↑This is an evaluation of Anthony Burgess' original work "A Clockwork Orange":
Sexual trade and misogyny are commonplace in the world of burgess, and the female body is just a "commodity passed on between brothers."
↑It is still an evaluation of the novel: There are no real female characters in "A Clockwork Orange", and the things that are spoken are just the catalyst for the story of Phallocentrism (peniscentrism).
↑Description of Kubrick's movie "A Clockwork Orange": In the movie, the character of the catwoman who lives in the ancient house is changed to be younger than the novel, and her appearance becomes "Weird Yoga "Action", surrounded by penis and sexual ornaments, this induces the audience to think that the victim deserves it, and she is anxious to be raped.
↑It is still this picture, to the effect that Kubrick defended his movie with the violence of the original, but the movie deliberately set up elements that make women more erotic: the woman who was raped by the gang at the beginning was only ten years old in the novel , And neither undressed nor developed breasts. In the movie, however, they are deliberately replaced by mature women, which is more in line with the norms of "sexually mature" and "ideal" women in the public's mind. Then, Catwoman’s age was reduced, and then she was put on pornographic meaning, which made the audience feel that she was lewd, so that her way of death would be somewhat "deadless". These are all film arrangements, so Kubrick's defense is not convincing.
↑In the movie, the objectification of the female body is covered by layers of sugar-coated cannonballs, making women ignore it, and even romanticize it, which is accompanied by the fantasy of sexual violence.
↑The picture above is about the situation in which women as humans are directly omitted in this story. This allows women to remain silent and not to regard their body as a valuable person, but only as an aesthetic object.
The above examples all involve the female body, mainly to promote the development of the male narrative, but the novel "A Clockwork Orange" does not ignore the fact that rape is destructive. But Kubrick and the others make this point sexy and romantic, and then dispel this destructiveness.
The above are the main points of the article. The work of this post is only a rough handling and translation. Just for discussion.
