content: I have seen this movie at least 40 times, and it just gets better everytime. Kubrick does an excellent job of adapting Burgess's book to the big screen. Excellent directing and acting make this a must see. It is a bit harsh, but if viewed as a whole, the movie makes a strong point about how far we can go, when trying to rehabilitate the criminal mind. I also recommend reading the book after watching the movie, it has more detail and a different ending.
