So I watched "A Clockwork Orange" earlier tonight. Suffice it to say, it was a terrible date movie. Rape scenes, and a man trying to commit suicide to not make for good snuggling images. It did however, raise some interesting questions in my mind. What is the consequence of trying to alter the human nature? What can come of forcing a man to go against his role in life, taking away his free will? What comes of trying to reform evil into good, and good into evil, and above all, where do we draw the line with what is right?
Seriously though, if you can stomach rape, extreme violence, disturbing images, and some really fucked-up emotional moments, I extremely strongly recommend you watch this. There is a reason that it's so debated, and a reason why it's never forgotten, and you should find out why if you feel you can.
Date movie? Love, don't be goin' out of your way seeing people. And yes, if you're looking for date material, perhaps you could look up "Mirror Mask". Brilliant cinematographic direction, and the story was spun by the master Niel Gaiman himself. So, try it out for next time. Its no chic flick, but its one for the imagination, and the restless dreamer.
ReplyDeleteDate movie? Love, don't be goin' out of your way to see people. If you're looking for a good date movie however, might I suggest "Mirror Mask"? The cinematographic direction is fantastic, and the story was spun by the master himself: Niel Gaiman. By no means is it a chic flick, but it is one for the restless imagination and impossible dreamers.
ReplyDeleteOops, didn't realize my comment posted twice... hrm... It gave me an error message the first time. Oh well. Taa taa!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a good date movie. It's something that will actually be remembered instead of just some sappy romance movie. Also, like you said, I don't think I'll ever forget that movie... it was definitely worth watching.
