A Clockwork Orange

a clockwork orange is a book and movie with many different levels. the most obvious level is the theme of violence and ‘ultra-violence’. a bunch of droogs get-off and take joy in terrorizing others. on that level it is an extreme example to those that do not feel self-empowered. this makes it a cult cl-ssic. on other levels it is also about learning self-constraint and how we alienate others by selfishly fulfilling our own needs before those of others, and on yet another level, it shows how being short sighted and trying to race to the end of a learning process can actually completely defeat the process. the story clearly shows that ‘law’ tries to subvert its criminals via brainwashing, but if someone doesn’t learn to change for themselves, then you are only just holding them prisoner.

it is a book/movie i highly recommend for the -n-lytical types. there are many levels to it and although there are some scenes that may disturb the faint-of-heart, it is worth it for the rest of the movie.
the movie a clockwork orange gives deep insight into those of us that feel alienated and yet self-empowered. it reinforces the feeling that i may do as i please, without regard to the repercussions. thankfully i don’t actually want to rape people.
