After seeing the latest trailer forand reading about upcoming film and TV projects set in a dystopian future, I was inspired to pay tribute to one of the best dystopian films ever made:Directed by Stanley Kubrick, who is regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time is based on a novel of the same name by Anthony Burgess. No, I haven’t read the book, and no, this review will not be a comparison between the book and the film. That aside, I believe that despite its controversial content, it is one of the best movies of our time and is, quite probably, Kubrick’s greatest work.The plot is quite simple: Alex is the leader of a ragtag group of teenagers called the droogs. They go on a crime spree, mugging, beating, and raping people. In time, Alex is captured by the police and was subjected to untested experiments designed to treat his violent tendencies, after which he was allowed to get back to mainstream society.For me, what makesdifferent from other movies of this genre is that it made me sympathize with the main character; no matter how sociopathic or rotten he is, he is only a person driven to violence by the world he lives in. In addition, the camera work did a great job of showing Britain as a dystopian society, and the soundtrack is both whimsical and murderous, effectively reflecting what Alex was feeling at a particular moment.truly is a masterpiece, more so to those who love Kubrick’s style of storytelling.
