So today I watched George Clooney's The American and Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
The American: First of all let me warn you that this movie is not an blockbuster-style action film, but more akin to an Italian melodrama. The cinematography was great, Clooney's acting was pretty good and so was his chemistry with Violante Placido (Clara). Sure, Spoiler:we never actually find out about what the protagonist's character story is nor who is the one emlpying him, but that's not really the point of the movie; this is character study, this is about Jack/Edward's integrity as a human being . Overall, I found it quite decent, thought you might enjoy it more if you are into this kind of movies.
A Clockwork Orange: This is easily one of the most bizarre films I've ever seen. The characters, Malcolm McDowell's example of superior acting, it's style, the subject matter... this combination of elements creates an odd-yet-great whole that will stay with you for a long time.
