Thursday, February 5th, 2009The movie, a Clockwork Orange inspired me immensely as an impressionable 18 year old trouble maker looking for a reason to become what i am today. I was a very sheltered child. I simply didn’t know this sort of cinema existed. I remember my mom covering my eyes during the love scene in “the Lost Boys” and all they did was kiss. My first girlfriend was five years older than me and she did a bit of corrupting. I was a willing participant mind you. But that movie changed my life. It was like a whole new world. Now i tend to think that direct homages are a bit tacky. Yeah, i could get the one eyelash thingy, and a cod piece, and whatnot … but i’d rather shoot something that only gives the viewer a hint at my motives. For those familiar with the film, you’ll notice a certain similarity to the hair style and color, along with of course, the color orange, not to mention the black room, giving us a hint of the korova milk bar. Btw, none of this was planned in advance. The model showed up with this outfit, the makeup artist did her hair like this without forethought. Its pretty amazing how things work together if you let it happen on its own.
