What was your first reaction after watching a clockwork orange for the first time?

—BTW, the bodybuilder was Dave Prowse, the guy who played Darth Vader.—

I thought, “That’s fucked up. Bad people stay bad forever and there’s no fixing them.”

The guy who drank the denture water was Mr Deltoid, Alex’s counselor.

First notion: What???? That was it??? Totally overrated.

That movie has been hyped to me for years and I never got around to watch it. When I finally did, I could sort of see the criticism towards society in it, but to really get it you have to be on acid or magic shrooms I guess?!? LOL

But then, I’m singing in the rain…hahaha

the movie is suppose to be about the future…I heard it was based off some book. And the milk bar…I think the “milk” was something else to prepare them for the night, a type of drink to get them psyched or something.

And as far as attacking the woman with the giant penis goes…he was just goofing around. The guy who scolded alex was like…something like an attendance monitor for his school.

I do however like the last thing Alex says at the end of the movie.

It is supposed to be a study in classical conditioning and criminal rehabilitation; read the book.

“ew!”

Ha! Great question! I was 8 years old when I saw it for the first time so… uh, yeah, the “artistry” of it was a little over my head to say the least. I thought it was a porno of sorts. Later, it became one of my favorite books, movies, and I even studied it’s language.

@randommrdan: Uh… Based off of some book? It was based off of THE book, Clockwork Orange.

Yeah, it is a messed up movie, but not nearly as messed up as the book.

I first saw movie (directed by Stanley Kubrick) in when it was released in 1971; it takes place sometime in the future; Knot sums it up perfectly. And the book, by Anthony Burgess is also a classic. (I had no trouble in understanding either one.)

I think of Karl Marx….

I was high the first time I watched it. I laughed my ass off.

I saw it for the first time when it came out. And since I was just a kid back then, my first reaction was: “Cool! Nudity!”

ME: “Huh.”

Pretty sure the first time I saw it, I was like “what… The… F…” but I’ve seen it many times now and really think it is great.

The scene with the woman is trying to make a statement. That woman represents “civilized” society and how it simultaneously admires and sterilizes sexuality (notice all the sex related art in the home). Anyway, I find Kubrick movies completely fascinating. Each time you watch them, you get a slightly different take on them.

I love, love, love Kubrick, but I’ve never been able to bring myself to watch ACO.

I thought, “damn I’m high”.

I hated it. It’s still not my fave movie. I’ve seen it a few times and still feel the same. i never understood some parts.

I felt the same about Pulp Fiction, but after watching it again; it’s one of my fave movies.

“Why did they leave off the ending? It makes no sense without it!”

I had already read the book, by Anthony Burgess and I was just amazed with how Kubrick was able to film, what seemed un-filmable.

It made me really truly respect Beethoven’s music.
