Some people said today that the works of some well-known directors are not very good. When I was nervous, he really said Kubrick's name. He said that except "Full Metal Jacket", all other Kubrick films were It's a lousy movie, the hell knows Kubrick is my favorite director, no one. And the person who spoke was one of the people I could talk to the most. He was sad.
Then he brought up the example of "A Clockwork Orange" and said that this film was a pornographic and violent pornographic film. He asked me to tell me what was so good about this film. My stomach is full of words, which shows that I must not be a good teacher.

When he came back and thought about it carefully, the best thing about him should be that it was just right. It is just right, what a rare compliment. "Any increase is too long, a reduction is too short; pink is too white, and Zhu is too red." There is nothing more beautiful than just right, the wisdom experience of predecessors.
When it comes to how "A Clockwork Orange" is just right, the most intuitive thing is to give an example as an argument. "Killing" is a good example. To a certain extent, both films express such an idea , how people who do not conform to the norms of the system are persecuted by the system.
A movie that can express thoughts, convey emotions or have enough sensory stimulation (such as beautiful pictures, scary sound effects, shocking visual effects, etc.), as long as it achieves one of them, I think it is successful, even if it is a suspense movie, He can only make your hair stand on end in the last shot, exclaiming that this is the case, and the purpose of this film has been achieved. From this point of view, "Killing" is already a very good movie, but from the same crazy performance style, "Killing" is close to madness, the story is too messy, and the rhythm is a little out of control, so it leads to some Some places are unsatisfactory, and some places are still unsatisfactory.
But all the emotions in "A Clockwork Orange" are controlled within a reasonable tolerance, and the graphics, editing, and music are all handled just right.
Or this type of film just isn't your favorite type, and you can't accept the emotions that the film wants to express, so have the expressionist-style image tones in the film also caught your eye?

In fact, there is no need to convince others to like things that they can't accept. It's just that most people want to be recognized, especially the people or things they love. When others say something bad, they will always have a subconscious first reaction. Just try to refute or try your best to convince the other party. That's what I'm doing now. . .

In addition, for those who cannot understand the intention of the film, there is no need to suspect that others are over-interpreting it, because for an excellent and especially talented film director, it will never be over-interpreting, but may only be under-interpreting. After all, some ideas are like a flash of inspiration, which is easy for them - this is talent - but it is naturally difficult for the viewer to try to figure out other people's ideas.
