I LOVED A Clockwork Orange and I usually do not like literal violence in movies

I thought it was just torturous to sit through. If I had masochistic tendencies, I would have been having multiple orgasms.

Thus, Kubrick's point in that movie. It was almost as if it was his version of saturation therapy

Ah, yes, the deaf piano player. Let's hope he is set for life now.

It was a revolting experience, right up there with 8MM. I read the book in high school and loved it, but I thought the movie was reprehensible.

Here's Kael's review of it, which I find to be spot-on and utterly fabulous:
