Great introduction by Mark, his intros always added to films on C4 and film 4 used to add a lot years agao. Remember him hosting a season of cult films in the run up to New Year 2002 called "No Sleep till New Year" first time I saw Freeway which has now become a favourite of mine.
In modern times, Tom Six has received death threats for his first "Human Centipede" movie. ) And remember, Pier Paolo Pasolini himself was killed, and some people speculated his death/killing came over his most notorious last movie "Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom" (1975), though unconfirmed.
In addition to this I kinda wonder, was Pier Paolo Pasolini REALLY killed BECAUSE of him making his notorious last film "Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom" (1975) or was there another motive behind his murder? You mean - someone was THAT offended at his movie enough to ACTUALLY kill him??
This introduction by Mark was also my first introduction to the genius that was Stanley Kubrick. To say his work has had a profound impact on my life is an understatement.
I remember watching this when it first went out , think it was a sunday night but i might be wrong and i knew i was naughty for watching it . Made it all the more fun
from the early to late 80's i had the first hour of the movie on a copy vhs. i think it was mid 90's when i finally got to see the whole movie, that was a great day, just cant remember how i got it..maybe early internet or imported?
Following the ban, The UK tv premiere was on 4th July, 2001 on Sky Box Office. This intro was for the UK terrestrial tv premiere which was filmfour on 13th October, 2002.
"Dreadful fashion sense of a bunch of wanna-be rockers like David Bowie" - sorry but Bowie, RIP, has always been a mega talented and multi-influential musical legend, I wonder why he said it like that as if talking about some pop idol, and not many people I know complained about his fashion sense either.
Barry Lyndon was ground breaking on a technical side. The Shining is a fascinating film, with some incredible scenes...willed into greatness. Spartacus, 'Can I get my check and will you fund my next film, please' - Kubrick, Path's of Glory is standard lambs to the slaughter stuff, with a beautiful girl singing emotionally wile being taunted to incite sentimentality. I mean, 'Goodfellas' has a scene with people getting misty over someone singing, it wasn't the greatest part of the film.
One of the life altering moments in my life wa my first viewing of A Clockwork Orange on HBO over twenty five years ago. I couldn't grasp the true "meaning" of the film and enjoyed the more visceral aspects but now appreciate the many layers beneath the gloss. Kubrick's genius was to bury subversive ideas under these very bright and deceptive images, which hooked the eye and planted those seeds. I still have yet to fully understand the film which is what distinguishes the great from mediocre.
Interesting. It would seem the banning of the film gave it a notoriety that prob contributed a great deal to its fame and later, love. Had it never been so hated I doubt it would have ever been l so loved.
@HarryCaul89 Well, feel free to begin anywhere you like, as that last comment you wrote is totally useless, faux-smug patheticness. My comment represents my personal opinion on Kubrick's oeurve, so I'm afraid it isn't "wrong", any more than your non-existent rebuttal could be "right". A Clockwork Orange is like Carry On Kubrick, Barry Lyndon is inept and boring, Full Metal Jacket contains the line "Let's get some payback!", and Eyes Wide Shut is... To be honest, I just wanna forget.
"His greatest work..." A Clockwork Orange is a dreadful piece of tripe. ...Well, maybe that's a bit rough, but I strongly disagree with the idea that A Clockwork Orange even closely compares to such works of brilliance as The Killing, Paths of Glory, Spartacus, Lolita, Dr Strangelove, 2001 or The Shining. Perhaps it is better than Fear and Desire (never seen it), Killer's Kiss (ditto), Barry Lyndon (utterly pointless), Full Metal Jacket (stupid) or Eyes Wide Shut (a shameful embarrassment).
@@terratrema yes, true. As a film. Should have won "best picture" over "The Apartment." It is better as a whole, just didn't create that Clockwork myth.

Send death threats to someones family because you don't approve of their violent film, brilliant.

And yes, it does SHOW that we, as human beings, are often incredibly sensitive when it comes to movies.
In addition to this I kinda wonder, was Pier Paolo Pasolini REALLY killed BECAUSE of him making his notorious last film "Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom" (1975) or was there another motive behind his murder? You mean - someone was THAT offended at his movie enough to ACTUALLY kill him??
Alexander Dahoola Who are you talking to?? Are you alright? Did you suffer a stroke? Why are you making the same comment a year apart?
@@Toribot Yeah, OK, also, apparently, Pasolini as killed before his film was released and seen the light of day.

Ah, The Festival Of Light, members - Mary Whitehouse, Cliff Richard and Jimmy Savile.
Eye-opening indeed.

Actually this was for the filmfour network premier and the channel four network premier was shown almost a year later fucking brilliant film though

SO AWESOME!
Mary Whitehouse and the Festival of Light lost in the end. All celebrate for the pain many of us suffered in the 1980s in the UK
imo the greatest film of all time
It would have been impossible without 2001 first.
Rumour has it that this was filmed in Mark Kermode's house
I think I remember seeing it in October 2001!

I have this movie and I love it!!!

His voice was higher pitched
When was this?
I'm mostly playing devils advocate.
Probably around 2000
@terratrema There is so much wrong with your comment that I don't even know where to begin.
Interesting. It would seem the banning of the film gave it a notoriety that prob contributed a great deal to its fame and later, love. Had it never been so hated I doubt it would have ever been l so loved.
The lighting and editing of this intro blows.
not my favourite film but powerful stuff nonetheless

Kubrick himself nearly disowned "Spartacus." FYI

It's still better than A Clockwork Orange.
