The problem with Kubrick's version of the story is that it is based on the AMERICAN version of Anthony Burgess' story, which (for reasons that Burgess explains in the foreword of an anniversary edition of the story) LEAVES OFF the final chapter of the story. In the FULL version, the final chapter is where Alex REFORMS from the criminal life of his adolescence. Without that character development, it DOES appear that violence is being "glorified" in Kubrick's film.
@emdotambient
@emdotambient 3 жыл бұрын
@@atlasisshrugging Yeah ... I actually thought the final chapter was really kind of a cop-out. I didn't buy it at all. It felt like a tacked-on ending to redeem the otherwise totally despicable anit-hero, and yet nothing really happened to reform him other than he got a little older. Kubrick's version, IMO, emphasizes the dark sarcastic comedy and social commentary. It's not glorifying the violence, it's showing how corrupt society is totally agnostic toward violence. Alex's evil nature is at first exploited to push an equally ugly method of forcing anti-society elements to conform to the system. When that backfires, the powers that be accept Alex into its fold. Is the real evil here Alex and his Droogs, or is it a system/culture that is this amoral? Reforming Alex in the end, again, IMO, makes the story become more about Alex's character evolution when it's so much more poignant when Alex's story is not really the central point, but simply using his story to point a satirical, darkly funny accusing finger at society, government, what have you.

Burgess lived in SE Asia for a while. Sri Lanka, maybe? Anyway, when he sent the manuscript to his editor it was called "A clockwork Orang" as in the Bahasa word meaning "person," (you know, like in "Orang Utan"person of the forest).It makes sense as the government wants to turn Alex into a machine. The editor's ignorance of what the author meant gave us the even crazier "A clockwork orange" which Burgess loved and stuck with.

That’s the rub, isn’t it? Alex is a monster, but he is still a human. The ludovicho technique stole his ability to be fully human. He was evil, but his evil was a choice. The project robbed him of the ability to choose evil, but also to choose good. He was stripped of his free will, his own agency over his life. They even took music that was meant for beauty and turned into something disgusting and vile. What was done to Alex was worse than his own crimes. What they did was a perversion of nature. To take something beautiful and make it ugly, to take something free and make it enslaved, to take something natural and make it unnatural. Like a clockwork orange. 🍊🤖

Plus they not only took away his ability to commit sexual assault and violence, which is arguably a good thing, but also the ability to defend himself against anything.

The clips to hold the eye lids open are a real thing, and I've had it done to me during an experiment. Freshman year at college we had to sign up for 10 hours of psych experiments for a class. One of the sessions involved this instrument and nobody had signed up yet, so I went for it. Just like in the movie the had the clips on the eye lids but they were not that uncomfortable; I'd compare it to wearing contacts. Like in the movie they also gave us eye drops and they'd do so any time we requested it; it did make my eyes really really dry. The reason they kept our eyes open was so they could track where we looked when they showed different images. Uninterestingly the pictures were of mundane things like dorm rooms, pictures of nature; it was pretty disappointing in a way. The good news was since nobody wanted to do this experiment (and they believed it was partly because of this movie, that and it's pretty uncomfortable) the 3 hour session covered all 10 hours of volunteering for experiments I was required to do. And it also made for a kind of strange story.

Just my two cents, but there are lots of take aways one can have from this movie. Mine is this: We are given Alex and shown how terrible he is. To the point where we say to ourselves, nothing it too awful for him to suffer. He earned it. Then slowly, we start to have sympathy for him as the authorities experiment on him. We generally regret what happens to him, especially since he is "cured." My take away is that there are different types of evil, and some (an evil government) are worse than others.

Probably a damning testament about me but I didn't change my opinion and would be quite happy for instigators of violence to be treated like this. However on a more karmic level I appreciate the existential idea that there is no good without bad so evil is just something we have to live with. This idea seems reasonable - until you're the victim. I'm guessing the questions the story poses and gives no answers to are ones that mankind will have to deal with forever.

@@TTM9691 I would have seen it in Ann Arbor, Michigan, so it would have been a knowledgeable crowd, since we had 6 or 8 film societies on the campus of the University of Michigan that regularly showed films in campus auditoriums (even the Engineering Dept. had a professor who taught film classes). I would have been sitting in my regular seating area, centered to the screen and about midway back or a little closer. I never bought anything at the concession stand (poor student and too many films a week). Kubrick would have had a following due to Strangelove, which would have been shown somewhere on campus each year, however, Clockwork Orange would have cemented his reputation, coming after the very commercial and successful 2001. Personally, I didn't really take notice of Kubrick until Clockwork and saw his range with Barry Lyndon. My brother is a Kubrick guy, but I was actually somewhat unimpressed with The Shining. I was more interested in the films of Francois Truffaut and the French New Wave, Frederico Fellini and Italian Neorealists, silent films, and anything Japanese, especially the films of Kurosawa and Ozu.

Alex is criminally insane. The first part of the movie is showing you how his mind works, which is very different from the "norm". He views life through a distorted prism. The treatment is rendering him incapable of acting on his dysfunctional "wiring". To me, the most terrifying moment is when Alex realizes that he's going to lose his love for Beethoven as part of his "cure". They took the one thing in his life that was good and pure, and destroyed it.

It is alex's movie, alex is the main character in his own film where he shares his perspective and shares his warped worldview and encourages us to go along for the ride. so when I watch something like antichrist or the human centipede all they do is turn my stomach.

Its been tried many times afterwards but not many films invite you successfully in to the joys of being a gleeful psychopath and see the world from their point of view. That, and of course the bleakness of the ending. There is no 'good answer' when it comes to alex. He may be 'cured', but he's going to go back to torturing other people whilst getting subsidized by the state because it is politically expedient. Yet even if he hadn't had the 'treatment', he would have gone through prison and learned to be an even more successful psychopath. And I suppose you could have killed alex and his like, but that way lies a tyrannical regime. so no, I think people who look at modern torture film as being 'disturbing' have a limited grasp of what is disturbing. When something is extreme for the sake of being extreme, it just becomes tedious and boring.

How many deranged doctors are out there sewing people together? All these are are unrealistic fantasies - all made simply for shock value with unbelievable premises and manufactured outrage. So when I see these films the unreality of the film undermines any shocking things I see on film. Whereas there are plenty of Alexes out there. And the premise is plausible - in fact multiple would-be droogs basically committed copycat crimes after the film was released. So films like this which have horror reflected in reality always pack more of a punch for me. And ACO is one of the only films like I said which forces you to take the POV of the protagonist monster so it holds a special position.

This was Anthony Burgess' dystopian view of the future. He also wrote a rebuttal to George Orwell's 1984 called 1985. I believe he regretted writing the book after the film came out. Kubrick's film was banned in many places. Alex was meant to be the embodiment of a sick society but a lot of people viewed the film as glorifying violence and there was some copycat crime as a result of the film. Kubrick himself killed the distribution of the film in Britain when he learned of the copycat violence.

Alex is irredeemable and quite evil, an absolute horrible person. However, what is done to him isn't actual change for the better, he is still who he is throughout the film. Taking away free choice and forcing change through torture or coercion is what the book is about. Kubrick is actually doing a bit more with the film than what is in the book, but the overall message is still there. We actually see things like this today in social media, people canceling others and calling for people to be fired, and even calling for and committing violence, to force change on people they disagree with. It's a hard film to watch, but the overall message is worth seeing. Not to mention the cinematography and overall film is well done.

This one is definitely a weird take for the first time watching. It takes a few times to watch and more of the story to realize how great of a master piece this movie is.

I thought they did great, I've never seen them so energized and dazzled, I think they totally got it and their comments about Kubrick at the end obviously show that this one "sealed the deal", and the realization that each movie of his was completely different, and a total experience was palpable. They TOTALLY realized what a great masterpiece this movie is, and I think they realized that pretty early in the video! Like..right away! How is this a "weird take" for the first time watching it?

This is one of my all time favorites, as is the book. Beyond all the stylized violence it is an examination of the idea of ' institutionalized violence' (the prison system) and the role of the state versus the individual as far as violence and the possibility of redemption is concerned. The final chapter of the book pretty much ties Burgess' notions together on the subject, but Kubrick opted not to use that part in the film as he thought American audiences wouldn't appreciate it, or would look at it as a cop-out ending. This film is beautiful for so many reasons.

@@toooydoeur What can I say? As with most Kubrick, the more often I watch it, the funnier it gets. At this point, 2001 is a laugh riot (Zero Gravity Toilet instructions? A bushbaby? "Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult"? Space helmet? Is that what they call it? "Rather" difficult? it damn near kills him). Your milage may vary, but the black humor is there if you look for it and more so in A Clockwork Orange than in 2001.

Now you need to watch what many consider to be Kubric's masterpiece, "Doctor Strangelove, or How I Learned to Love the Bomb" (yes, that's the full title). A Kubrick movie can be a life changing experience. I know I felt like I'd never really see the world the same way after a few of them.

I can't imagine watching "A clockwork orange" without first reading the book(which is much worse). Also, the Nadsat language ( a mixture of Russian, Yiddish and cockney Rhyming slang) made up by Anthony Burgess would be very difficult to follow without the glossary. The funny thing is much of the language is now used in English slang. You picked up very quickly on the dystopian society. I know it's crazy. imagine watching it in 1971 when it came out in England the first time. I was 15. The movie will grow on you. Good job

@24:57 your expressions and comment kinda sums it all up really XD A couple of comments about the is film: During Alex's Ludovico Technique/Brain washing procedure Malcolm McDowell actually had one of his corena's sliced during filming. The actor who plays Alex's father is Philip Stone who also starred in Kubrick's The Shining playing the Butler Delbert Grady, he also plays a character in another Kubrick film Barry Lyndon which is my favorite Kubrick film. Also the actor who played the body builder is actually David Prowse who played Darth Vader in Star Wars.

I've always viewed A Clockwork Orange as something out of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona universe. Suddenly it all made sense 😄 Btw, dunno if true, but I recall that Malcolm McDowell freaked out for real during the experiment; his eyes dries out and the whole scene was a really unpleasant experience for him (understandable) and he REALLY wanted to get out of that chair.

It was banned in a couple of cities in the UK when it premiered and also in a couple of countries (South Africa, Brazil and Argentina). The censorship in the UK was not done by the British board of film censorship but instead by local politicians. Later on in 1973 Kubrick himself decided to take the film out of circulation in Britain and it was not shown in Britain up until his death in 1999. It was then released in cinemas in Britain in 2000. It was available everywhere else since its release like any other movie.

I think because it was so controversial when it came out, I wanted to see it even more. When I finally got to see it, I thought, “this isn’t that bad” - because it was so surreal and the scenes framed so exquisitely. Of course, it perverted “singing in the rain” for so many!

Anthony Burgess's title is inspired by the Cockney expression "queer as a clockwork orange" ("queer" meaning "strange" or "unusual"). Both the novel and the film imply that wild oranges, like Alex himself, are living things that should be allowed to grow in natural and unpredictable ways. By contrast, the Ludovico technique involves an attempt to reduce the natural complexity of a living, organic "orange" into a mindless and mechanized "clockwork" object.
