Singin' in the Rain - A Clockwork Orange

[ComradeStanimir]

If anyone took this as a joke - they are fucked up. They are essentially alex and his droogs. They are evil people. That's the point of A Clockwork Orange - the depravity of modern society.

[XChildeofMalkavX]

@ComradeStanimir

what's ironic is that 2 of the droogs became cops.

[MegaJosiell]

de todos os filmes violentos q ja vi nunhum me supreendeu meu sonho é ver um q me deixe com bem estar

[1amn0tapu]

i like the part when he sings in the rain.

[1amn0tapu]

@craftedmydemise it didnt disturb me...

[snake5807]

this movie sucks !

[TheJuiceManIsMe]

anybody know the name of that painting? or who the artist is?

[FM897]

What's so disturbing is all the violation going on here: the violation of having a group of strangers essentially break into your home and invade your personal space, the violation of bodily integrity (through rape and/or beating), and having to watch your beloved being violated, all while listening to one of the perpetrators sing "Singin' in the Rain", at once mocking your distress and making you aware of the perpetrators' complete lack of empathy. Such a complex scene.

[maquilaconsvitt]

101 people was invaded for the drugs

[gmta28]

I think the most disturbing scene was later on, when they meet again and the old man hears him Singin' in the Rain in the tub and realizes who he is and FREAKS.

[MrGuitarXX]

amazing movie. Nuff said

[ycrocker721]

100 people don't practice ultra-violence

[AtStreetLevel]

I love how I don't feel disturbed and find this scene immoral when I watch it. Very well done

[Humanoidfreak]

It's because of this scene that i can no longer listen to Singing in the rain without thinking of this. Still a good movie though.

[KubrickYarblockos]

It takes a malchick to have yarbles in order to viddy this scene.

[waistnotime]

Hehe this is really crazy but i like it!

[CaliforniaJoker1]

I first watched this movie in school. After the doorbell chimes our usually placid, shy teacher paused the video and turned to the class to say, "The doorbell plays Beethoven's 5th symphony..." and with a crazed grin added, "It's the little things" before playing the vid again.

That's when I realized that there's a goon in all of us.

[choconatio]

Oh if only Stanley was still alive.

[EssexAggiegrad2011]

Best home invasion ever!

[bobafooz]

OHMYGOODNESS I did not realize that the robe the man is wearing is the one Alex wears later in the movie, what a prick Alex is!

[WordSaladGirl]

There's a theory on TV Tropes that Alex is his universe's incarnation of the Joker from Batman.

Honestly, I believe it.

[SaturnElena]

rest in peace genius Stanley

[raulaqua89]

Best Movie EVER.

[tweekedoutrabbit]

The manner in which they go about this is so unsettling. Alex singing "Singin in the Rain" as he beats and rapes this woman shows how violence has become something so enjoyable... Great movie.

[Dravenswraith]

@tweekedoutrabbit i think i read he sang that because its the song he knew the words to

[tweekedoutrabbit]

@Dravenswraith i read that too. I guess Kubrick just told him too dance around and during the scene he started to sing the song.

[wilfre2s]

I fucking love it . One of my favorite movies of all time

[MproductionsMovies]

@wilfre2s Mine too!

[roln14]

WHAT THE FUCK?

[rockerxxchick307]

lmao im singing in the rain!!

[chickenyogurt]

A song intended to express the joy in newfound love being used as a precursor to robbery and rape? Gotta love that dark humor

[notoriousnews]

I got this movie coming on Netflix soon.

[Crazyzen777]

@notoriousnews You wont be disappointed, favorite movie/book of all time

[aaron19840904]

stanley kubrick was a genius

[Crazyzen777]

@aaron19840904 so was anthony burgeousse <<< HARD NAME TO SPELL and too lazy to go find my copy of the book :P

[aaron19840904]

@Crazyzen777 it's spelled burgess

[Malfiore1967]

OrganMutilator : Many people don't like to talk about or look at horrific things but they still occur. I don't get people with your head in the sand mentality as If this will make anything cease. These things happen everyday and you did come here to watch it didn't you? It's in the film to depict how far he has descended into madness.

[MrBillcale]

malcolm? wheres the magic..?! malcolm can you dance?

CAN I DANCE STANLEY?! i'm singin in the rain o/~

hold that thought malcolm i have a song to purchase..

put on your dancing shoes malcolm

true story

[enzoarthur]

right right right..?

[MrJuno6]

@Himaryous.You've missed the whole point The nature of art is to provoke thought. The fact that violence of this severity and worse exists, is not because of work like this. Kubrik never intended anyone to laugh at people being raped and murdered The film is a much deeper investigation into the psychological dynamics of such behaviour. I have watched this film many times and I have never considered it to be "making a joke out of violence" In fact I find that view in itself quite offensive.

[nameistaken]

Does it make me a monster if this is my favorite scene in the movie just for the pure severity.

[josevanreyes]

I it love when he puts the cane between the legs and slaps the girl.

[ThePanzerfist44]

Warren Clarkes mad manic laughter makes this scene all the more horrific , for me its not the worst scene in the film - that would be the murder of Miriam carlins character with a four foot long porcelain penis - very symbolic of how women have suffered for millenia under the oppresion of male society .

still, all women want is a big stiff cock - keeps em happy enough :-))

[UziFlame]

In all honesty, I don't see why people detest this movie. Yes, it has... this scene and some scenes of him beating up other people, but those are just a couple scenes in a very good movie.

Don't get me wrong this isn't a movie that you show in a classroom, but I think most of the criticism is exaggerated.

[Pikminlord]

Anybody else think of Voltaire's song "When You're Evil" whenever they think of Alex?

[JudioRusoII]

@Pikminlord absolutely

[FZmustacheFZ]

What specific piece is this in the beginning of the clip?

[qwerty123400001]

@FZmustacheFZ The Overture from The Theving Magpie by Rossini

[FZmustacheFZ]

@qwerty123400001 Ahhhhh, thank you!:D

[Beholderification]

It's hilarious how they play beethoven in all of these ultra-violence scenes.

[fyfytj]

@Beholderification- This isn't Beethoven.

[TheSydneyLad]

Wow. Alex really DOES love doing evil stuff. That's like me when I'm incredibly happy and I don't care what I'm doing or how weird I get or how I am perceived by other people.

[superpunk]

viddy well little brother viddy well!

[stsboy]

It's funny that the clip features the violent part, but cuts before the nudity,

[cyprel]

@stsboy very american ;)

[TaleOfValors]

my gulliver hurts when i watch this

[FredrikFlintstone]

fair thee well little brother, fair thee well.

[FredrikFlintstone]

the intro is 'theiviing magpies'

[markf1512]

A victim of the modern age!

[1996alexrose]

I wish they were doing this to Justin Bieber's Grandparents

[g3boarder]

I fell ill but at the some a classic scene

[chinaboyd]

XDXDXDXDDXD IM STILL LAUGHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrMutherFocker]

Who here was Alex for Halloween?

[WatchesVideosOnUtube]

this scene is just plain fucked up.

[NyeTunes]

I love his "I'm SINGIN'!" before he knocks the shelf down. :-P

[roland6663]

best scene ever, man

[thecrazyone10001]

i think the book is much more cruel. and even tho the movie is pretty close to the book, there's just different feel to it.

[fyfytj]

@thecrazyone10001- I've never read the book, does Anthony Burgess describe it differently?

[sethbacchus]

When the Film was released, it had a major impact on the UK. Fact.

[truvelocity]

When this film was made, it was before an entire generation were desensitized from violence on TV, so when it became mainstream, people felt it was mildly violent. Especially compared to Soilent Green or the Exorcist.

[Professor6871]

@truvelocity Try Straw Dogs, Starring Dustin Hoffman that came out about the same time as A Clock Work Orange did that's ten times more violent than even this was. Clock Orange stylized violence while Straw Dogs wasn't with a rape scene that was real. In some ways Clock Work Orange was like a dark comic book in the vein of Batman. No thugs would wear get up what Alex's gang did in the movie.

[truvelocity]

Professor, yes, that's right. I watched this movie when ON TV was the first cable on the West Coast in the 70's and it didn't shock me at all, because I had already been conditioned by violence as a child. I would say that during and after Vietnam, the Baby Boomers, have become the most cynical and jaded generation, so far.

[Professor6871]

@truvelocity Yes interesting but depressing at the same time what you sad: 'the Baby Boomer's have become the most cynical and generation, so far.' A major reason why the current generation are so much out of control as they are today. What role models have they got then too make them different?

[truvelocity]

@Professor6871 Baby boom is a turn used for babies born between 1945 and 1964, the largest generation like a basket ball going through a garden hose due to the army men coming home from WW2. They became the "Yuppies" which are well off middle class and became professionals. Its a funny irony that they were hippies who became successful who are raising children with a very conservative approach. I'd hardly call that out of control.

[Professor6871]

@truvelocity Don't patronise me I know what the term baby boomers is. Why can't that generation admit too their mistakes? Their antiauthoritianism was a role model for the next generation that included making drugs fashionable and premisscuous sex as the norm. The result: uncontrolled drug abuse with the destruction of lives and the spread of HIV and Aids across the globe, all thanks to the liberals and their wakie ways.

[truvelocity]

@Professor6871 Also, cynical generation means they were privy the Nixon scandal (Watergate) which lead to distrust of politics like no other generation before them. Exposed to violence was a concern to older people who thought it would desensitize kids of the baby boomers but far from it. It didn't, because after Vietnam and Kennedy assassinations, that's enough to get you cynical. The generation out of control is the Prozac for kids causing them to shoot other kids and Autism epidemic.

[Professor6871]

@truvelocity It does desentise them too violence they can prove that. Nixon and Watergate was a reaction to the anachists and lefties who were underminning American society with their filth and corrucption. They would of won the

Vietnam War if they had hadn't had the liberals all time in the media, underminning everthing they did there. They caused the Vietnamese boat people and the genocide that took place in Cambodia from 1975-79.

[covenstead]

"What we were after was the ol' 'surprise visit.'"

IDK WHY, but personally I find the entire scene hilarious. Maybe because of how nonchalant they are, while they are committing such a heinous crime. You can tell that this is something "routine" for them - it's nowhere near the first time they've done something like this.

[Himaryous]

@covenstead That's the reason I despise this movie. It makes a joke out of violence and asks people to laugh at the sight of a man being beaten and a woman being raped.

[PaulRietvoorn]

i think its really good how Kubrick used the classical music, because that makes it really obvious that Alex feels so happy when fighting and raping, you really crawl into the head of the leading character, and normally i cant really empathize with a very bad leading character like this one

[Professor6871]

@PaulRietvoorn Well you do empathize later on with Alex in the film after what the government do to him as a punishment for his crimes. The rape is not actually shown in the film it is just suggested today it would be shown.

[kevinpwnsnubs]

that wasnt that violent....but it was kind of disturbing

and i would choose disturbing over violent any day =P

[craftedmydemise]

I LOVE this scene. I love it because it disturbs your sense of well being and moral values without the use of crazy digitized camera effects and cgi's. The most striking part of this scene, I think, is the fact that in spite of all of the gruesomely violent acts taking place, Alex sings "Singing In The Rain" a song associated with happiness in spite of bad circumstances. I was born in 1989 and have been raised on the new "fancier" movies. Nothing beats the quality of this complex simplicity

[pnut3844]

this movie was hyped up to be a master piece and i just watched it. gotta say i was let down. it wasnt that graphic. they have shit way worse now days. i guess i was expecting something along the lines of 2001. ACO was worth watching once i guess but ill never sit through it again. too boring and slow paced

[aliveinuterine]

@pnut3844 That's because it was made in 1971. For the time it was horrificly shocking and violent and graphic, because it didn't have to impress a mass desensitized audience like films do today. It's a classic.

[pnut3844]

@aliveinuterine ive talked to people who grew up on this movie and even they said they dont see the big deal

[aliveinuterine]

@pnut3844 well each to their own I guess.

[watch21online]

Oh my god I love this! You guys have got to see the new How to Train a Dragon movie. It is so funny and looks AMAZING in 3D! I just watched it over at "ww w (.) free-full-movies (.) com" and you can too! Send me a message telling me what you think of the movie when your done watching it! Bye!

[Kwinsir]

hahahaha! Cool!

[alluvermin]

Wow. Way to screw up a better film...

[BlackTandil666]

Kubrick master , geniusssssss, r.i.p... anthony burguess too

[porotavaldivieso]

amo esta película!!!

[thehoundsound]

This Is One Of My Favorite Scenes

Much Love The Hounds

[hostel7371]

violent

[2012Ronpaul2012]

damn she got slapped hard!

[quicksketcher]

Hey, stalkingvengeance, maybe one would say a group of malchecks. For instance, you might say "look at that old hag." A hag is an old, ugly woman. So although it appears redundant, it is commonly used.

[ludaga96]

veryyy beatiful! a im gay!!

[martinyeomans8]

i didn't like this movie at all

[xaviermoyssen]

fuck off

[ThrilloVanHouten]

Mmm...ultra-violence...

[gabocas]

Which the Ludwing van Beethoven, melody at the beginning of this scene???

[eleanorlouise713]

Stanley Kubrick apparently asked malcom mcdowell (Alex) what songs he knew, and he said singing in the rain, then stanley immediately bought the rights to the song.

I bet gene kelly wasnt too pleased about this scene LOL

LOVE A CLOCKWORK ORANGE

[juventinodenz]

LOL 2:35

[bkasipavicius3]

have you ever sing this song

remembering this song

while walking on the street?

[felipelagossa]

Stanley Kubrick !!!

[maison649649]

god i love that scene, so intense, improvised and all set at the same time

[crahsbash]

This movie sure is interesting, things sure we're scary back in 1972

[Zer0san]

its not supposed to be 1972, it's supposed to be the year 2000+

[ThrilloVanHouten]

I thought it was supposed to be the near-future of the 1980's.

[zEcKtA]

They were not too wrong

[Professor6871]

@crahsbash It sure was scary the country was on verge of collapse and revolution around. So much so that the Home Seretary of the time, saw the movie first before it was released to the general public according too a documentary I saw.

[Professor6871]

@crahsbash It sure was scary the country was on verge of collapse and revolution around then. So much so that the Home Seretary of the time, first saw the movie before it was released to the general public according too a documentary I saw on the making of it.

[chichiace101]

they cut the best part >:(

[OpethPennywise]

malchick is actually just any Male.... its russian, and Devotcha is any Female.

The "Slang" in this movie is mostly Russian-English slang.

[VK2008Benidorm]

just cut the best part...

[esteban0burton]

My Favorite villain, the second is hannibal lecter, then michael myers, and the last Thomas Hewit

[Abnormt]

This is the first rape scene to be shown in a movie.

I just love this movie and book! At once it reples you and at the same time it facinates you. It's just brilliant!

[SinpsonsFan4Life]

one of the most violent scenes in the whole movie

[blipperflipper]

actually when hes forced to viddy the films theres two more violent scenes than this one.

where a group of malchecks are beating the shit out of a guy.

and then another group of malchecks who are raping a girl. wich is alot more graphic than the way they show the rape scene here.

also (malcheck means a gang of droogs like alex and his droogs) incase you didnt know.

[stalkingvengeance]

If you think malcheck means group, why would you say a group of malchecks? (IE a group of group of droogs?)

[blipperflipper]

when i said group, i meant like, a sect of a gang. but i couldnt think of the words for it, so to me by the context i heard it in the movie and the book, it seems it means a person of a gang or group.

so yeah theres that, but you make a good point.

[srturtle71]

singing in the rain was the only song that malcom mcdonald knew all the lyrics to

[SSJSIDJ]

McDonald?! Aha und die Burger geht man im McDowell´s essen oder was?

[las200millas]

the best movie 4eva

[Kyonkyonpanda]

I saw the film singin in the rain after this...I couldn't get this movie out of my mind. D:

Particularly this scene. Highly disturbing, but brilliant film.

[DonCorleone87]

very well filmed scene, but I fail to see how it amuses people... it's a horrifying scene

[Timothyv491]

You can see it either way.

Singin' In The Rain is not a horrific song. People just dont understand that THAT is the scariest thing about this scene.

[manomans]

that`s right!

this scene makes "singin in the rain" a scary song.

very good movie

i saw it when a was 13 whit my dad XD

[maxwellreddy]

I wonder how many times they had to do this scene? They would have to set up all tose books on the shelves over and over again XD

[maurogp77]

excelente!

[DirgeOfTheInferno]

horrorshow doesnt mean scary or what not as we know it. it means good. its nadsat language for all thou who didnst know

[physicalgraffiti01]

good impression of dim

[TimeSpacial]

This scene's really horrorshow

[deathray393]

I really dont understand why this is so scary.

[cOrAluvsthee]

Well you have to see the whole movie xD; then you'll understand why

[sittinon20s]

this scene is the best i ever seen

[1973WBBH]

Clássico!

[davidovich00]

I´ll never forget the level of cruelty on this scene... what Alex did... and that song!! I can´t listen to it without feeling a shiver down my spine.

[shockisallinyourhead]

"Well i suppose you better let them in."

just remember that doorbell ring is the sound you hear before someone is raped or beaten D:

[wily1138]

Like how he puts his cane between Georgie's legs. Does it with some force as wel. Ouch!

[Premod]

its Dim , Georgie is sitting on the old man

[ctmthepik]

3:04 dubidu dubidu :D!

[1234yersiman]

These guys are nuts

[anthonyvvs]

"Singing in the rain" now has a whole new meaning . . . lol

[dubcantgetrite]

[BerberanPTpsy]

[freazingmoon]

[CorpseOfChrist]

Epic

[ZahinDenatrose]

If you want to know what happens to the wife, yet don't want to actually -see- what happens...

Alex cut the wife's clothing with scissors, she having no bra or underwear under her clothing, she is immediately raped by a naked Alex, the husband pissed off and screaming.

[Peeples01]

aww, you cut out the best part.

[briarcliff69]

one of the best movies of all time--really makes you think

[tmny876]

this was the only film/movie you could not get anywhere on video or dvd untill recently after stanley kubrik banned it.

[22480937]

just... singin in the rain...

[Cidantis]

all morels aside, this is a fantastic film

[GeGeMus12]

i prefer 2001: Space Odyssey than this movie though

[Volviert]

Shame on you!

[maskedcrusader]

Alex DeLarge did the best cover I've heard of singing in the rain in a long time...

[edwardthegreat101]

great video and movie and book...

[ICKERPPPEZ]

that song is?

[weenvalo]

One of the most brilliant movies to date! And this scene is just awesome!

[taleisyn]
