About book Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange (2000)

it's funny, i've read a lot of Kubrick's screenplays, and they can be really unusual. for example, rarely do they follow screenplay format rules, are often almost poetically sparse in construction, etc.kubrick favored 'creating it' on the set largely, which was one reason he shot so much. it wasn't always that actors 'blew their lines' though he often cited this as the rationale, but rather, he wanted to explore the different manners in which he could shoot a scene and then later decide.a final note: kubrick had this idea about 'submersible' scenes. his theory: if you come up with 8 scenes that the audience likes that are not 'submersible' (i.e. don't sink like a stone) and then string them together? it almost doesn't matter what you have inbetween them, as the audience will watch to see what's next on the '8 list,' so to speak.thanks again, tosh. another to add to my 'read' list. though i wonder: when will you start offering speed reading courses for the rest of us? your ability to read so many complex texts and react to them is truly phenomenal, sir. ;)

This graphic representation of the film is a great way to review or pin-point a frame of the movie, plus clarify the sometimes hard-to-decipher Nadsat--the futuristic teenage slang--used by "Your Humble and Suffering Narrator." I read it multiply times, and pick it up and flip through it occasionally. Being an impressionable age, 18, when the film was released and seeing it for the first time at the Naval Amphibious Base theater (Coronado, CA) a year or two later, it remains as one of my top ten movies of all time. I always wanted to read the novel but the first page, liberally sprinkled with slang, along with the Nadsat Glossary in the back always discouraged me, until I was offered a collector's edition of it from the Folio Society in London, UK. I purchased it and finished the novella yesterday; it is truly one of those books, for me, that you don't want to come to an end. The movie and the Stanley Kubrick book here do great justice to the original. I highly recommend all materials concerning this work.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: The screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s disturbing and exhilarating masterpiece, featuring 800 film stills chosen by the director. This unique illustrated screenplay features 800 still images from “A Clockwork Orange,” selected by Stanley Kubrick when the film was first released in 1971. As Kubrick comments in his introduction: “I have always wondered if there might be a more meaningful way to present a book about a film. To make, as it were, a complete graphic representation of the film, cut by cut, with the dialogue printed in the proper place in relation to the cuts, so that within the limits of still photos and words, an accurate (and I hope interesting) record of a film might be available… This book represents that attempt.” Screenplay by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel by Anthony Burgess.

I as did Jim I think,preferred the movie movies I like better than books " Rita Hayworth and the Shaw shank Redemption" "Stephen King" 'Marathon Man" drawing blank Forest Gump there are so few they stand out postman always rings twice I could go through each read book and tell you what I think "Sin City" even though it is not as colorful is much more beautiful"Noir" definition Literal "Black" Japanese drawing simplicityone color of black ink is the ideal simplicity vs. BOLD in my opinion if that means anything. I Have been trying to upload some of my art There is a slideshow on this darn thing computer "Main Link" art by fucked up individuals to me is special just how we see I love my art teacher "Ann Beauchman" likes my stuff she sees something am I barking up a wrong tree??ered "Shubimi" Trevanian d say ?????

Back in the olden days before videotapes and DVDs, the idea of being able to refer to a film in detail meant that you pretty much had to wait until it was revived somewhere or showed up on television. This book, a shot by shot recreation of Kubrick's film (but in black and white unfortunately) was one of the most ambitious and handsomely produced attempt at transferring a movie into a portable object ever published. Yes, you can go out and buy a copy of "A Clockwork Orange", freeze it, run it backwards or watch it whenever you want..but I still admire the patience and craft that went into this volume...
