The whole film is full of sex and violence. No wonder it was positioned as an x-level at the beginning, and then it became an r-level after the deletion.

The facial expressions of the characters under Kubrick’s lens are very eye-catching and fascinating

Both right and evil, exaggerated colors and makeup

I have to mention the director’s handling of the background music of the film, the lens and the music are tightly connected and not procrastinated, and there are several classic applications.

Regarding the subject, some film critics said that absolute good and evil are both painful. I personally believe that the so-called good and evil are imposed on individuals by social discourses, and their meanings and standards are absolute, leading to an absolute binary opposition. , Just like reason is admired to the extreme, an invisible violence is formed. The meaning of good and evil is also written by words, and those who do not obey it will be expelled from the country.

Even if the male lead is released from prison, isn't the whole world an invisible imprisonment for him?

A Clockwork Orange quotes

  • Frank Alexander: [hears knocking on the door] Who on Earth could that be?

    Julian: I'll see who it is.

    [goes to the front door]

    Julian: Yes, what is it?

    Alex: [barely audible] Help... please... help... help.

    Julian: [opens the door and Alex collapses at the doorway. He carries Alex into the house] Frank, I think this young man needs some help.

    Frank Alexander: [surprised by Alex's poor condition] My God! What happened to you, my boy?

    Alex: [voice-over] And would you believe it, o my brothers and only friends. There was your faithful narrator being held helpless, like a babe in arms, and suddenly realizing where he was and why home on the gate had looked so familiar, but I knew I was safe. For in those care-free days, I and my so-called droogies wore our maskies, which were like real horror-show disguises.

    Alex: [nervous] Police... ghastly horrible police... they beat me up, sir.

    [sees Frank has a foul look on his face, apparently not believing him]

    Alex: The police beat me up, sir.

    Frank Alexander: [excited] I know you!

    [pauses]

    Frank Alexander: Isn't it your picture in the newspapers? Didn't I see you on the video this morning? Are you not the poor victim of this horrible new technique?

    Alex: [relieved] Yes, sir! That's exactly who I am and what I am, sir. A victim, sir!

    Frank Alexander: Then, by God, you've been sent here by providence! Tortured in prison, then thrown out to be tortured by the police. My heart goes out to you, poor, poor boy. Oh, you are not the first to come here in distress. The police are fond of bringing their victims to the outskirts of this village. But it is providential that you, who are also another kind of victim should come here.

    Frank Alexander: [finally remembering Alex's state] Oh, but you're cold and shivering. Julian, draw a bath for this young man.

    Julian: Certainly, Frank.

    Alex: [as he is being carried off by Julian] Thank you very much, sir. God bless you, sir.

  • Alex: Hey dad, there's a strange fella sittin' on the sofa munchy-wunching lomticks of toast.

    Dad: That's Joe. He lives here now. The lodger, that's what he is. He rents your room.
