I never cared for that movie, mainly for the subject matter. Your short review was right on, the violence and the British tone. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Cobalt Blue
A classic movie, one of the best of all time, way ahead of its time. Good one for a senyru! You hit it well with this one. A bit concerned with the syllables in the last line as it seems like violence is a two syllable word but I guess it could be stretched to three with a slight twist so it's ok.

Ok...I can see how one could squeeze three out of it. It may be my accent that makes it come off as two.
Comment from OLA THOMAS
The picture complementing this short poem suggests greater level of violence than the work. Not too sure of the author's take. The message or review didn't come clear.

The picture is a still from the film. The first line is the cast, the second line explains the nature of a society used to watching violence. The final line is the overall theme of the novel and film.

Poet,
Your poem is a wonderfully written 5-7-5 poem with colorful imagery that paints a mental picture in the readers head. The art work is chilling and priceless.
I enjoyed your lines because you used good alliteration with the V words and your satoti line is great:
"Alex, and three droogs
"Viddy well, little brother."
Ultra-violence! "
I wish you good luck in the Haiku Movie Review writing prompt contest with your smartly composed poem. I will recommend your poem to other reviewers. Nice day to you...Missy.

Comment from Ekim777
I've got to admit I didn't understand a couple of words. They seem to stem from another language but they all add up to ultra violence. I thought the whole movie was cruel. I hate it when humanity is subjected to cruelty even on the silver screen. By the way your Haiku is remote from the tenets of Zen Buddhism which is what Haiku is all about; Man's relationship with the universe.-Ekim777

Anthony Burgess, the novel's author, created a language for the gang characters to use.
Alex, and three droogs (The main character and his cohorts)
"Viddy well, little brother." (Viddy is a verb for 'to watch')
Ultra-violence! (the theme of the story was societal violence)
Thank you for reviewing my poem.
