I definently see the plot its very very very thin.....Ud have to know the book as well as Kubricks film well to catch on to it....to bad its all filmed in this corner with all the characters on screen just waiting for their scene to come up.
@smurfman95 It's more conceptual..you can't really compare it to Kubrick's film. Andy always said (according to those who were there) that he didn't want his films to look professional--he wanted it to be obvious that it was a movie, that it was fake. I suppose you could compare it to Brecht or bring in something like Peter Shaffer's Equus, where the actors wait on benches to get up and say their lines. It pretty much depends on whether you like abstractions like that or not.
@fuzzballzz36 Didn't compare it to Kubrick obviously his is going to have a much larger budget as well as an actual keen eye for Film Making, I never put this film down you really got defensive over nothing all I did say about it was you'd have to know the story of A Clockwork Orange extremely well to even realize that's what this is lol, Lack of all english culture lack of costume,scenery and nadsat, it wouldn't be easy to draw the comparison to someone unfamiliar with it.
@smurfman95 That's true. It's definitely bare-bones. I think he tried to get the rights to do Burgess' book and was denied, so he did a kind of ripoff...lol.

Virtue out of mediocrity? :P
