Title: Maybe brilliant in its day--but not today!
Review: While A Clockwork Orange may have been a brilliant portrayal of society's ills and problems when it was produced, I don't see it. On the contrary, it reminds me of modern day productions such as South Park and Beevis and Butthead. While they may be satirical in nature and very thought provoking as to society's problems, A Clockwork Orange simply seemed to be portraying sex, drugs, violence, mental illness, and corrupt governmental institutions just to be doing it without any reasoning. Again, when it was first released it may have had some social significane, but it just seemed to be stereotype after stereotype without significance.
