A Clockwork Orange is a science fiction film by Stanley Kubrick based on the book by Anthony Burgess about Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell), a charismatic renegade teenager who roams the streets of a futuristic urban setting with his friends, whom he calls his "droogs," and together they carry out their hobbies of beating and raping innocent victims and listening to classical music, with a special emphasis on Ludwig van Beethoven Under the influence of drugged milk, they commit their violent crimes across London with little to no consequences, despite the fact that probation officer Mr. Deltoid (Aubrey Morris) has been after Alex for some time. After an upset in group politics, the other boys leave Alex to be found after the police after they beat a woman whose home they have invaded, and he is sentenced to 14 years in prison for her murder. He reduces his sentence by volunteering for the Ludovico technique, an aversion therapy to cure criminals, the conditioning for which involves watching video footage of violence while taking drugs that induce sickness- unfortunately, its accompanied by the music of Beethoven, formerly Alex's favorite. When he is released, he is proved to indeed be cured, but the chaplain asserts that Alex no longer has any free will. When he arrives home, he is rejected in every way, and his cure proves to need a cure of its own. A Clockwork Orange comments on psychiatry practices and social and economic subjects in Britian. The film is narrated by Alex in Nadsat, a secret language that is a hybrid of Slavic, English, and Cockney slang.MORE[EDIT]
