A Clockwork Orange

I really enjoy this film, and its always entertaining to watch. I really love the idea of one of the most beautiful becoming a symbol of violence, in this case music is used. The beginning with the slow motion fight after the rape all set to classical music, is very stunning to behold. The whole aesthetic of the film is very stunning. A world of degeneration, violence, bright colors, modern sculpture and architecture filled with sex. The world is a melting pot of languages and backgrounds.
One of the most memorable scenes to me is when he is signed into the prison. I know that it is supposed to be the future but I feel in this scene everything is very dull and urban. It's almost like the prison systems in the future have been downgraded or made to be more grey and dreary. This fits well with the film because before this point everything was colorful and bright. Then from this point everything becomes darker and grayer for the 2nd half of the film.
This is one of the films that everyone has seen or at least heard about. I found this on IMDB,
"Something that I don't think anyone else commented on was the Russian motif. The names of the droogs (Alexander, George, Peter, and Dim...short for Dimitri) are decidedly Russian. The singer referenced in the record store, Johnny Zhivago, has obvious Russian overtones. The statement made by the Minister of the Interior about the "peace-loving citizens" is a direct reference to the name that Soviet government representatives applied to their people when talking about the Cold War. Red seems to stand out from other colors. And, of course, who could forget Nadsat, the Russian slang language? I wonder what Burgess and Kubrick were trying to suggest about the future of Ingsoc (those familiar with "1984" will understand)?" This to me really plays into the aesthetic of the film. Without this made up language, the film would certainly be lacking something. Defiantly one of Kubrick's best films.
