Probably the best shot in Clockwork Orange. It basically sets up both the tone and the character of the movie. As soon as I saw Alex's face pop up on the screen, I was like "This is gonna be a good movie."
@TennesseClarks My thoughts exactly! I was pissed off that I was gonna watch this, I dunno why but I was under the impression that this came out in 2007 or something.
@daniauwl Better go watch a romantic comedy, cause movies with a meaning are too complicated and might lead you to THINK and even question your beleifs, the horror....
@666TeenageWhore This was the first film where we can see the appearance of the skinhead style, which served as a baseline to Kibrick to create the droogies.
Big boots, braces, gang mentalit, ultraviolence... The skinhead style was very popular in the seventees for english youth.
@gorfaf88 they are based on the 'peelers'-the first police in the world-nothing to do with skins or hoodies! thinks 50's bike gangs and the even the indian thuggee-yeah guess which word that turned into..only predates skins by about 600 odd years! )
why cant gangs be as cool like this?all we have is retards doing drive by shootings and stupid individual tattooing racist and horrible art in they're fucking ugly faces.
The music intro to this masterpiece has haunted me for many years. Thanks to You Tube, I now know what it is. Haunting! Donald James, Blood Of The Heavens.
What i love about this movie is Alex's transformation from the bad guy to victim, he starts being a son of a bitch raping, robing, fighting with other gangs, and ends being beat up bye homeless, cops, and other sons of a bitches, and the music, so fuckin beautiful.
When I was like 10 years old, I bought the game Conker's Bad Fur Day off a friend. By the intro of that badass game, I learned of this movie. Both Awesome.
This is one of the rare movies that surpassed the book. Burgess did a good job, but his book ended far too optimistically. Kubrick's movie was left much more up to the individual to truly explore themselves and see, is humanity ever going to progress from its natural state, government enforced or not? Kubrick is a god!
Some punk scared the shit outta me, he sounded so much like Alex from the film. Maybe it's because I've only been in the UK for two weeks and am still adjusting to all the accents, but as soon as I heard this guy's voice ("What shall we do today, my brother?" - very loudly in the street) I wanted to turn around and slap him, I was so convinced of his intentionally emulating the film.
How do you follow up a masterpiece for the ages like 2001: A Space Odyssey? You pull the sheets on the elites...and their plan to destroy western society.
@gaivskakashi uh, yeah this is the start of the film. Alex the main character is actually addressing the audience here, which is the only moment where the film breaks the 4th wall, unless you count his continued narration. maybe you should watch the whole film before you try to watch individual parts of it. Cuz as for myself, I probably ejaculated 5 times while re-watching this intro. and I guess....you can take form that what you will.....
@gaivskakashi by all means, don't let me stand in yer way, watch! watch! it's fucking great, a cinematic masterpiece of epic proportions. and just to note what i said before about the 4th wall, here Alex is looking directly into the eyes of the audience. if you look very closely you will see that for a very brief moment, he toasts the audience with his glass of drug laced milk before drinking, as if to say: "you are in for one hell of a ride." an idea Kubrick didn't think of, but really liked.
@gaivskakashi "is that milk really duped" I'm not sure what you mean, if you're asking does the milk have drugs in it, then in story it does. that's why they go there, to drink drug laced milk. the names of the drugs are fictional, so it's not stated if they are stimulants or depressants. but based on the dialog I'd guess it would be the former, sense it "sharpens them up for the old ultra-violence."
The movie fails in that the book's final chapter regarding Alex' redemption is omitted. Alex grows out of his delinquencies and "grows up". Kubrick succeeds in glorifying a psychopath. If he was going for exploit and shock value, great. otherwise, I don't really get his message.
You have to read the book to get the glossary of the language - but after a while the words become almost intuitive...VERY prophetic and disturbing piece of literature.
@imapplhelper The idea I got is it is talking about the line between freedom and control as well as the necessity of free will. To much control and you end up overdoing it (such as what happened to Alex). To much freedom and you have chaos (the atrocities he commits in the beginning). As for free will the idea it shows is that forcing someone to do something isn't making them a good person. You need to convince someone to choose to be a good person. At least thats how I see it.
I think everyone should read the book and watch the movie. Every book and every movie is completely different. I really don't think the two are comparable.
@89whodatcha I've read the book and have the movie on every format possible. If you have the book that has the extra chapter it's a waste of pages. It's practically just about Alex realizing how much of a fuck up he was. Which is why Stanley cut that chapter out cause it wasn't necessary, McDowell's practically displayed how much he realized he was a little shit.
I hate when ppl brag on about reading the book as if they are better....no one cares we saw the movie , that's why movies always say "based on" or "adaptation"
@ExiliousX To say that the book has a dumb ending completely tears down the theme of using existentialism for human betterment. I do agree that kubrick's version is left more ambiguous and somewhat exciting but the only reason it is like that is when the film was made the book had been published incompletely due to the wishes of Burgess' publisher. You're entitled to your opinion but to disregard the 21st chapter doesnt let the character developement of alex fully flourish as Burgess intended.
@leonhardeuler96 To show that it is our ability to make decisions that makes us human. That's what I've always got out of the book and why the chaplain plays such an important role in the book. He brings the entire story of free will into play. What more does the extra chapter add that isn't already there without it?
@ExiliousX The 21st chapter represents age 21, adulthood and maturity. Alex's weakness ultimately is himself. He wears himself out to the point his lust for inflicting misery and and pain isn't as satisfying as it used to be, and he realizes his biological clock is ticking. With a desire to settle down and start a family, he fatally accepts his offspring "like clockwork" will be just as bad as he was and he will have no control over their misdeeds.
@kzero70 Kubrick's ending leaves the character ambiguous, which many will convey as more effective and powerful, but to me it feels hopeless and dehumanizes the anatgonist to nothing more than a child that hasn't learned anything, as if he's almost REWARDED for his psychopathic behavior. The last chapter really is a make or break deal that polarizes fans.
@ExiliousX the idea that there is a capacity for good in everyone. The film and American book end on Alex as an evil criminal who has played the system. The problem with this is that it's hardly the glaring rebuttal of intrusive crime-prevention techniques Burgess intended it to be, because if Alex ends the book as a criminal, then the temptation is to say, "he should have had more Ludovico treatment" and "he deserved everything he got". If he is remorseful of his own accord, that makes sense
@ExiliousX The possibility of redemption, I think. Alex has done all this evil crap his whole life, and then finds he genuinely wants to change for the better. No small miracle, and that's where the book ends. Personally, I'm left wondering if this intention will last, or if he even deserves another chance. Surely, I don't think getting married and having kids should be his first priority like he seems to want; he has a lot to learn about respecting others, but women, especially!
@leonhardeuler96 The last chapter was superfluous, poorly written crap that only told us what we already knew. People change naturally. Really, Burgess? No shit. Thanks for telling me what every other book ever written has already told me. No, the point of the story is much better realized with Kubrick leaving us with Alex, unchanged in spite of all the efforts of all the king's horses and all the king's men.
@leonhardeuler96 i thought the movie ended perfectly, it wouldve felt plodding and repetitive to show alex be good again, seeing as it didnt go well the first time. but in the book i fucking loved those chapters.
@89whodatcha spot on! i hate people that say that the movie didn't follow the book very well... well, if the film was exactly like the book, what's the point of watching it?
For everybody saying the end of the movie has a depressing message, you should read the uncut book. The movie ends just before the last chapter, and the ending the author originally intended..
I love the way the synthesiser changes this melancholic piece of music into something cold, soulless and menacing which to me is what this film is about.
Indeed, this film is the perfect way of saying ''we're all fucked''. Because hey, drugs, ultraviolence and rape. They are all fun. Life without them would clearly be less boring, and this film sums up exactly how if we want to take drugs, rape people, or murder them, then it is our choice, who is to say we are wrong? hopefully not the government in this case. Love this film. 5/5.
I saw this when I just 14 years old (snuck in with my older boyfriend. I absolutely loved it then and still love it now. I love the music!

@leonhardeuler96 The last chapter was superfluous, poorly written crap that only told us what we already knew. People change naturally. Really, Burgess? No shit. Thanks for telling me what every other book ever written has already told me. No, the point of the story is much better realized with Kubrick leaving us with Alex, unchanged in spite of all the efforts of all the king's horses and all the king's men.

@leonhardeuler96 i thought the movie ended perfectly, it wouldve felt plodding and repetitive to show alex be good again, seeing as it didnt go well the first time. but in the book i fucking loved those chapters.

@89whodatcha spot on! i hate people that say that the movie didn't follow the book very well... well, if the film was exactly like the book, what's the point of watching it?

@89whodatcha If only movies based on the book actually followed the books. Clockwork orange actually does a good job but most don't.

For everybody saying the end of the movie has a depressing message, you should read the uncut book. The movie ends just before the last chapter, and the ending the author originally intended..

I love the way the synthesiser changes this melancholic piece of music into something cold, soulless and menacing which to me is what this film is about.

Indeed, this film is the perfect way of saying ''we're all fucked''. Because hey, drugs, ultraviolence and rape. They are all fun. Life without them would clearly be less boring, and this film sums up exactly how if we want to take drugs, rape people, or murder them, then it is our choice, who is to say we are wrong? hopefully not the government in this case. Love this film. 5/5.

This movie tells a great story. Many people are too ignorant to understand it.
