faithful to the original

For works that are faithful to the original, there is actually nothing to watch. The first time I watched "The Godfather", because I had just read the book, as a result, I could follow every line without any suspense, and it was boring to watch.
This movie is about the same. To be honest, although I feel pretty good about several of Kubrick's other films, this one doesn't feel anything special, all the themes are from the novel, even though Kubrick tries hard to make the excessive Realism is a little surreal, but still not enough.
The place that performs better is
1. The decoration of the bar (or the milk bar).
2. Sex with two girls in music.
3. Finally, after returning to normal, the strange smile revealed.

Especially the last one.
In the novel, there is surrender at the end, but in the movie, there is a rebirth of evil at the end, and the meaning is different. From this point of view, the movie is better and a little more desperate.

    I insisted on 2/3 and gave up later. Self-narration constitutes an overall ironic structure. Within it, the subjective point of view of the stream of consciousness pursues the unity of the audience. However, due to the extreme nature of the subject’s behavior, the audience will not empathize with it, which compulsorily creates a split internally. Identity forms a suspense, disagreement constitutes a new irony. In addition to the mutual deconstruction of the two tensions, the internal irony and the overall irony are compounded into a double irony, and the story is declared to be over.

    For Alex’s behavior modification treatment, many people think of Yang Yongxin, the king of thunder and lightning, and I think of Moniz, who won the Norbert Medical Award for inventing [prefrontal lobectomy] in 1949, because this operation is as described in the movie. The method is as cruel and inhumane, and it has become an extremely important stain in the history of the Nobel Prize. [Free will] is sacred and inviolable. If the most basic choice of moral behavior is artificially interfered, it will really become a walking dead. The great god Kubrick actually spent only 2.2 million US dollars to shoot this classic work that has a profound impact on future generations. Not only does it discuss profound themes, but also criticizes the extreme right and left in the film, and it is impartial. Since then he has created [Kubrick Gaze]. The lens language has been imitated by later generations, and the anti-social personality who loves to drink milk is also common in other works, especially the fusion of violent pornographic scenes and classic symphonic music. It is not uncommon after the film. "William Tell Overture" is not known how many times it has been used. It seems that the pervert killer does not listen to a symphony as if it is not perverted enough, which greatly enhances the ritual sense of the plot.

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.
