NEVER MIND KUBRICK, READ BURGES. Shit, read something! Few people realize that this is what separates them from men like Kubrick. Start creating instead of sucking on other peoples art. Just for the record- One of my all time favorite movies.

Love Kubrick's films but he is granted too much credit for Burges' masterpiece. It was clear the impact this novel had on Kubrick as he shyed from altering the story outside of replacing Alex's love of Motzart with that of "the old Ludwig Van" and the last chapter that suggested the beginnings of a reformation in the youth's character. Those boobs that flocked around this film for the "ultra violence, and a bit of the old in out, MISSED THE POINT.No, NOT ABOUT GOOD AND EVIL AT ALL. LOWBROWS.

@1point7g Well if your asking, I would have to say yes, if for no other reason than to see if the origional themes and intentions were preserved in the film. Fortunetly Kubrick remained extremely attentive to Burges' novel (masterpiece) that is up untill the last chapter. In the film, our story ends with Alexs' recovery in the hospital, whearas the noval wraps up with Alex coming to some sort of awakening concerning his future, mariage, children and awareness of literacy.

The intro is questionable. The question was presented by Burges as follows. Is it the responsibility of the state to reform the criminal element or is it up to the individual? It also points to the absurdity of a societys role (legal system) in approaching (nay) reacting to that element. Who's good, Whos evil? Evil feeling good is irrelevent to this story's theme. This is a reactionary observation of those who missed the point. Kubrick also irrelevant. Its Burges that is the creative element.
