Clock Work Orange

Let's be honest all films that were classed as shocking back in the day are massively underwhelming when watched nowadays.

Most of them but I think the exorcist still holds its own...watched that for the first time when I was 13...shit me up big time

Theirs a few deleted scenes loitering on the internet, 1 that sticks out is Reagan in the upside down crab position coming backwards down the stairs, then just saying hello, very weird.

Theirs also a new documentary not long out on the priest the film is meant to be based upon, a real life exorcist.

I thought that scene was in the original? It freaked me out rotten the first time I saw it and that was with plenty of anticipation. I can't imagine what it would have been like for a young kid watching it back in the early 70's.

Very skilfully put together film.......less is more

Weird and shit .......

Council estate juveniles committing violent crime, houses being invaded with the occupants at home and ransacked, abuse of women........sounds more like a documentary of Britain 2017

Much preferred the book over the film, I think the film loses the point but then Kubrick did the same thing with the Shining... Also I heard the film is based on the American version of the novel that

It did show quite a lot tbh, it has a demonic atmosphere about it and if I'm being honest I wouldn't switch it on if I saw it on TV. ?

A lot of people to do with making the film died soon after apparently.....

Ive made about 3 attempts to watch it and i still have no idea what its about and cant get to the end....complete nonsense that puts me in mind of a stand up comedian who expects a laugh every time he says the word " f**k "......shocking for shockings sake just dont work after you,ve done it once.

I think Kubrick was trying to subtley expose it. I cant seem to finish Eyes Wide Shut, but I do think his art is imitating life very strongly. I wished id of made a nuisance of myself as he lived not far from me, still intrigued.

I watched it and I think it was a poor attempt at trying to make shocking violence arty farty. It has been awhile since I saw it but I vaguely remember the gang leader being recruited by some government agent in the end. I found that a bit weird...

I'm looking forward to the new Alien film, I can't make out if it's a reboot of the original or following on from Prometheus which is the best of the bunch imo.

Ive never watched an alien film

I watched Prometheus again a few weeks ago but can't remember the last time I watched one of the Alien films.

I got my lad into the Alien films last year. I started watching Alien and said 'Give It 10 Minutes...' He huffed a bit and 10 mins later he's hooked. I bought the box set, and Prometheus, and now I have to take him on opening night when it's released here in Utah... :laugh:

 

Alien:Covenant is the sequel to Prometheus. It's the second of three prequels, penned in, to the original Alien. :thumbs:
