As much as I loved this movie (and I do, very, very much), it's hard to compare to the book. The feel of each is pretty different. Both are sinister while remaining playful, but the movie is like a circus compared to the book. I wish they had left in some of the more disturbing parts of the prison period in the movie, but all in all I say they are both amazing, despite being rather different.
4.5/5

Edit: The singing in the rain scene is amazing.

As for the made-up language, I had no trouble understanding what it meant, and it leant a nice cadence to his speech.

Agreed. And you can't knock Kubrick for that, since it was in the book as well. I liked it very much, andI still think close to the books heart is language and communication, although nobody agrees with me.
