It's not exactly what one might call subtle. Things are so big and cartoonish, it plays like social satire rather than the serious sci-fi analysis of Christian morality that it should have been. I used to think it was a great movie, but watching it yesterday (for the first time in about a decade) it just seemed silly and somewhat distasteful - not distasteful because of the violence, mind you, but mostly because of the visual style. I usually love Kubrick's visuals, but it didn't work for me this time. It doesn't fit this material; it glamorizes when it should be dissecting. Or maybe I'm just experiencing Kubrick overload from seeing three of his movies in the span of a week.
