I just didn't enjoy the story line, plus I am not into rapeing that much.

Hmmm, but are you saying you're into axe-murders and exploding heads? (You did enjoy Friday the 13th and Scanners, didn't you?)

Define thee not by what thee might observe.

Otherwise, I'm into necrophelia, cannibalism, animal slaughter, humiliation, serial killing...

A Clockwork Orange, though, is a most inhuman film. Anyone notice the similarities in style between this and Trainspotting?

No I did not.

But seriously, you shouldn't knock someone if they don't feel comfortable watching something like rape. Rape is a much more serious and realistic scenario than exploding heads, my friend, and although you aren't sensitive about it, others might be.

I would first of all, classify Clockwork Orange, as at least to some degree a horror film. Lit-fic often tries to dodge genre distinctions to avoid looking like trash, but I think a film using displays of violence didactically and presenting a dark alternate history could be called a horror film. The movie has a foot in the door of a lot of genres, but I would say that horror is one of the more solid of them. Burgess wrote the book and Kubrick made the movie for the same reason Mary Shelley told us not to play god with Frankenstein. A Clockwork Orange terrifies and provokes to remind us of another moral; that a person is a person and cannot be rendered inorganic and cannot be remade no matter how much we try. In the same way Victor Frankenstein's attempt to make a man fails, so too does Burgess' draconian regime's attempt. Frankenstein is a foundation of literary horror and is every bit as didactic and artistic and utilizes methods that looked just as scary and scandalous at the time to make it's point. I think it's also right that a Clockwork Orange is comical. Alex's sadistic glee and nonchalant approach toward killing, not to mention his hillariously earnest narration are quite funny, or even if not funny to the viewer, intended to be comedic. This movie commits acts of aggression against the viewer to teach, not because it's for people who like rape. Personal sensitivities are to be respected, but a film's intentions should be too.

Clockwork Orange is by far my favourite Kubrick film. I would rate it in my top ten movies.
I have difficulty with how to classify it's genre though. I would say it is a sci-fi/revenge/comedy/horror/political/thriller type of movie. I can remember trying to get a copy in the early eighties and paying £30 for a crappy 7th gen copy on tape. I didn't like it or get it very much at first but pretended to as it was a trendy film to be in to (youth eh!). I know every frame of the film now after many years watching it, and can see why it is highly regarded in some circles. I can appreciate it more now with dvd and absolutely adore the movie.
Dooby Doo, One in the Yarbolls, a bit of the old Molloco plus and bed time is right time now.

But to state that a viewer of A Clockwork Orange might be "into" raping just because a scene happens in the film is rather inflammitory to those who are able to distinguish between reality and fiction.

Ok, yes. I can agree with that. I was just making sure you weren't kncoking him for being uncomfortable with that. But seeing your perspective, fair enough.

I apologize.

clockwork orange

came out years before trainspotting
so if there are any similarities ..it would be
the latter.
I enjoyed the movie but not so much the storyline.
