@@redbaron1001 I don’t think you understood what he was saying, he knows Kubrick made it but when a young Tarantino saw this in the theatres it inspired him to become a director
That's why I love his character so much. The way he looks at art and the world around him is bizarre but so intelligent. While I may not agree with his actions I can find an appreciation in how he views art and the world.
A clockwork orange shows us horrible things in a very theatrical poetic artistic way, such a brilliant portrait of a sociopath , Kubrick’s work is untouchable.
It is supposed that Alex is a sociopath; he's charming, well spoken and somewhat classy. A fascinating character. All the congrats on Kubrick, McDowell, and Burgess (I haven't read the book tho)
While I can't choose between which is my favourite ending, the film's or the novel's, it's kind of disappointing how Pete doesn't even have any lines. It makes me wish Kubrick had added the final chapter to the film.
In the novel, Pete mostly plays along as the droogs indulge their taste for ultraviolence. That would explain he just simply goes along with the leader rather than pick sides.
In the book, after Alex gives Georgie and Dim their lumps, he turns to him, and goes, "Yes, Pete?". And Pete tells him, "Look what you done...Dim's dying!", which Alex brushes off.
Everything is perfectly orchestrated, almost like a kind of wicked ballet. The way the droog falls into the water, the way Alex unsheathes his blade from behind, the way the music is one with the images. Amazing. So insanely satisfying. Without a doubt one of the most powerful scenes to ever been put on film.
Hi guys, I'm bad bad billy and you are invited to hear my songs. Like Apache Ghost Blues where I wail like a banshee, is very good. Or if you like my symphonies I wrote hear devils trombones and angle oboes
It's an extremely small yet remarkable detail to notice, knowing Kubrick's passion for details too I'm wondering if he wasn't suggesting for those who had read the book that Alex and Pete will have the same destiny while Dim and Gorgie are somewhat equally evil
My favourite film of all time. I went to see it 6 times when it was first released back in the very early 1970's. Then it got banned and had to wait several decades to get to watch this Kubrick masterpiece again.
***** Trying to use semantics to backtrack on what was unarguable an idiotic generalisation isn't doing you any favours Erwin. And if you had ever lived here you'd know that no one on this island has ever referred to us as 'Brits'. Use whatever words you like but Clarissa was correct, you're either a horrible racist or a 12 year old troll. I suspect the latter, but it makes no odds really, either way. You say you hate me and that's fine: we don't really care what you think of us, we don't think of you at all.
Knurdyob He appears in the last chapter of the book as a changed man. He's settled down and that inspires Alex to do the same and give up his criminal lifestyle.
SolarDragon007 well that would totally fuck up the whole movie wouldn't it? I'm glad Kubrick didn't put that on the film, the movie is much more about how society is as bad as the crimes it tries to hide, that would make the movie about what's morally correct, and it's just not as interesting, not by a long shot in my opinion
It still has those messages but the book adds to it. The film is about teen boys being violent and immediately satisfying lust. In the last chapter he bored with being in a gang and wants a wife and family. He did not intend to become good, he just naturally grew up. The film is about growing up and it also shows that the state did not need to give him the treatment. The film is great but you forget the fact that he is 15 because Mcdowall looks about 30 and the girls in the film are just 10 in the book.
darke pankakes Old pete actually becomes a straight citizen, a good guy. In the book, he actually persuades Alex to genuinely change his evil ways once the ludovico treatment was reversed.
Sawdust Caesar . I like Tarantino but he is no Kubrick . Film is an art form . Were as Tarantino does good films that I like. You never get the Charactor development and intimacy of story telling that Kubrick did. He's on a whole other level .
@REED NAT Yeah I should have specified "typical comedy". That scene where he's strapped to a chair with the eye clamps, screaming and demanding an answer to why his mind has to be twisted towards being averse to the music of Ludwig van lol. What a rib tickling bit of radosty that was to viddy.
When all is said and done, You must commend Alex on his unorthodox but effective managerial style. He's tough but he's fair. buying drinks afterwards shows that he cares for his underlings.
Herr Oberst Wilhelm Von Borchert Yep, and they thanked him with a bottle of milk and got him 2 years free rent and "health-care." Then they went and got good jobs and gave him a nice shampoo and massage.
"As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time..." This is one of the best quotes in the movie / book which not only demonstrates the true nature of Alex, but presents psychopathy as a type of pathological intelligence. Anthony Burgess had tremendous insight when he wrote this book.
@@jamesanthony5681 I thought it was an amazingly creepy movie . I should try to read the book again . I failed as a 16 year old , my sister had the book . But that was 50 years ago . It was a similar scenario with The Shining , Stephen King wasn't happy with Kubrick. I read the book and saw that movie and they were both scary . The book more so .
@@jackfishcampbell6745 I remember Burgess saying (around 1980 or so) that Kubrick misrepresented his book and its message, also that Kubrick was a boring director, citing Space Odyssey as an example. I saw Clockwork in the theater but can't remember whether I stayed to the end.
I saw this in ’72 when it was released here in the UK. I was aged 14 at the time and it had a big impact on me. Not in any negative sense as I had no subsequent desire to emulate either the attitudes or violence displayed in the film - but there were a few around in my area who did. I loved the style and the music and a year or so later, bought the soundtrack on LP, which I still have.
Anyone catch the flub in this scene? When Dim flies past Alex as he's heading towards the water, his boot brushes past Alex's thigh and leaves a huge, black scuff mark. But in the very next scene as Alex leaps up, it's gone. I'm really surprised something that blatant could get passed the neurotic perfectionism of Stanley Kubrick.
What I love about Kubrick is his ability to blend fine art into entertainment i.e the slow motion movement, ballet like fighting, the music, seamless camera work. This clip could be sent to Classical Arts Showcase.
1:17 to 1:19 is pure cinematography heaven. The lighting, the camera panning action, the graininess of the film, the film speed, you name it. The most profound 3 seconds ever put on film, period.
Something so unexpected like getting hit in the balls, followed by getting kicked into a lake, then getting cut on the hand, then drowning in a lake, is something you would only see Stanley Kubrick do.
1:20 Georgie is falling in the water. His hat doesn't appear to fall off. 1:27 Georgie's hat is still on. 1:43 Georgie's hat is off. 2:01 Now it's back on again.
"Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and what I had wanted to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off for ever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep forever, and ever and ever."
Kubrick often made deliberate continuity errors. Notice the water when they walk along? Very Choppy, a reflection of Alex's disturbed state over his 'droogs'. Once he hits Georgie the water is calmer. When Georgie and Dim enter the drink the surface of the water is still and calm. Once again reflecting Alex's mind, quite clear about what he had done. No regrets.
This can be observed throughout this film. When it was aesthetic vs. continuity Kubrick choosed aesthetic. Note the lighting in the scene where they're fighting against Billy's gang: Totally inconsistent and looking perfectly. Only Kubrick could dare this.
As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time - Now it was to be Georgie the general, saying what we should do and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless greeding bulldog. But suddenly, I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones, and that the oomny ones use like, inspiration and what Bog sends. Now it was lovely music that came into my aid. There was a window open with the stereo on, and I viddied right at once what to do.
This was a very strange novel for kubrick to adapt , Kubrick was a stange individual and its stands out in CLOCKWORK more than any of his other works besides eyes wide shut. An absolute marvel of filmaking
Wasn't really a fan of this film at first. I just thought it was weird as hell. Took me a few years to understand it. I had the same experience with Blade Runner.
@@SheepofChrist818 This is a pivotal moment in a fantastic movie based on an amazing book. The movement of droogs toward the viewer in the soulless futuristic setting, the sneering voiceover, and then the shock of Alex's attack on his rebellious droogs is pure Shakespearean drama, steeped in menace and premeditated malice. All beautifully choreographed in slow motion to the tune of Rossini, like ballet. Alex's gleeful wielding of the knife adds that extra twist of evil as he reasserts his supremacy. The other droogs get a taste of their own ultra violence, but this bloody coup by Alex will return to haunt him later in the movie when the humiliated exact their revenge... It's genius, bringing together the verbal might of Burgess and the visual power of Kubrick.
@@PandaBoy-zi2hg He isn't even wrong though, people go "you're trying too hard" in response yet fail to offer any form of alternative or even dispute lmao

Read the novel by Anthony Burgess. Alex was the only one who had a cane like that. Everyone knew it the other gangs and they were afraid of Alex. They knew under the right circumstances he would use it. The novel also explains why there were only four or five in a gang and how and why they dressed the way they did.
I watched this movie way too young, Alex was someone I looked up to vehemently. Cunning, cultured, cruel, rebellious, but as I get older I realize how psychotic I truly was for admiring such a charming demon of a character.
You know it is a perfect movie when no one dares to remake it. I use to think Blade Runner was a perfect movie and Legend with Tim Curry as the Devil but there are plans to remake them...so far, no one even presumes to remake Clockwork.
Carolyn Reese Well, there is a remake of Psycho wich is often considered a perfect movie (the original version). Honestly, I hope Clockwork Orange never gets remade. The film has a lot of personality and I can't imagine another actor as Alex. Malcom is the man.
So many people find this movie so violent. A look into the nature of a humanity that is most of the time hidden. The "How Could You," of pretty faces, tearful eyes, a passport stalled. The "She is Awful, I dont want them here," the sound of spoiled brats, time to buy the vitamins. The voices muttering sarcasm and judgement in passive aggressive tones create a feeling of anger in some. Those are all upsetting things. Considering though that throughout time, history shows that humanity tends to follow faith that physically beats their humanity to death. Why are people surprised at their nature? Why are people surprised when angels appear? Why is it so difficult to look at eyes that are covered? Apologies for my appearance, people won't always see me. I bought a pretty instrument.
Turns out people don’t like it much when you do this in real life.

2:01 Now it's back on again.
good eye
Yeah Alex in A Clockwork Orange is definitely Eric Cartman all grown uo
Nah, Stewie Griffin all grown up.
its a cult classic nothing like it has ever been done before
What about Shrek 6?
or after
00:54 Alex even predicted the #BogPill
Thank God because it sucked.
Nor will anything be made like it again.
"Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and what I had wanted to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off for ever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep forever, and ever and ever."
extremeparche Yes, the wicked, cruel world full of killers and rapists :D
Jordan Bestte Have you watched the film ?
viddied - "saw" in russian
Warren Clarke is so convincing, his expressions sell this scene so well.
0:29 I will never forget watching this for Movie and scene the first time and then 2 weeks later they mimicked this on South Park. 😂
First reaction to getting a cut on your hand? Jump back into the putrid waters!
Just ended up Dim get his cuts being infected in a salty and fishy water.
the water is fine, they do sailing there, i fell into it as a toddler. its filmed at Thamesmead in south east london near Abbey Wood
Kubrick often made deliberate continuity errors. Notice the water when they walk along? Very Choppy, a reflection of Alex's disturbed state over his 'droogs'. Once he hits Georgie the water is calmer. When Georgie and Dim enter the drink the surface of the water is still and calm. Once again reflecting Alex's mind, quite clear about what he had done. No regrets.
Notice at 4:44 Georgie's hat is gone then when it cuts back to dim it's back on
And at 2:25 dims boot scraped Alex's knee leaving a black mark then when alex jumps the mark is gone
This can be observed throughout this film. When it was aesthetic vs. continuity Kubrick choosed aesthetic. Note the lighting in the scene where they're fighting against Billy's gang: Totally inconsistent and looking perfectly. Only Kubrick could dare this.
@@_lactoseintolerant5589 That just means he put it back on
@@DavidLopez-tj7jl ah..
As we walked along the flatblock marina, I was calm on the outside, but thinking all the time - Now it was to be Georgie the general, saying what we should do and what not to do, and Dim as his mindless greeding bulldog. But suddenly, I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones, and that the oomny ones use like, inspiration and what Bog sends. Now it was lovely music that came into my aid. There was a window open with the stereo on, and I viddied right at once what to do.
One of the best scenes in cinema ever made. Kubrick really knew what the hell he was doing.
Rossini : "la gazza ladra" Ouverture.
thanks a lot my kind sir, you made my day.. night or anyway, thank you!!

i'm delarge and in charge!
Deserves more likes.
1:30 i just can`t explain but the music and the simultaneous jump always make me replay it
Still probably my fave Kubrick film. Saw it first time in a cinema many years ago & was blown away!
1:31 gives me chills everytime man
yes
This was a very strange novel for kubrick to adapt , Kubrick was a stange individual and its stands out in CLOCKWORK more than any of his other works besides eyes wide shut. An absolute marvel of filmaking
Malcolm McDowell was a stone cold fox! 😍 Still a nice looking older man.
As a film maker myself, I have a clear view on this Kubrick masterpiece: Best feature film EVER made. Full stop.
1:19 So satisfying to watch lol
I like the dialogue
STANLEY KUBRICK ........WAS........ WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME !!!
I wish, but movies today lack this talent even less...
Work of Art
I totally! agree ! I was thinking that
He’s still ahead of our time
Wasn't really a fan of this film at first. I just thought it was weird as hell. Took me a few years to understand it. I had the same experience with Blade Runner.
Every time I watch this scene I am struck by how beautiful the music is
This scene still gives chills man, so good.
The shot of them walking by the water is possibly my favorite shot ever.
'bit of the old moloko plus ey?
"Tell oos more, Georgie-boy, tell oos more!"
' A real leader knows when to like show generous to his unders!!'
This would sharpen you up and get you ready for a bit of the old....Ultra Violence!
This is and will always be hilarious, brilliant and classic.
They look all tough and all until you fall under the mercy of London water with a flesh wound.
One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. Pure genius.
@@SheepofChrist818 This is a pivotal moment in a fantastic movie based on an amazing book. The movement of droogs toward the viewer in the soulless futuristic setting, the sneering voiceover, and then the shock of Alex's attack on his rebellious droogs is pure Shakespearean drama, steeped in menace and premeditated malice. All beautifully choreographed in slow motion to the tune of Rossini, like ballet. Alex's gleeful wielding of the knife adds that extra twist of evil as he reasserts his supremacy. The other droogs get a taste of their own ultra violence, but this bloody coup by Alex will return to haunt him later in the movie when the humiliated exact their revenge... It's genius, bringing together the verbal might of Burgess and the visual power of Kubrick.
Bruh chill

He isn't even wrong though, people go "you're trying too hard" in response yet fail to offer any form of alternative or even dispute lmao
Fun fact: according to the novel this movie takes place in 1995
Waaaah 😮
I love how it’s just told like a Shakespearean play with it’s odd world and slang, I never even used to notice that Alex isn’t “actually” their leader
That's better than the violence in the scene in my opinion
me and me mates were having a sailing lesson just across Thamesmead lake when they were filming this...by chance we had discovered the book months earlier but had no idea what was being filmed...being a young teen when the film came out..seeing the scene on the silver screen..what with the fads at the time in London..post skinhead...and check my name...oooh mate it all was gonna go tits up 👉🇬🇧👈⚡⚡
@@eddieswirl7266 When it 1st went up it had high level walkways...it really was ..erm? "modern"...that all fell apart when the crime rate (art imitating [human] nature) went through the roof👜
Such a Powerful Poetic film.... visionary as hell, Kubrick we miss you....

One of the greatest movies of all time.
Betrayal will not be tolerated.
EVERYONE Betrays!!
Read the novel by Anthony Burgess. Alex was the only one who had a cane like that. Everyone knew it the other gangs and they were afraid of Alex. They knew under the right circumstances he would use it. The novel also explains why there were only four or five in a gang and how and why they dressed the way they did.
i fell in Flat Block Marina too (Southmere Lake in Thamesmead), in the early 80s, i was a toddler, threw bread for the ducks and fell into the lake.
This has to be one of the best movie scenes ever, at least for me, the narration, the acting it is all so awesome
Oh my god, the perfection in every single frame.
Alex is lethal in the art droog-jitsu.
Fortunate enough to see this on the big screen during AMC's Summer Classics Tour in 2013.
I watched this movie way too young, Alex was someone I looked up to vehemently. Cunning, cultured, cruel, rebellious, but as I get older I realize how psychotic I truly was for admiring such a charming demon of a character.
one of the greatest scenes of movie history
“Eggywegs!”
I saw this as a kid and that’s the main thing I remember it was so funny when he said that
I would like to....SMASH EM
@@robp4655 Eggy wegs.
This film and "The Shining" are two masterpieces!! 😎👌🏻
You know it is a perfect movie when no one dares to remake it.
I use to think Blade Runner was a perfect movie and Legend with Tim Curry as the Devil but there are plans to remake them...so far, no one even presumes to remake Clockwork.
Carolyn Reese Well, there is a remake of Psycho wich is often considered a perfect movie (the original version). Honestly, I hope Clockwork Orange never gets remade. The film has a lot of personality and I can't imagine another actor as Alex. Malcom is the man.
I had a friend from England who went to rent this movie in 1990. The sharp girl working there said "I remember when this was considered violent".
Space Jam approved.
So many people find this movie so violent.
A look into the nature of a humanity that is most of the time hidden.
The "How Could You," of pretty faces, tearful eyes, a passport stalled.
The "She is Awful, I dont want them here," the sound of spoiled brats, time to buy the vitamins.
The voices muttering sarcasm and judgement in passive aggressive tones create a feeling of anger in some.
Those are all upsetting things.
Considering though that throughout time, history shows that humanity tends to follow faith that physically beats their humanity to death.
Why are people surprised at their nature?
Why are people surprised when angels appear?
Why is it so difficult to look at eyes that are covered?
Apologies for my appearance, people won't always see me.
I bought a pretty instrument.

This is seriously one of the greatest sequences ever put to film
One of the greatest films of all time.
Kubrick was a mad genius.
Not close to being one of the greatest. Not even Kubrick's best.
@@jamesanthony5681 this. half of kubrick films was just abstraction and nonsense
How considerate of Alex to kick Georgie into the lake so he can cool off his abused balls.
01:30 it's me or he looks like an angry hamster
Looks more like willy Wonka from the 2005 version
