Default Just watched A Clockwork Orange
I must say, that was the most boring movie I've ever watched, how anybody likes it is beyond me.

Please reflect on your experience watching this movie.

Well it ain't Die Hard 4.0 but what if it wasn't all about action violence and there was actually a message to the film? And hell how many films have their soundtracks done by a transsexual synth wizard?

This movie was made in 1971, compare the plot of the movie to what was going on in the world at that time. The movie was a masterpiece, you just have to think about the movie a little bit and have an attention span of larger than 8 seconds.

It's a great and timeless film, it shows how youth culture would develop into gangs with their own lingo and an appetite for all things destructive and anti-social.

If you could take your mind away from the fact the movie was made in the 1970's, it actually holds up very well when compared to how youth culture as actually turned out.

Try and imagine how this film was perceived when first shown to an audience; they would have never seen anything like it in a million years.

Not only that, the transformation of the character and his steady downward spiral is pretty saddening to watch, even though he starts out as a morally corrupt ******.

You seem to have bad taste and no sense of perception and since you also seem to know **** about movies your opinion carries no weight at all.

Not only that, the movie was an anti-communist movie. The main characters spoke Russian every once in a while and the medical treatement of the main character was suppose to represent communism taking hold of the free spirit. There is a HUGE political message involved in the movie, and that's the main reason why I enjoyed it so much.

that's a moot point

are you implying that people arn't allowed to have opinions that differ from your own biased opinion?

If I were to paint my shed bright yellow, with green dots and a Nazi Swasktika it would be clear that I have bad taste. It's not an opinion, it's fact.

In the same way someone who can slate a classic movie like Clockwork Orange with less than a full paragraph of explanation, either has bad taste, or is just incredibly stupid.

Thanks for explaining my point.

Of course everyone is entitled to an opinion. I was just commenting on the relevance of the opinion which is the case of the original poster, is none.

You can chose to not agree with someone, that's fine. I guess I just don't understand how you can truely label someone based off of a simple opinion that said "I did not enjoy this" as having bad taste or being stupid.

If I listen to a band, and I think their lyrics are extremely deep and it left me in a state of open-mindedness, and someone come's along and says "meh, I don't care for them much, I find their music boring" does it mean they are stupid? No. It just means we took away something differnt from our own experiences.

not liking a movie because it *felt* boring to someone and comparing them to a nazi neon colored house owner are very differnt in my eyes.

It's been a long time since I've last seen it.
As far as I remember I liked it a lot. But then again I enjoyed THX 1138 (G.Lucas best movie?) and It's All About Love (even though scrpit is a bit messed up)....

I understood the movie just fine, but there was nothing at all to the plot. I like other Stanley Kubrick films, like Full Metal Jacket and The Shining, but this movie, as well as 2001 A Space Odyssey I was having a rough time getting interested in the movie. Maybe it's the piss poor actors, or just the boring plot.

Perhaps it was just their dialect that made the movie difficult to understand what the characters were talking about.

No time for the ol' in-out, love. I've just come to read the meter!

There was nothing I hated more than to see a filthy old drunkie, a-howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going blurp blurp in between as if it were a filthy old orchestra in his stinking rotten guts. I could never stand to see anyone like that, especially when they were old like this one was.

And when he looked up after being beaten by the old homeless guys and the cops were his old friends. Oh yeah, priceless. It is a great story.

That's why there is discussion and debate.

The entitlement to opinion is not automatic if one doesn't support their argument with valid reason.

Also, perception is subject to experience and intelligence.
