I am 75. After first encounter with your work - Madmen Perfect Scene - i clicked this because of my staggeringly brilliant brother. He is 71. Thanks to you there is a chance i now understand why this is his favorite fornative film. Delighted to have found you.
Funny, I ran into Malcolm McDowell in a park the other week. He's a kindly older man with a nice moustache. I didn't bother him, but felt excited to be so near 'Alex'.
An awesome analysis! I can confirm since I had the pleasure of interviewing Malcolm on the 50th anniversary of a Clockwork Orange. We talked a lot about the things you mentioned especially the design, violence and the aftermath. It was fascinating to learn about the context in which Kubrick made this film, especially since funding for his passion project Napoleon fell through during this time. It gave him a sense of nothing to lose, so he went for it. Search Malcolm McDowell Ojai podcast for the full conversation.
There is a depth in Kubrick thinking…it is easy to accept him just as the movie medium master but still he used the film as a tool to express his look on society and human culture.
I knew James Marcus ( the put upon Droog) He became a director and would have been interested in this excellent essay. I have never thought of it as substandard in any way.
I read it in 1999 when I was 20 before I ever viewed the Movie and was absolutely mesmerised by it. Then watched the film from an american VHS tape in 2000 and absolutely hated it. I was disappointed and did not see the genius of it. Now its in my top 10 favourite movies of all time. A Bona Fide Cult Classic.
Very thoughtful video essays, really enjoying them.. I read the book A Clockwork Orange way before I ever saw the movie. The book it should be mentioned is extremely violent and the violence is not lost among all the nadsat. Alex is 14 years old in the book. And the film is one of the most brilliant adaptations of a novel I've ever seen.. My favorite scene visually is the assault against the derelict at the beginning - exactly lifted from the book and every bit as I imagined it could be in the film, and better. My other favorite is when Alex meets up with his old droogs and they've become cops - best use of a shaky cam ever. And again taken almost exactly from the book but done better. No one can claim the book is better in specific scenes - the film meets the book and goes further as only film can. It is a savage book and a savage film.

I was just amazed that this doesn't have hundreds of thousands of views. Leaving a comment to boost it. Keep on going!

After watching space Odyssey movie i really shocked that how Kubrick imagined that AI computer can think itself and make own decisions
It's hard to ignore the fact this film was released just a few years before the punk rock scene appeared.
I love Barry Lyndon and would like a video with your take on that great film.
Honestly amazing content, I can only hope that this channel grows and I get to see more videos of yours
I loved the novel so much I read it several times as a teen. I've never made it through the movie.
It is a crime that this video only has 500 views. Fantastic channel all around. Subscribed. Keep em coming.
Very well built arguments and examination, 20/10 since I watched it twice back to back lol.
The Internet needs more of this.
One of my all-time favorite movies.

Great work on your examination. Thank you for your hard work.
this is and will forever be my favourite movie.
This is great. Would love to see further Kubrick examinations from you in the future :)
This is a really well made video, keep up the good work!!

If I remember correctly the last chapter in the book is not in the movie? I wonder why?
So glad I found this channel... I'm starting to think the algorithm works lol
My all-time favorite movie.
Wow. What a song choice for your outdoor. A little macabre
Nice content. You deserve more views.
Just found your channel and I fell in love. Such detailed and well written video essays, this was such a gem of a channel to find.
I wish you luck in what I think will be a very successful career on UA-cam
Great videos, thank you
Hey bots! I like this content!
UA-cam algorithm power, ACTIVATE!
Nobody thinks this is a bad film
I like 2001, but its a strangely academic film.
Clockwork is no less brilliant, but much more watchable and far more relevant to real life.
are you watching westworld?
Or you could make some shit instead of analyzing the work of others. Deconstruction is not an act of construction.
