clockwork orange

I seen this movie a long time ago but never put any emphasis on the movie, because I was young and only paid attention to the nude women in the film. But I recently bought it on dvd and seen it again and never knew how serious this movie was. When it came out it was banned from certain towns and countries. I can tell by watching the movie that it was an excellent author (anthony burgess) who wrote the book 1st then it was adapted into a movie(stanley kubrick).
