Happy 220th BDay Rossini!!

[talentum00]

You shouldn't leave those annoying overlays on so long - a few seconds is quite sufficient. I would have preferred to link your vid to a few friends, but the fact that I am forced to x-out of your overlays prevented me from recommending it.

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

@talentum00 it's to not ruin the plot. But then again, anyone that comes on here, watches and comments has already read the book and watched the movie so you got a point.

Is this made by rossini ? if so , why the 1:00 part sounds a lot familiar to Franz Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, im confused , could someone explain ?

[benco5311]

Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.

[NikaKasradze]

As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time - Now it was to be Georgie the general, saying what we should do and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless greeding bulldog. But suddenly, I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones, and that the oomny ones use like, inspiration and what Bog sends. Now it was lovely music that came into my aid. There was a window open with the stereo on, and I viddied right at once what to do.

I'm sorry, but best part of movie is where is penis statue fight.

Fucking awesome!! its sick and i like it :D

[ChopperMD55]

A Clockwork Orange actually comes from Anthony Burgess' trip to a tribal village in the Amazon, in which the word for man was, "Orang"

He translated this into Orange, and the Clockwork part means machine. So the title states that Alex in a man, turned to a machine by society exploiting him for its own odds and ends.

[cheradinine8]

Nothing mysterious about the title of A Clockwork Orange... It comes from the cockney expression, As Cuckoo as a Clockwork Orange...

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

@cheradinine8 Best comment ever I think.

[Aluenvey]

@DetrimentDaSuffering And then the spanish think of it as an explosive pineapple i think?

[TheSerialTrain]

@cheradinine8 That is one the many meanings, the most obvious would be that Alex is being tuned like a clockwork, him being organic...like an orange. The Orange also represents sweetness and etc.

[StarWarsKnowitall95]

@cheradinine8 also ties in with the theme of treating everyone equally, as if they were a piece of machinery. but then colliding with the orange which is organic and unique. just a little knowledge. sort of paradoxical

[EddieWoodJr]

@cheradinine8 "Orange" vient de "Orang", qui signifie "Man". Le titre est donc "A Clockwork Man". Désolé mais j'avais pas envie de m'emmerder à parler anglais. ^^

[captainalex567]

I always liked devotchka and malenky, and I think my favorite quote is lomticks of toast.

[maxeypad]

RIGHT, RIGHT!

[CoolerKing37]

No one can ever listen to this anymore without thinking of Georgie getting bashed in the balls with a cane....

[leviatan2410]

As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside but thinking all the time. So now it was to be Georgie the General, saying what we should do, and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless, grinning bulldog. But, suddenly, I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones, and that the oomny ones used like inspiration and what Bog sends. For now it was lovely music that came to my aid. There was a window open, with a stereo on, and I viddied right at once what to do.

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

Not for any importance at all, just for fun but it would be interesting to see whose favorite Nadsat word they love to use or say or even a quote from the movie? For me it would be: right right, righty right; viddy well lil' brother viddy well, or my personal favorite... eggiwegs.

[mk41794]

@DetrimentDaSuffering This movie has been with me for over 30 years now. My mates and I (all went to college in the 80s) still call each other "droogs," call our wives "devotchkas," and do say "viddy well, lil brother ..." But we're more inclined to quote Lindsay Anderson's "If ...." (Malcolm's first film, which contributed to his getting this role) for some reason. We're just obscure mother fuckers that way.

[MSJCPoetry]

@DetrimentDaSuffering I love using the words 'Viddy' and Eggiwegs is also a favourite of mine, along with 'Lomticks of Toast'

[TheMadVideoer]

My favorite quote is

"Hi, hi, hi, my little droogies!"

and my favorite phrase is

Tollchoke you in the gulliver. ;D

[TheMadVideoer]

My favorite quote is

"Hi, hi, hi, my little droogies!"

and my favorite phrase is

[mrshneakyshneaky]

@DetrimentDaSuffering mine is " hear the angels trumpets and the devimls trumbones, you are invited" its not a nadsat quote but my favorite line

[ragemanchoo82]

@DetrimentDaSuffering Eggiwegs and steaky-wakes.

[sabymoon]

@DetrimentDaSuffering I've used the term "horrorshow" quite often since I saw the movie, long ago. Burgess said he based the boys' slang on Russian, as if USSR had won the cold war.

[ViewtifulRaoul]

@DetrimentDaSuffering I say em (mum), hi hi hi there, welly welly welly well, devotchka (girl), babooshka (old woman), I also call people brother/sister/uncle. I liked to carry canes/sticks/hockey-sticks and stuff ever since I was a child way before watching this movie, and I've always loved to drink milk, and since I was young I listened to Mozart/Dvorak/Beethoven, and I've also loved wearing hats. It's strange how my whole life coincided with Alex's (I watched this 2011).

[jimbobhk2009]

@ViewtifulRaoul hey same!, you rape and fight too?

[maz8869]

@DetrimentDaSuffering I do like to slooshy the radio in the morning while munchiwunching my lomticks of toast ;) deng and cutter are favs too :)

it has something to do with the word oran meaning man kind of using a play on words

I am trying to find the tv film"The Orchestra" made by i think a German film maker.

This piece of music was played along with"Albanonis adagio" ,Samual Barbers Adagio for the strings.Ravells Bolero(People walking up concrete stairs)

It has a horse drawn cart in it at one point walkink on the stage .During Samual barbers adadgio a long legged girle is seen walking along planks of wood tipping off people along the way. She is wearing just stockings and suspenders

[Straightsix76]

Have a couple of Q's for you droogies. I once read that the word 'clockwork' pertained to Alex's cold, mechanical rape and pillage nature, which may only be one aspect. The other may have been that he was programmed like a machine during his conditioning at the correctional facility? Not sure about the word 'orange', anyone know what was meant by this?

[sirpoonscheeze1000]

@Straightsix76 ornage means something in some other language......i forget but i think it means man i.e. A Clockwork Man.

[Fatal1ty919]

@Straightsix76 i can't remember exactly where but i believe in the book it's said that alex is a "clockwork orange" because he's an organic being on the outside (like an orange), but a machine (clockwork) on the inside after he goes through the ludovico technique.

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

@Straightsix76 I wish I knew but all I know is, it's a great title for a book and a movie thus we have both.

[midnight8731]

@DetrimentDaSuffering orange is a reference to the fruit and how that is it something natural such as alex's nature for rape ultra violence, etc. so while he is on one way mechanical he is also natural to many things.

[Einvestigator96]

@Straightsix76

Maybe the fact that he hates the society he lives in, made him act like a clockwork person, being violent without a reason.

The orange: the nature in his purest form. A man that loves people, that helps them.

The Clockwork mechanism: his behaviour, as a result of the cruel society.

[devintracyorourke]

@Straightsix76 An 'orange' is a human, one that has free will. A 'clockwork orange' is one that has been programmed to think and act a certain way and has thus lost his free will.

[PivAd123]

@Straightsix76 I'm pretty sure Clockwork Orange meant a human flesh being controlled like a clockwork.

Like what happened to Alex and his Ludovico treatment, he is being controlled by it. Try and go to collativelearning website and find the movie analysis of Clockwork Orange. It's long and amazing

[MrTaterRaider]

@Straightsix76 A Clockwork Orange = A Programed Man, Orange being not from the tree but from Orangutan.

[rasputin63]

@Straightsix76 The title comes from an old Victorian Cockney phrase (long pre-dating Burgess's novel) , "Why, he's as queer as a clockwork orange!"

You wouldn't cut open an orange expecting to find clockwork innards. Thus it refers to something exceedingly rare--- and thus strange. Queer as a clockwork orange.

[Straightsix76]

@rasputin63 Thanks for that little droogy

[Rehab069]

@Straightsix76

It refers to the organic being made artificial, during the inhumane conditioning experiment

[sirpoonscheeze1000]

@Straightsix76 i think orange means "machine" in some language but i forget.

[Eiasash]

@Straightsix76 you had me at droogies

[lewiscode]

@Straightsix76 It's explained in the book. Basically it means something that gives the outward appearance of being alive, but inside is devoid of emotion or life. Outside it's an orange, but inside it's a clockwork mechanism.

*SPOILER ALERT* like Alex after the Ludovico treatment. He's acts nice, but not because he chooses to. He's lost his humanity. The whole point is it's only when you choose to be good that it counts.*SPOILER ALERT*

[jeffersongt]

@Straightsix76 A Clockwork Orange is a little windup toy that looks like a little orange ball with feet that hops or walks around after it has been wound up. The book asks some questions about human nature, such as do we really have free will or are our behaviors the result of our biological makeup and/or conditioning we have received.

[zapzaczapzaczap]

@Straightsix76

The work "Orange" in Nadsat (the speak the book was written in) means "Man"

the entire phrase thus means "A man who acts as a machine" referring to Alex's loss or freewill after the procedure he was forced to endure . Hope that was some help. (This info is found in the book when the narrator is searching the place referred to as "Home")

[2deeley]

@Straightsix76 Alex is made to be sweet by the ludovico technique, he is forced to be good. Anthony Burgess claimed that the orange represented sweetness (Alex made to be GOOD)...and the clockwork being the fact that it was a mechanical goodness, brought on by the fact that he's forced to be good, meaning it's not from the heart.

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

@2deeley I think you explained it best.

[mrshneakyshneaky]

@2deeley i applaud you for that



[scionofdreams]

@Straightsix76 I think the orange symbolizes life and more specifically human life.

[SFforlife]

@Straightsix76 Yeah what 2deelev said pretty much. He's a biological organism, (the orange) but made to function precisely like clockwork.

[TheDanification]

@Straightsix76 I've read that "orange" is a reference to "orangutan." As in a programmed human.

[ezelite]

@Straightsix76 Its from the word for man..like Orangutan..The Clockwork Man

[MrSmurphy054]

@Straightsix76 the clockwork orange refers to the sun. the sun being what is used to measure time. it is also a reference to the illuminati

[Kakarot21591]

@Straightsix76 I think it also has to do with the irony: It's as impossible to make a human clockwork as it is to make a clockwork orange, so it's along the same lines as what the others were saying.

[Garren16]

I viddy a bit of the ol' ultra violence and some of the old inout inout when I hear this wonder if anyone else does >:D

I strongly suggest anyone whose not read the book to read it.. The film misses out the most important chapter!

Oh dear Lord. I saw this movie when it came out with my droogs. Fine bunch of lads. After we went out in the parkinging lot of a secluded area and fought bare fisted quoting this masterpiece.

After seeing it, it is always good to get in a bit of the ultraviolence.

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

Click through description. You'll find a link leading you to a Nadsat dictionary thingamichig. Welcome droogs and droogettes. Have fun reading through the terms.

[albinoclone]

"one thing i could never stand was to see a filthy dirty old drunkie, howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going blerp blerp as it might be a filthy old orchestra in his stinking rotten guts. i could never stand to see anyone like that no matter what age they were, but especially if they were real old."

[Fortiforeal]

The Slang has influences of Russian in it along with made up words but i believe the reason Russian was added into it is because of the whole Communist Russian threat at the time.

[Iceman300c]

I read the book and just barely understood it. Am i alone on this? is it like some wierd slang i dont understand because im american

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

@Iceman300c Nah, everyone who's read the book gets that same opinion when they first read it. It'll grow on you over time.

[bluemoonrising26]

@Iceman300c

To be honest, you can get a good understanding of what the words mean just by considering the context. But if you really can't understand it, you can print a dictionary of the different terms of a couple of different websites. The different words are a mixture of Russian, American and British slang terms (Burgess was in the USSR when he got the idea to write the book when he saw a 'gang' in a cafe, cursing and arguing, and then stand and politely hold a door open for him as he left)

[Iceman300c]

@bluemoonrising26 Usually i can get it, most of the times, sort of, but ill try that. Thanks.

[orlandotheaxe]

@Iceman300c watch the movie and then reread the book-you'll enjoy it infinitely more

[Iceman300c]

@orlandotheaxe i did, but i still barely got it, like i went back and gave the movie another watch and im getting the hang of it

[orlandotheaxe]

@Iceman300c it also helps to watch the movies with subtitles on if you're still missing a lot of the words

[Iceman300c]

@orlandotheaxe netflix dosent have subtitles on instant play on xbox 360

[THEBOBANDTEDSHOW1]

@Iceman300c after watching the movie i understood every little bit of it but i was a bit confused with the nadsat

[MproductionsMovies]

@Iceman300c The author (Anthony Burgess) made a fictional type slang words called "Nadsat", which is what Alex and his droogs are speaking ("Viddi" - watching, "Yarbles" - testicles and so on). It's not used much in Kubrick's adaption as it is in the book.

[fohawk871]

@Iceman300c THOU GLOBBY BOTTLE OF CHEAP, STINKING CHIP OIL!!! no, it was some sort of weird mixed slang of slavic, english & cockney.

[Thecuregalore94]

@Iceman300c It's just Nadsat droogie. Learn from the dictionary at the back of the book :)

[mistydreamz]

@Iceman300c some versions of the book come with a glossary at the back which explains those words. there's an entire website dedicated to clockwork orange words, so u cud look up that as well.

my friend said, Alex speaks in a mix of russian-english. so perhaps russian people understand it better?

[FClefBoy]

@Iceman300c The book is about making connections. Each bit of slang has English words surrounding it, allowing you to associate with your imagination what that word should mean. Burgess used a lot of the same slang words throughout his book, so once you figure out what one word means the next time you encounter it you won't have to spend time thinking about it.

[BlackCrowNavajo]

@Iceman300c it's no really slang.. or. to me more accurate, it is a unique slang invented by the author specifically for this book, and uses words from Russian vocabulary, like droog -friend, gloopy - dumb, etc...

[RPGgamerVII]

@Iceman300c I'm 13 and I understood most of it while reading.

[mwells219]

@Iceman300c the weird feeling is just your mind expanding. 

[sirpoonscheeze1000]

@Iceman300c if you read it enough youll understand it.

[Struckworld]

@Iceman300c Trainspotting had the same thing, I re-read and understand their words

[ThomasMFilms]

@Iceman300c Dude. Its nadsat. It was made up for the book.

[Xanth016]

@DetrimentDaSuffering haha much appreciated o' my brother

[CreeperNight]

Oh, the feeling in my guttie-wuts. Real horrorshow, like. 

[ShadowCrashed81]

I don't understand why I liked this movie looking back, honestly.

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

@ShadowCrashed81 Watch it again and think bout why you thought you did. Never hurts to watch it once more to see what you think of it these days.

[mk41794]

@ShadowCrashed81 On my other channel, MovieMattness, I am getting ready to put up a review of this film that explores this very issue, how my impression of this has evolved and changed since I first saw the film in 1979. My enthusiasm for it has waned a bit, perhaps out of annoyance from all the new generations of fanboys, but it certainly worth exploring if you want to examine your own evolving tastes.

[bioshockt]

O' my droogs and devotchkas let us have a horrorshow of a time with the good ol' ultraviolence!

[stp52x]

What is every dorogoy malchick and devotchka posting comments on this video like in a Clockwork Orange Club or something? Because I'd like to join!!

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

@stp52x Nah, just think people love to come to this video and connect with the other droogs.

[switcherx]

youtube.com/watch?v=Z-zRtT5jPL­A&feature=related shows the fight scene

[switcherx]

@DetrimentDaSuffering When Alex is getting his 'treatment, they play Beethoven's 5th symphony, in a synthezized version. That's played by Walter/Wendy Carlos, and like the title song from the movie isn't found on YouTube... maybe if people post the movie clips where the music is featured you can get away with it.

[DetrimentDaSuffering]

@switcherx I had the music up until a minute after putting it up it had a copyright from some entertainment site. If you type in A Clockwork Orange Ode to Joy you'll find the one you have mentioned.

[NeverAloneForever]

@switcherx I think you mean his 9th symphony.

[switcherx]

@NeverAloneForever right

Absolutely brilliant! One of my favourite movies, I think I watched it half a dozen times
