A grim look into the present

Back when this was made the movie was banned in the UK as being too violent and influential on the youth of the time. It speaks volumes that now in today's society the ban has been lifted and it is now considered acceptable.

The movie is set in the future around a gang of youths who roam the streets kicking the poo out of anyone different, breaking into houses with masks on and raping the women who live there. Soon enough society steps in when one of the youths is sent down for murder.

Kubrick is and will always be the bestdirector in the world. It really shows here too. The vivid colours show how fantastic the world is to live in, which contrast directly with the main characters grey, white and black wardrobe showing his disillusionment with his life. The language is the work of genius. You quickly come to terms with the words being used and while you might understand the intention behind them, you would never feel confident enough to use them. Similar to how an adult uses the language of the younger generation and is damned by that generation for doing so.

The climax of the movie is stunningly real and leaves you both cold and nodding in agreement.

Absolutely worth watching.
