My favourite scene in the whole film is the one where the government official in feeding Alex, listening to how Alex could benefit from cooperating with them. We can see the wheels spinning as Alex thinks how he can best exploit the situation. It is hysterically funny.
Reading the book is very grim and it lacks any of the dark satire of the film. I don't think Anthony Burgess cared much for the film,especially Kubrick eliminating the last chapter where Alex has acquired a new band of droogies and bumps into one of his old gang members who has married and discarded the slang they spoke. It is interesting that the book was inspired by an incident involving him, his wife, and a group of AWOL American soldiers who attacked them in their home, using the incident in the book. Although Kubrick makes Alex a little more sympathetic, in the novel's conclusion he has become something of an anachronism, probably uncertain how long he can sustain this lifestyle. But in the novel he is much younger than he appears in the film, I believe he's about sixteen. In the film he rejoices in his violent impulses restored in the final seconds, concluding with the voiceover narration: I was cured alright. The ending of the novel is more open ended and thought-provoking. But Kubrick, for all his genius, was seldom subtle with his choice of images, ending his films with an image that challenges the audience and how to feel about It.
I understand what you mean, but having read that last chapter of the book I find myself agreeing more with Kubrick's vision. For one thing, that chapter was pretty brief and the encounter with former droog Pete and his girlfriend gets odder the more I think about it. As if Pete spent all that time running around with Alex raping and violently attacking people and then just decided to get a job and be an ordinary person. And then Alex sees this and thinks "hmmm maybe I'll get a job and be an ordinary person." I think Kubrick is drawing a comparison between Alex's psychopathy and that of the state. The general vibe I get off the ending is that his violent impulses have been restored and that he will have learned how to use the system, rather than simply running amok inside it.
@@JEQvideos Clockwork Orange is tied for my favorite book (next to Catch-22). That said, I still loved the movie. I can understand some complaints about how the book did this or that better than the movie (for example, the fight scenes SUCKED. Had to be some of the worst acting/chorography I've ever seen). However, the ending of the book (in my opinion) was pretty god-awful. I don't know about you, but getting a philosophical explanation for the rest of the book directly shoved down my throat isn't my definition of fun or artistic.
One of the more-subtle things I always enjoyed about this movie is that more than one middle-aged “professional” woman character (at least Alex’s Mother, plus this Doctor) has very colorful hair. Certainly at the time of release, a woman would never have hair styled like that in white collar work - especially not a woman of that age. However: I feel like Kubrick and his staff rightly induced that as the current crop of “young people” moved towards older age, that they’d bring some version of their fashion sensibilities with them.
@@DrakariZargon The closest would be too find some culturally relevant equivalent of cockney or urban gloss for Spanish speakers and create slight variations on the fictional parts of slang. Or something like you say bieni-bien, although a whole British-like way of speaking but in Spanish would have to be constructed for consistency. Social class just figures so much in the way British people talk, and sometimes when Alexander does talk (whether aloud or in his head) he comes off as uneducated, even though we know that, in fact, he is fiercesomely intelligent.
No time for the in and out love
I've just come to read the meter...
Classic
If James May directed a porn film.

1:18 God, that look of shock on her face. It's like the doctors did mess inside his head and she's frightened that Alex figured it out.
Exactly

This scene was filmed in my local hospital in Harlow, princess Alexandra hospital, Arkright ward.

Has the building changed at all during the 70’s? Is the original room still there? I’ve always wanted to know.

She is preety
"Bien, bien" doesn't really capture "rightie, right" which is unfortunate for non-English Spanish speakers.
Yeah there is a lot of things in the dialogue that is lost in translation unfortunately.
there is a version saying : "Bieni-bien" the most near to the meaning.

"Bienie, bien"?

I’ve never understood this movie
I think that means you are extremely sane, this film is a smorgasbord of psychopathy.
*Read the book---the one with the twenty-first chapter. It will clarify everything. And then read the one with the Nadsat glossary at the end.*
