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 ******. |

that's a moot point 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. |

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. 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. 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. |
