Is this a battle of evil and evil?

alex is evil what's even scarier is he didn't realize he was evil the cop was evil maybe yes i don't know he changed a person's mind this is not right but let a person who doesn't realize he is doing evil continue Evil is even scarier.

I start to reconsider the order of the world. Maybe what the police do is wrong, but a lot of things are relative. Yes, but I don't think it's wrong. The scariest kind of people in

this world are those who do evil without knowing it , and they can't even repent.

Another kind of person is stupid. It's scary to let other people's ideas without their own thinking.

I understand the relativity more deeply.


I haven't read the ending and the ending is not important to me anymore. What matters is the process, what I saw in the process, and what I thought.


Many things are relative and too relative.

    [A] I don't think anyone else in the world can capture the evil, dirt, and deep darkness of human nature with such an artistic beauty beyond the mundane like Kubrick. Also, this movie is no longer a science fiction fable, this is the "stupid thing" that is happening.

    A work criticizing the "new behaviorism" popular in American psychology in the 40s and 60s of the last century, Kubrick used the fictional Ludovico technology as a symbol of new behaviorism, emphasizing that it will become the most dangerous weapon in a totalitarian country. The government controls the people through scientific and technological means, turning people into a "clockwork orange" of organic outside, mechanical inside. PS: Read BF Skinner's "Beyond Freedom and Dignity" with this film.

  • [Alex has just struck Dim on the legs]

    Dim: What did you do that for?

    Alex: For being a bastard with no manners, and not a dook of an idea how to comport yourself public-wise, O my brother.

    Dim: I don't like you should do what you done, and I'm not your brother no more and wouldn't want to be.

    Alex: Watch that. Do watch that, O Dim, if to continue to be on live thou dost wish.

    Dim: Yarbles! Great bolshy yarblockos to you. I'll meet you with chain or nozh or britva anytime, not having you aiming tolchocks at me reasonless. Well, it stands to reason I won't have it.

    Alex: A nozh scrap any time you say.

    Dim: Doobidoob. A bit tired, maybe. Best not to say more. Bedways is rightways now, so best we go homeways and get a bit of spatchka. Right, right?

  • [listening to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony]

    Alex: Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!
