Outright good is as cruel as outright evil

The whole movie lasts for two hours. In fact, I can't really understand the meaning of a Clockwork Orange at the end. In general, this movie is characterized by violence and brainwashing, and it is obviously unspeakable when I watch it. Very depressing. But I think this movie can still be popular because it describes the consequences of the devastation of human nature. The experiment of Aris turned out to be inhumane. The criminals treated in this way will definitely end up living inferiority like Aris. The life of death is simply a crime more despicable than murder. In the future social system, in the process of high-tech development, can people still choose their own behavior according to their own will? Or is it being a "clockwork orange" at the disposal of others without owning its own opinions? In other words, how do people maintain their free will in the social system? "Youth must pass away, yes. And youth is just a deduction of animal habits. No, it's not so much animal habits, but rather small toys sold at street stalls, iron dolls with springs inside and a clockwork outside. The knob, creak, creak tight, and the doll will walk, brothers. But it walks in a straight line, and it bumps into something as it walks. It’s involuntary. It’s just like this small child at a young age. Machine." Absolute good and absolute evil are just as terrible. The mad world compromises with human nature. If we have to pay any price for ignorance, it is to be abandoned and forced back by the world. If the world loses anything in this war, it is truth and humanity.

    If people don't even have the right to choose evil, are they still people?

    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.

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.
