From a directing standpoint, it's a masterpiece. Between the wealth of bright alluring colors, the avant-garde sets, the memorable electronic score. It's comedic, tragic, satirical and irreverent.
Initially, I was offended by it and shut it off, but a couple days later, I gave it a second chance and ended up loving it. There are lots of graphic scenes of nudity, violence and rape, which rightfully elicit disgust. It's also the brash and raw nature of this film that makes it appealing. Either way, good or bad, if a film can impact someone, it has done it job. It's better to be hated than forgotten, and this is an unforgettable movie.
This sci-fi film is about topics such as morality, free will, proper criminal justice ethics and political corruption. Is the government's treatment of curing a sociopath by performing mental experiments on him immoral. While Kubrick effectively conveyed how horrific of a sociopath Alex was, I don't think he came even close to convincing the viewer that the cure was worse (or as gruesome) than the disease.
