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

That movie is really icky, I didn't like it either. I don't think I watched the whole thing. Blergh. My repuls-O-meter was reading dangerously high right away.

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

It wouldn't surprise me. His scene with the prostitute is...forced.
