B.J. McFunk Cos it's boring as fuck... and i'd disagree it's his most beautifully photographed too.

I have to say, I never got the message of Clockwork Orange. I assume it is supposed to show how bad and wicked it is to cripple someone emotionally, as a way to treat them instead of imprisonment. But if that was the case it would seem like they made a counterproductive choice by making the victim of this treatment be the most vile and disgusting, psycopathic and unretrievably evil piece of shit ever to be put in a movie. It is kind of difficult to feel sympathy for someone losing their emotions when you think he should have lost his life. The movie itself is a beautiful marvel, though, and the characters and settings are amazingly well realized, and choice of music and cinematography amazing as you always get from Kubrick.

Pretty sure that's Shelley Duvall doing cocaine offscreen at 10:30, when Kubrick says, "It doesn't help you when you're...", then it pans to her saying, "Yes, it does." He says, "No, it doesn't." She says, "It does." All while she's grinning, wiping out her nostrils with a tissue...
