The orange clockwork will never die!


One of my favourite movies of all times is “The orange clockwork”. When I saw this movie for the first time, I really loved it. Later, for Philosophy (in my senior year) I had to do an essay of this movie and I liked even more. I think that the reason of why I like so much this movie is because the plot and the characters are very special and unique; things like the invented language that Alex and his friends (or droogs , in his language) use, or the violent and inexplicable behaviour of them are very interesting to watch and to analyze. Also, I like this movie because in spite of it was make in 1971, it’s never going to seem old- fashioned.
The main character is Alex, a young man that lives in the UK. He and his three friends always are hanging out, rapping women, beating old men in the streets and breaking in houses. But one day, Alex get arrested and convicted of murder and rape. While in prison, Alex is used for an experimental program in which prisoners are programmed to rejected violence; this program called Ludovico Technique consists in exposes Alex to a sequence of images of naked women, violence, Nazis in the Second World War, etc; at the same time that he listen the Beethoven's 9th symphony (his favourite song). After this, Alex came out of prison and he hates violence, but the rest of his gang members, and his old victims are still after him.
This movie directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on the novel of Anthony Burgess is kind of difficult to label, but the novel was considered as a Science fiction one. Also, the main character, Alex is performs by the English actor Malcom McDowell.
