"A Clockwork Orange" (1971)From Netflix: "In this Stanley Kubrick classic based on Anthony Burgess's novel, teenage miscreant Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell) wanders aimlessly amid a bleak, futuristic urban landscape, drinking drugged milk and listening to Beethoven with his fellow "droogs." But he also spends his time stealing, raping and beating innocent people in nihilistic orgies of violence, all in an attempt to get his nightly kicks."
The opening scene is BEAUTIFUL, visually at least.
Is the dubbing REALLY off, or is it just my internet connection?
Well isn't that lovely? A beating 4 minutes in, and a rape 6 minutes in.
ok, turns out it WAS my internet connection LOL
(in case you haven't caught on, I'm writing as I watch, if only to make this more tolerable. I have absolutely no motivation to watch this film, and have actually been actively avoiding it.)
Less than 15 minutes in and I'm generally repulsed with myself for allowing myself to continue to watch thus far...
wow it's ridiculous how poorly Netflix streams this movie. That paired with how little I want to watch is making it very difficult to force myself to continue watching...
and a CONSENSUAL threesome less than thirty minutes in. So far, smut for the sake of smut.
"Api-poli-logies"? British people have the weirdest slang...Why bother making a slang term for something if it's just going to be longer or otherwise more difficult to spit out than the regular word?
Alright, props to me. I got through 45 minutes of it with awful lag and crap, well, everything (even WITH the giant penis statue). I suppose it's not fair to judge the whole 130 minute film on the first 45 minutes, but if I had to, I would say 100% utter crap. Perhaps I'll give it a chance again at a later date and under different circumstances, but certainly for now, I've had enough.
