A Clockwork Orange - Book vs. Movie

[@josephbevel9721]

The copy i read had a glossary at the end. I did not realise that i struggled reading that book. Once i finished it i saw the glossary.

The last chapter is actually more depressing if you think about it. He's grown up, but he talks about how all kids will go through the violent phase he did, and that it will never end. Especially without the kind of intervention they did on him.

A Clockwork Orange was published the same time The Rolling Stones formed. Their manager used to write notes on the backs of their albums in Burgess's slang. The suits didn't know what it meant and always removed the notes on second printings. Ten years later sci-fi author Ken Bulmer wrote a series of books using a second language much like the Burgess-created Nadsat.

The reason you prefer the Kubrick version is the same thing that draws me. I appreciate both and have been a long time fan of both. The movie however shows an unquenchable evil, that it submerged into every part of his being and they can not separate Alex from who he is, a diabolical criminal, that went through their "treatment" and came out the other side, a villain who relishes his villainy. And you can take that from someone who has always called themselves AlexDimm.

Very popular book when I was at school. Even the semi-literate yobbos would read it (due to all the sex and violence of course) but, as Burgess pointed out, they also got a basic course in the Russian language at the same time.

Hello Mr. Adam Wright! I remember renting a VHS copy of "A Clockwork Orange" many, many years algo because it is a cult movie, like many of Kubrick's and I enjoyed it and was also shocked, so to say, for the depiction of the violence by the main character and his gang. Anyway, I think it is a great movie. As for the book, I haven't read it but I regard the movie Is a good adaptation of the novel, judging for your comments on this video. Keep on the good reviews and greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽👍
