What is bad about Clockwork Orange?

Parents need to know that this is an extremely violent film. Within the first 13 minutes there is a violent beating of a homeless man, an attempted rape, a gang fight, another beating, and a rape. Sex and violence are paired. Hope for a “cure” for violence is scuttled.

Is A Clockwork Orange boring?

It’s a boring 137 minute hard R full of rape and violence for the sake of rape and violence. At times it feels like it’s just trying to satirize the idea of rape and violence for rape and violence’s own sake, but if that’s what it’s supposed to be, it failed.

What is so good about A Clockwork Orange?

Even the disturbing scenes aren’t gratuitous and serve a purpose to the story. Every element—the costumes, dialogue, performances, cinematography, music, set design, and locations—is compelling. This is why fans and critics alike take the film so seriously.

Is the movie Clockwork Orange a good movie?

But they’ve really hyped “A Clockwork Orange” for more than it’s worth, and a lot of people will go if only out of curiosity. Too bad. In addition to the things I’ve mentioned above — things I really got mad about — “A Clockwork Orange” commits another, perhaps even more unforgivable, artistic sin. It is just plain talky and boring.

What happens at the end of A Clockwork Orange?

Kubrick used the final shots of “2001” to ease his space voyager into the Space Child who ends the movie. The child, you’ll remember, turns large and fearsomely wise eyes upon us, and is our savior. In somewhat the same way, Alex turns into a wide eyed child at the end of “A Clockwork Orange,” and smiles mischievously as he has a fantasy of rape.

Who was Alex in the Clockwork Orange movie?

Alex is the sort of fearsomely strange person we’ve all run across a few times in our lives — usually when he and we were children, and he was less inclined to conceal his hobbies. He must have been the kind of kid who tore off the wings of flies and ate ants just because that was so disgusting.
