Woah. Just woah. What a ride. I can’t believe I can finally say I’ve seen A Clockwork Orange, and I won’t be forgetting it any time soon, if ever, that’s for sure! A crazy, confronting, and aggressively artistic work of art. Thank you for watching it with me. Reaction highlights on YouTube next Monday November 22nd! 🖤

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971) - Full Watch Along

A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian crime film written, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick. It is based on Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel. The film employs disturbing and violent themes to comment on psychiatry, juvenile delinquency, youth gangs, and broader social, political, and economic issues in a dystopian near-future Britain. Alex (Malcolm McDowell), the central character, is a charismatic, anti-social delinquent whose interests include classical music (especially that of Beethoven), and committing "ultra-violence". He leads a small gang of thugs, Pete (Michael Tarn), Georgie (James Marcus), and Dim (Warren Clarke), whom he calls his droogs (from the Russian word друг, which is "friend", "buddy").

Comments

"Clockwork Orange" comes from an old English slang expression: "As queer as Clockwork Orange" (before the word "queer" became what it is today), basically something or someone very strange or peculiar. "If he can only perform good or only perform evil, then he is a clockwork orange—meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with colour and juice but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil." -- Anthony Burgess
