Many people may not understand why the film has such a funny name. At the beginning, I didn't know what "A Clockwork Orange" was? After consulting a lot of information, I finally realized that it was actually a small British toy, similar to a mechanical frog that was wound up and jumped around when I was a child.
Why is there such a weird name? After thinking, I finally feel a real sense of the meaning, chilling real sense
we are "A Clockwork Orange", on the instinct of spring, according to the most primitive reflex, mechanical movement with small disputes, to some In a sense, we are the same as the dog in Paplov’s conditioned reflex. Whether it’s the impulse of youth and the bestiality, or the use of politics, it’s a simple act like a clockwork toy. The established trajectory runs, human nature is like this.
Can be freely modified, can be arbitrarily applied, human divine glory nothing
we are a dog, or a clockwork toy, instinct, stimulus, operations, reflection, and then filled with sex and violence.
Fortunately, Paplov’s theory cannot explain everything. Otherwise, what will we become?

    People are gods and demons. Animals are not good. Animals are only good and monsters.

    The scale is much larger than I thought, and I didn't expect it to be such a movie at all. Such ideas are not clever nowadays, and many of them have been demonstrated in reality. Of course, what I want to say is that too much is too late. The film is too extreme, and it can also be said that there is a sense of fragmentation of either good or bad. The aversion therapy for violent behavior, I remember it seems to be used now, using Papulov’s conditioned reflex (I don’t think this is a problem, after all, it can be eliminated with desensitization therapy). Western liberalism is obviously not feasible in society. The construction of a civilized society requires institutions and constraints. Discussing human nature is often just a mess. Everyone always has a different view from their own perspective, but they belong to the same human nature. No one is right or wrong. This shows the greatness of the doctrine of the mean, which may suppress some uniqueness and detachment, but it is beneficial to the overall interests.

A Clockwork Orange quotes

  • Alex: Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.

  • [first lines]

    Alex: There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
