Confusing
I know this film is a classic and since it's a Kubrick film it can't be anything else. Somehow it wasn't as impressive as the other Kubrick films I've seen and he's definitely made a lot better ones. The violence is quite repulsive and it almost made me not finnish the film. The story, however is quite intriguing and it makes the excessively cruel violence justified. Once again, no simple answers here and Kubrick will make you think. Again his work with the camera is very skillful, but after watching a lot of Kubrick's you expect nothing less.
