Evil Needs Evil Deeds




I love watching movies and was jus going through the usual stuff the action,romance,comedies some even on drugs, some with messages in them , some that are really slickly made let us say there are films that come and go like the Americn Pie series i think the 7th one is on the floor ;) then there are ones on wars and what not but it was when i saw A Clockwork Orange that i realized that some movies are made just to show the evil darker part in all of us Normally good triumphs over evil and we all move on to the next flick

Rarely have i seen a flick where the dark side so shamelessly overpowers the good side.The director Stanley Kubrick (who is fast becoming one of my favourite directors cause of all the genres he has successfully covered) has skillfully covered the journey of a delinquent young man Alex in futuristuc Britain in the picture above who commits all kinds of perverted crimes with his gang .. he is jailed send for rehabilitation and then comes out reformed (or not) …

The music has been used effectively in this movie and the the theme song really sets the mood of the movie .. its dark and futuristic

Scenes from the movie are classy like one where Alex is in jail and the preacher is preaching abt the part when Jesus carries the cross before the crucification and the Romans are whipping him and he begs the Lord to forgive humanity for what they are doing … and all the other inmates arent paying attention to the preacher but Alex is closing his eyes and smiling … The preacher thinks that alex is say “coming in the presence of the lord” … but actually Alex is dreaming of himself being the Roman who’s actually whipping Jesus !!!

The sheer notority of the film makes it worth a watch though the british accent gets to you a bit … Some people mite not like it because as i said in this movie evil rules !!! But if you are a movie buff and dont want to miss a movie in a genre that has not been made before go for this one …
