This franchise has never failed to be a success. It is a global sensation. The creators of the movie have earned back their original
budget and more in movie sales over the years. Over time the audience has spanned to younger people, even despite the age
restrictions and sensitive themes. The movie seems too have been more successful then the book, especially now that people
tend to read less. Overall, I think the book is a masterpiece that shall continue to be held as such. I also believe the movie was
pure cinematic art, the director (Stanley Kubrick) is known for being a perfectionist and it payed off in this movie. The main actor
(Malcolm Mcdowell) is best known for this movie and his pure talent in this movie. He took the character of Alex Delarge to a
level we had never seen before. This movie shall always be an incredible movie.
