I absolutely cannot stand Stanley Kubrick's movies. It's his pacing that kills me. My attention span can't hold on during his ridiculously long, drawn-out scenes that are intended to set the tone or convey some kind of emotional state (like the scene in The Shining where the kid is endlessly riding his Big Wheels around the hotel, or the annoying as hell Star Child evolution scene or Hal death scene in 2001: A Space Odysee). It just doesn't work for me. I'm the type of person who just wants to get to the freaking point. I like things to be concise. Quick. Efficient in communication.
I think I'd enjoy his movies better if I could still understand the dialogue while playing them triple-speed fast forward. ![]() |

Phenomenal movie. I remember kids in junior high talking about it, and it sounded like it was just a violent, pointless movie. I rented it (this was probably back in '82 or '83) and even as a young 'un I thought it was a brilliant film. Malcom McDowell always had a knack for playing those types of people. He was like the Christopher Walken of the 70's LOL...

Ah, A Clockwork Orange. Nothing is quite as entertaining to me as watching the film lovin' so-phisticates defend this movie like it were their own child.
You'd think it would be difficult to see the screen with your nose turned up so high. But don't get me wrong; I want to be so-phisticated as well. I want to belong. I just don't know if I can ever bring myself to say that I enjoyed the movie. So you see the pickle I'm in, here. |

I can't stand the movie, it's far to artsy for my liking, but then I suppose that opinion just makes me stupid. Personally I didn't really like a clockwork orange either. |

It doesn't make you stupid.. just means you have an opinion. I love how most people here think that individual taste is a black and white issue. There are no facts when it comes to personal taste people so STFU and get over it. There can be general consensus one way or the other but just because a person doesn't like a movie that a lot of people think is good doesn't mean that person is uncultured, stupid, or any other negative. To some it may be a great film, to others merely good; but never bad. |
