re: A Clockwork Orange

It is a movie of its time, but I think that it holds up extremely well. I see it differently now than I did as a teen. Back then we were amazed by the violence, which was shocking for the time. Lots of cheering and nervous laughter, like we were watching the Warriors or something. Now I can watch it and see how truly disturbing it is.

I don't dismiss any of Kubrick's movies. There are days when I'm not in the mood for them, but the first viewing of each has been a great event for me.
