The future trilogy is playing!

As the last film of the future trilogy, it has a history of nearly 50 years, and its shooting techniques and plot themes are still instructive today.

The two long shots of Kubrick staring at the beginning and the end, the central composition is very oppressive, and let me immediately enter the plot. In the beginning of the fight scene, the shaking of the camera lens creates a fierce and tense atmosphere; the soundtrack in the film is also very interesting, classical The music and action scenes should be the benchmark in the classics. The combination of Bei Jiu and the Nazis is so charming. When Alex was playing as a writer, Kubrick used the original happy and harmonious Rain Song to accompany it (it seems that Alex himself is the actor himself. I feel like watching people commit crimes in beautiful music, this contrast gives people a sense of moral unease.

When it comes to the plot, there are a lot of sexual metaphors and Easter eggs from Beethoven, as well as Kubrick's private eggs (2001 A Space Odyssey poster). The choice of freedom and politics in the film has been deepened with the passage of time, and I have nothing to say. Of course, since it is an adaptation, there are some things that don't match the original work. According to the beginning of the original work, there are only three people in Alex's Gang of Four who have a story. The subject matter is immediately elevated. Overall it's a good movie and worth watching.

(The short review is actually overly wordy... I'm so sorry Kubrick for such a film review.)

    What is evil, cruel behavior, or inner darkness? Punishment can only teach people false smiles and hypocritical behavior. People will learn to flatter, please, and greet, and these can only make us more firmly believe in the evil we already know. To correct the external evil by deepening the internal evil, does this eliminate evil or encourage it? I don't know what hell is, but it must be a harmonious and hypocritical place.
