Senselessness of crime is exhibited most convincingly in this great movie. ..It shows how a psychopath can be a bigger menace and danger than an ordinary criminal.. violence and crime may stem from many reasons, but when it is rises out of boredom and utter disregard of social values. It can be alarming.. YOU FEEL THE TERROR MORE THAN YOU VIEW IT
During the last few decades we are becoming increasingly aware of a close and ever-strengthening nexus between crime and politics and how they are becoming complimentary to each other.. This movie made so many years back has shown this aspect in a true, yet funny , manner. This is a great movie by Stanley Kubrick, who had earlier made another great movie "2001.A Space Odyssey". The movie is as relevant today as it was when it was made.. It was futuristic then.. It is futuristic even now, because the theme is timeless.. It is unfortunate that the move did not receive an Oscar or BAFTA award
