Hey guys. I just got back from a screening of Clockwork Orange. It was really cool to actually see this movie in film format on the big screen. I saw it @ the Bloor Cinema. That place rocks. Cheap movies, and a cool looking little place.

Is it still showing, I would love to go see it. Thats one of my favourite movies ever. And not cause I'm sick, but because of the the actual meaning behind the story.

When it was written by Anthony Burgess way back when it was meant to show the progression of criminal punishment, and political incvolvment and point out that the current direction of disipcline was ineffective, and would eventuall lead to the downfall of civilized society, and eventually anarchy. The method of punishment used in the movie obviousely wasn't what was actually going on, but was to show what the author thought would come in the future if things weren't looked at and changed. The book, which was written in 1962 was set in 2000. If you pay attention to the whole story and don't let yourself only notice the rape, murder, and theft, you will find a very thoughful story with deep political, and institutional points of view.

Just my opinion.

Yeah I love the movie. Really fucked up, but those are the best kind. They make you think. Even the music was ******* amazing.

I was passing by the Bloor Cinema earlier in the week and saw that this was playing. I couldn't give up the chance. I've only ever seen it on VHS, so to see it in film on the big screen was so damn cool. It's not playing anymore this month. It might next month but they said probably not for quite a while again.

'What is it by the way??? '

(Too) Simply?

Duality of man.

Humanity (personified by his love of Beethoven's music and Goethe's words) vs. inhumanity (rape, pillage, gratuitous violence).

Interestingly, Burgess was diagonosed with inoperable cancer and was told by his doctor's that he had six months to live. In those six months, he wrote six books, and was then told the cancer was misdiagnosed! Happy ending.

He died a couple oy years ago. Was a very good composer, too. He wrote 'Earthly Powers', a fantastic book. One of the best of the last thirty years.

Read the book first. Kubrick is great, but Burgess is better!

Watch out for Droogs...
