About this product

Product Information

From its opening shot of Malcolm McDowell staring with evil intent directly into the camera (which pulls back to reveal him drinking a glass of milk), Stanley Kubrick's brilliant A CLOCKWORK ORANGE announces itself as a completely new kind of viewing experience. The film, set in an unidentified future, overwhelms the senses with its almost comic depictions of rape and violence set to an upbeat classical and pop music score. Kubrick based his chilling masterpiece on Anthony Burgess's culture-shaking novel about a young man growing into adulthood, but unable to shake his huge problem with authority figures. The first part of the film shows Alex (a career-defining performance by McDowell) and his "droogs" (his cohorts) indulging in what they refer to as "a little bit of the old ultraviolence." After establishing Alex and co. as unremitting psychopaths, Kubrick's movie changes tact, and shows Alex getting caught and forced to undergo controversial treatment that will make it impossible for him to commit violent acts, leading to a fascinating ending to the film. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE purposely confuses crime and punishment, cause and effect, hero and villain, irony and satire, and many other concepts, creating a truly unique work of art in the process. Its magnificent, colorful, futuristic set designs and utter determination to shock, frighten, and thoroughly entertain left audiences reeling in the '70s. Kubrick even withdrew the film from distribution in the UK, after reading newspaper reports of people dressing up as Alex and his Droogs and meting out their own brand of ultraviolence (it was subsequently rereleased after his death). One thing is for sure: No one who has seen it has ever been able to hear "Singin' in the Rain" or Beethoven again in quite the same way.

    Classically Iconic

    This film takes a perfect look at overt correctness. Not to mention, it deals with how far people would go to get it. Granted, Alex wasn't a peach (He's not really supposed to be viewed as sympathetic. The in-universe equivalent of that trope gets played in the scene when he begs for someone to give him mercy in spite of all the crimes he's committed and how he volunteered for the treatment in order to be let out early. Not to mention, the book this movie is based on is written from his POV.). However, the Ludivico treatment ends up doing more harm to him than good. Especially when it comes to self-defense. Then, there is the fish-eye lens it takes. It has several strawmen and even one in the form of the minister of the prison, who views the treatment as counterproductive and gets glared ...

  • A Kubrick Classic

    Stanley Kubrick did the movie The Shining in the early 80's, and at the time, I did not like the movie. The reason I didn't like the movie was because I had read the book, and many things were different, examples of this being the ending and the maze instead of the animal shaped shrubbery. With the release of Stephen King's The Shining, I actually liked that version compared to Stanley Kubrick's version. As time as passed though, I have rewatched the Stanley Kubrick version and have taken more of an appreciation to what he did with that film, especially with what he did with the camera work. I don't like it better than the Stephen King version (actually I like it about the same), I just think it's different. Same thing happened for me with A Clockwork Orange. When I initially saw the ...

  • Vidi well, brother. Vidi well...*

    I bought A Clockwork Orange (1991, VHS) because it is rarely rentable, intact, because of its availability on eBay and because it is one of the best statements about modern 'Civilized’ behavior ever made. It speaks on a par with Orwell's '1984' about the blurry line between the good guys and the bad guys, the saints and sinners; or as the lady at the 'health farm’ puts it, the "little bastards" and the "real people." The film pulls no punches. It relentlessly pursues the viewer around their own most deeply held paradigms and punches them into submission; and all to some of the most beautiful music ever written by anyone. There is no safe place to hide and no "higher ground" from which to make judgments. You stick your tongue out and lick the crust from the sole of your tormentor’s boot, or ...

  • Just as expected

    Tape and case are both in great shape. I have always loved this movie. As a collector of VHS movies, this was a very welcome addition. Very happy to have it on my shelf. Movie plays great, no distortion. Just like new. Thanks again!

  • a clockwork orange

    this is a classic. truely shows the baser side of the human animal. can one even state that the "cure" was really any better? extremes and extremists and humans can't get much stranger, unless there is alot of 'truth' and/or 'real life experiences' used. a posterboard for moderation and moderationists. shows what we can expect in the future. give anyone power and they all go mad.
