I have read a lot of commentaries, they all introduce the plot blindly, and explain the title first without considering the cultural background of the Chinese readers. So my comment only reproduces the explanation of the title. Clockwork is the clockwork of the clock, a device that allows the clock to run accurately, so if it walks (runs) as accurate as a clockwork, it means "the machine is working well" or "things are going in an orderly manner." There is also a similar word clockwork orange (a clockwork orange), which old Londoners use as a metaphor, always used to describe strange things. "He is as queer as a clockwork orange" means that he is beyond strange. Clockwork orange—organic on the outside, mechanical on the inside , is it orange on the outside ? Mechanical clockwork inside. The meaning of the film is that after receiving aversion therapy, the hero's virtues are not manifested autonomously, but are just a clockwork with a mechanical core and an orange appearance.

    The first batch of banned films when I first received the DVD, the 1971 release now is still shocking, and the amount of information is quite large. Replaying Beethoven and Song in the Rain in the soundtrack, fast-moving sex and violent slow-moving, the ultra-modern setting and easter eggs are more impressive. Malcolm’s interpretation of good and evil is similar to each other from the front and rear appearances, which also proves all the possibilities of the individual, and the more harmful is obviously the various thoughts that are constantly instilled in your brain. As a result, we are completely cured. Museum Library God Film Exhibition.

    Alex: There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
