A Clockwork Orange - Anyone Seen It?

In comparison to whats seen in violent films nowadays, its quite tame really, but when it first came out, it was shockingly graphic and was banned by the director in case it incited copycat violence. Deffo worth seeing though.
 
Very good film, very moving and I like the way that the focus progresses on one central character, although I wouldn't say desperately disturbing, but a worthwile watch :)
 
Fantastic movie, certainly in my top 5. The content could be described as 'disturbing', but I didn't find it disturbing to watch, if you catch my drift.

Well worth your time:)
 
"I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain..."

Very good film in my opinion.

Not really disturbing. Well, it depends how you look at it.
 
If you watch it brother, i just hope you are ready for lashings of the old.... ultraviolence.
 
Good book, good film, quite violent not tame really as its quite wanton. Also its pretty funny in places. Worth a watch.
 
I like it, Kubrick certainly knew what he was doing behind the camera.

If you want disturbing though, check out Lost Highway by David Lynch, a very strange film indeed.
 
I read the novel before I saw the film and it was one of the rare occasions where the latter betters the former. Hilarious in parts and very thought provoking, some would say it's disturbing but it's never gratuitous. A classic.
 
I've only seen the singing in the rain scene and all I can say is it's very shocking when you take a step back because there are some bit's which are in there for 'emotional relief' sorta speak.

For Truth. Heard me Ma and step dad talking about this when i was a Kiddy. Finally saw it years later. Absolute Rubbish.
Stupid Mumbo jumbo langauge hideously Bad effects. The Ultra Violence isn't even Ultra.
I think its Weak in Every apsect. Even the Music is Carp. Who the **** is Beethoven anyways. :p
Utter Carp.
 
The first time I watched it I thought it was good, odd, funny, and you kind of firstly hate the main character at the beginning, and towards the end you feel really sorry for him!
The soundtrack is abit tacky, but i think that adds to the eeriness!

Its on the same wavelength as the wickerman, with its oddness and sexual references!
 
I think it's excellent and certainly one of Kubrik's better films.

Malcolm McDowell plays the lead role superbly.
