33 - A Clockwork Orange

Are we really products of society? This was probably the foremost question on my mind while I watched this film. The time cannot be placed for this story. It falls somewhere between the past and the future, and absolutely not the present...very clever atmosphere that Stanley Kubrick created.

He turns everything around, and in full circle in some cases...the effect of Beethoven's ninth, the twisted mind of the criminal and then becoming a victim, and the victim suddenly turning to evil, an inmate somewhat cured and then turned back.

When it seemed like it didn't make sense, it actually did...and when appears to make sense, it really doesn't as much...its really amazing how stimulating Kubrick has made this experience.
