    Hey everyone. You might notice this videos a bit more censored than our last version. Unfortunately we got age restricted on that so had to go back through it and blur a lot of things. Unfortunately RUclips doesn’t tell you what specifically was causing issues so we just covered a lot of things to be safe. Hopefully it doesn’t hurt your enjoyment of it. Thanks, Paul.

    Watching this movie was the first time I was able to laugh again after my wife died. It was during the scene when reformed alex has returned to the old man's house and the old man finally realizes who alex actually is after hearing him singing in the tub. Alex thinks he still doesn't know who he is but he does, and he asks the old man what happened to his wife and without missing a beat he shouts 'SHE'S DEAD!'. Lol I laugh now thinking about it, and picture myself using this same cadence when people ask me about this sensitive topic. We were together 25 years and I truly love her, I guess my humor has turned kind of dark in the wake of death and facing death myself.

      The songs probably more accurately about being sad when life gets you down, what to do when life gives you lemons and all that. Strongly resonating the themes of the film. I hate when actors claim they came up with an idea, it always just seems like nonesense that comes out during an interview to me.

We got bored one day and decided to hike the Turnagin Arm from Anchorage to Kenai, on the way, we were picked up by a dude who offered to let us crash at his place. We sat under the stars and had drinks and it was a memorable night. Later on, we watched A Clockwork Orange and I was so freaked out and blown awat by this film. It really messed with my head, in a good way.

    I can remember this being the 2nd ever DVD I bought, when the ban was lifted and it was finally available. I think I was about 17, around 1999ish. I haven't checked or googled the release just going by memory. By that point we'd had Natural Born Killers etc and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. With age, maturity and more viewings, I did come to appreciate it for the classic piece of cinema it is. Love it, and the book. ❤

    I always wondered what happened to (I think) Pete (the 4th gang member). When they raid the house he's the one who runs off to loot things while the other 3 torture the couple and he never took an active role in the rebellions against Alex either. I think he was the smart one of the group who took advantage of what the gang had to offer without really indulging in the worst of it (maybe I missed something though) and once the gang broke up he just went on to be successful in some other way, probably a politician.

    "The experiments that make him into a machine" is a perfect analogy for how the world turns us from mostly naturally caring creatures to singularly focused on wealth power and self preservation. Ive always loved clockwork orange. It really takes a special person to be able to unravel it. I also think the milk is a more simple analogy for cocain. But obviously they can't call it what it really is.

    Thanks for including this brilliant film. I read The singing in the rain audio was improvised by Malcolm McDowell, but Kubrick liked it, got permission to use it and left it in. I never read the book, but heard that his ‘conversion’ actually worked and he carried on to lead a perfectly ‘normal’ life. Very influential film, as well. Even though it’s difficult to watch, have seen it multiple times.

      Spielberg took over the movie Ai from Kubrick, at Kubrick’s request, including the final scenes in the future with the advanced alien like robot race that evolved. People always assumed Spielberg added that in himself, but it was part of Kubrick’s vision. Everybody assumed Spielberg wanted a happy ending and tacked that on. I’m not sure why we feel the need to crap all over one great director to build another one up.

    I've forgotten theatre. Plato was greek and theatre was roman and during Shakespeare's time, so that one lasted a long time. Oh, and comic books too, I'm pretty sure I have heard that get blamed. Maybe nothing has really changed much in 2500 years? Only the mediums themselves have changed.

    I’d always known I was named after the main character. (My dad saw the film at the cinema and is a huge fan of the film and Kubrick. Let me tell you, when I finally saw a (still banned) copy when I was 16, I had some concerns for my dad’s mental health over his name choice. Great viddy as always.

    It used to be a movie everyone had seen. I had some friends who went to a costume party dressed like Alex and his gang. Everything was perfect. Nobody at the costume party had seen or even heard of the movie so when they won best group costume they just called them the "white underwear boys"

    Excellent breakdown and analysis. One small detail that nobody seems to mention is that the writer greatly resembles Beethoven. Knowing Kubrick's attention to detail and love of hidden symbolism, I can't believe this was a coincidence.

    Side thing, but a lot of the settings in this film still look modern to us today so it still hits the same way (well, us living in the "old world" I suppose are regularly amongst older buildings all the time). A lot of that brutalist architecture and the japanese garden etc. were made to look futuristic at the time (fairly obviously to be honest just pointing out for the bigger picture) and still do because we moved away from that architecturally (not so much with that Japanese style, it iterates and refreshes very often still, that place in the UK is probably older now than half the similar looking buildings in Japan itself!). The interior design though stylised are also on-trend at the time which was to look exaggeratedly futuristic so it just lands so well today even though Kubrick couldn't have forseen it much, fashion too but that was known to be a fad and played upon.

    You don't mention the language of the book itself. I read only a bit of it, but it was brilliant and groundbreaking. Heard a bit of an audio recording (Audible). Don't know who the narrator was, but that was great, too.
    My point is that, as WRITING, the language of the book is UTTERLY GROUNDBREAKING and, by definition, hugely inventive.
    I always admire people who, like Shakespeare, simply make up the words that are needed, if they don't exist yet.
    You could argue that the film's depiction of the breakdown of society (kind of like Scorcese's "Taxi Driver"), or a society harboring big pools and pockets of chaos, is reflected in the breakdown of language itself, resulting in the gibberish that our Narrator, Alex, speaks.
    The language? Violent gibberish. And yet...intoxicating, kind of enchanting, kind of seductive... It has an internal consistency.
