Parallel Hallways

Another one of Stanley Kubrick's trademark style is the long, claustophobic hallway with symmetrical walls. They are often used in the scenes where the situation is becoming uncomfortable. For example, in Clockwork Orange, as Alex and his droogs are about to beat the homeless person, we see the walls at each sides reflecting each other at the close range. This gives us uneasy feelings and makes us feel uncomfortable as we see the dreadful event that follows.
