Among the Directors I admire, Stanley Kubrick will always hold the top spot. Why do I like him? Because he makes films from his unique perspective, focusing on conveying the story he strongly believes in, regardless of whether the audience understands it or not. His Films have fundamentally changed my perspective on cinema, making me start to see films in a new light. Just as ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ is analyzed by the world’s intellectuals based on the ‘’Mona Lisa and ‘Michelangelo’ through the Moses statue, the world’s film scholars analyze the art of cinema through Kubrick’s films.
Stanley Kubrick forced film historians to ponder ten times more profoundly than when film noir enthralled the dark realm of cinema. His films combine aspects of art deco scenography, American hard-boiled fiction, Italian neorealism, and French poetic realism.
Coming to “A Clockwork Orange,” this dystopian crime film was released in 1971 and is based on ‘Anthony Burgess’s 1962 novel of the same name. Although the story is set in the metropolis of London, the Director’s cinematic magic transports us to another world. The dialogues are in Anglo-Russian, immersing the screenplay deeply. The way crime scenes are composed is not only innovative but also revolutionary. The manner in which crime and erotica are mixed in the narrative is extraordinary. This film gives new meaning to cynical realism and restrained moral sensitivity. The way the three dimensions of Alex’s character are developed, and how fear, innocence, and cruelty are expressed, is unparalleled and timeless.
