I read the novel before I saw the movie and I'm grateful for that. The book was so much better, but this movie is definitely a work of art. If you haven't heard of this movie, kiddies, it is the best movie of all time in my eyes. This probably isn't a popular choice for favorite movie for kids my age. The way that Alex, the main character, reflects on Beethoven's music is brilliant. You see, this young man is a fan of music, and is also an outlaw. Throughout the first half of the movie, he is killing and beating at his own will. He is then thrown into prison, and chooses experimental therapy. This therapy is based off of showing him violent movies to get him sick of violence. This works, especially after they use Beethoven's 9th Symphony in the score in one of the films. This makes him become very disturbed, as he bases his day around Beethoven. This movie was said to be very disturbing, which is true, except it doesn't live up to how they worded it to be. Unless you are sensitive to movies, of course. This definitely should be #1 on your Netflix queue if you haven't seen it already. Watch it. A+
