronized with the music, and they show some of the dark thoughts of Alex Then i understood what alex felt. The perfection and ecstasy running all over my body. The soundtrack is excellent, and it's very well elected. Every track and every symphony suits perfectly every scene, and every action. My favorite scene is when Alex puts his droogs (friends) on their place. The first time i saw that scene, i was surprised, and trying to stay calm. But it was difficult. The words, the Rossini music that looks like it was made exactly for that scene, And he violence of Alex made me have a sensation that i can't put in words. The protagonist is wicked, and he is very bad. But very charismatic at the same time. The strange thing is that at the second half of the movie i felt bad for him, because he doesn't have free will. It's very strange that a movie has the same quality as the book, but this movie is far better than the novel. Stanley Kubrick is a genius, and that is undeniable.
