The novel also highlights options modern society has to deal with the tragedy of delinquent youth: "...how to turn a man into a piece of clockwork..." (ie, this [theme] is specifically from the novel.) Thus, it is possiblely still obscure that one of the options to deal with this issue (violence theme) is behaviour modification (Professor B.F. Skinner, et al). This 'behaviour therapy' connotation is also clear in the motion-picture. This approach (options) is more than just a remedy to something that is more than just moral panic: violent anti-social behaviour. Sociology dislikes this approach to social ills because 'there is no free-will' (Skinner). Apparently, the novel was inspired by some horrible real life events.
This was a great scene. Lot's of changing emotions at once for Alex. First, smugness. Then angry retaliation. Then fear and panic. Then finally back to his normal baseline. It was even better in the book.

Nah, it is just intimidation. Get into someone's personal space, make them uncomfortable. There can be a sense of sexual dominance involved but it not a 'lust' thing. Just think what happens in prisons! It is a power thing.
Notice how politely they speak to each other "sir" "brother" "gentlemen," and in complete sentences. Even in brutality and death the British mind their manners.
The smile he gives to the principal when he spits on him pretty much says it all about their relationship. Alex used him just as much as the principal used him. Then the cycle repeats at the end of the movie.
I don't know. I think it was all a bit gay - look 0:40, pure sex. You get a few men in a dirty brick room with the faint von of cal and they all want to go at it.
"It's no good sitting there in hope, my little brothers, I won't say one single solitary слово unless I have my lawyer here. I know the law, you bastards."
Knowing what a perfectionist S. Kubrick was I wonder how many times McDowell had to get spat on until Kubrick felt he had just the right shot. It is rumored that Kubrick died 865 times until he felt the doctors performance was believable.
1:58 is anyone gonna talk about this dynamic brilliant shot by Kubrick? It really begins to give you not just a sense of ‘being’ Alex but also this sense of claustrophobia and intensity of being in that position like if you were in it yourself. It takes a genius be ahead on that and pull it off cleverly. Damn.
It's a very interesting short scene, laden with imagery and meaning, viz: 1.Police officers and Alex. One sitting like Michaelangelo's bored cherub. Alex's crotch in foreground. 2.Fed up handsome police interrogator chewing gum, wondering what to try next. 3. Intimidatory posture of handsome police interrogator right next to Alex, smiling. Alex smiling back. Sneering contempt from both men. 4. Violence from interrogator. Alex retaliates. Violence by second officer. 5. Outside office policeman supping tea. English 'civilised' life goes on as normal. Fawning welcome to Mr Deltoid who affects a more 'upper class educated' accent to impress the officers. 6.Alex on floor covered in his own blood on white clothes. Christ on cross? Homoerotic image. Alex's crotch in foreground again. 7. Three police officers and Mr Deltoid standing over Alex, sneering at him. 8. Deltoid kneels down, sneering and smiling. Homosexual vibe. Handsome police officer snuggles next to Mr Deltoid to sneer at Alex. More gay vibe. 9. Deltoid spits at Alex. Alex smiles, knowingly.
The symbol of Mr Deltoid's spit is incredible. After he tried to sexually assault Alex in the bedroom scene, the spit symbolises both his 'climax' of seeing his prediction of Alex's fall come true, and of saying "I'm done with you. You were only ever a pawn, a tool to be used". Striking.

@@GuzziHeroV50 haha interesting! I've read the book too but never really picked up on these little details. Guess it was just implied and left open for interpretations
It's hard to believe Malcolm McDowell went all the way from a killer in a clockwork Orange to playing the good Doctor Loomis in Rob zombie's Halloween films.
Most British actors get their start in the stage theatre and generally a lot of the older plays like Shakespeare's have the roles breaking the fourth wall, hence Aubrey Morris being from the Old Vic had no problems mugging the camera
Love the camera angles. Also, the older man that Alex is afraid of in other scenes. He's great. While disturbing the movie has a campy quality to it. The Alex character is done so well by Malcolm McDowell. He was so cute in his younger days, too. I wasn't allowed to see this movie when it came out by my mother. Not that I would ever have seen it then, lol. I was too young. That and the Exorcist so you know which movies I couldn't wait to see later on. I think she was right about both although both were great, but definitely not for kids.
i love how he just smiles at the other officers for a second at 1:20 acting as if he is doing nothing wrong while trying to crush a mans testicles...best movie ever
I bet cops all over the world , both still on the job and retired, recognize that look the seated detective is giving Alex in the beginning of the scene.
Kubrick originally wanted to cast Mick Jagger in the role, but Jagger turned it down. He got lucky when he found Malcolm McDowell, he's utterly brilliant.
I love that pop sound that was used for when Alex gets clocked by the 2nd cop. Leaves you feeling really satisfied that he connected a solid one right on his chin
Another funny part that no one caught: The blood on the wall and floor wasn't there at first, Alex most likely added that so the ones walking in the room would feel bad for him.
Scale is the most pivotal aspect in the sequence - the notion of these ‘superiors’ towering above a beaten Alex conveys his insecure persona in his act of resilience
This scene causes me serious pain. Like, I can't even watch the hole thing. *shivers* Also, theory; the officer (I dunno his name, read the book quite a while ago) acted quite a lot like Mr. Deltoid near the beginning of the film. Now, I subscribe to the theory that Alex was sexually abused by Deltoid and possible 1 or more of his parents, so Alex may have felt very threatened in this situation, having experience physical contact like this leading to something unpleasant. So he lashed out as a way to protect himself. ... Or he could just be a cheeky lil shit. I guess we'll never know for sure. :D
Geovanny Gonzalez I left this comment 5 years ago, I’ve since read the book a few times, and you’re totally right. I’ve done some research and sexual abuse is pretty heavily suggested in the movie, though, which is pretty interesting imo.

It wasn't in the movie, but I read that the police took all of Alex's money and sold all of his belongings, and gave it all to the cat lady's cats. Nice to know they were well taken care of.
man..that loogey to the face..cinematically was awesome and had so much more meaning than any punch to the face or gut would do...I think it gave new meaning to "demoralizing someone"...this movie frikn rules...Kubricks best work here and The Shining...
The cop who grabs Alex's nose is actor Steven Berkoff, who would go on to play the villain in "Octopussy" and "Beverly Hills Cop," as well as Adolf Hitler in the "War and Remembrance" tv miniseries.
Yep same here, I only realize it when watching an episode of The Avengers (John Steed) and he basically looked the same without the sideburns and the credits said "Steven Berkoff" basically when he still had a full set of hair his forehead mold was less pronounced since people seem to be inherently less trained on minor details of the forehead and more on the hair,
was about to say the same thing.... but to me i don't think they look alike maybe somewhat similar but enough to know it isn't the same or to even get them mixed up if you'd have saw both of them side by side.
John Doe especially since he ratted his accomplices out. At least maybe a reduced sentence, makes send to try and put 3 behinds bars instead of only one.
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok 14 years was his sentence. I understand that's the standard time for accidental homicide in the UK (I might be wrong and I'm any case this dystopian version of the UK might have different laws). Alex spent two years of his sentence in jail and had the rest of it commuted when he received the Ludovico treatment.
I think the most disturbing thing about this scene was the fact that the detective or whatever was so happy that the woman died, so that they could punish him as a murderer.......
He wasn’t happy. He was blind with cold fury. His laughing was a reaction to the utter contempt and hate he feels inside him for Alex. And I think he was his teacher.
"You are now a murderer little Alex. A murderer." One of the best lines in the movie.

The cop who grabs Alex's nose is actor Steven Berkoff, who would go on to play the villain in "Octopussy" and "Beverly Hills Cop," as well as Adolf Hitler in the "War and Remembrance" tv miniseries.
Also the main villain in Rambo 2 and the duellist lord Ludd in Barry Lyndon
I love the way Deltoid has a wonky eye.
When malcom McDowell was young he was so handsome like my dream man right there
Great 2D pic👍 M O O N C H I L D huh... a King Crimson reference perhaps?
This may be the most British film ever made
Directed by a guy from the Bronx.
Yeeess? Some very extreeeeeme naustiness, yeess?
Before Quicksilver met Charles Xavier and the other mutants..
Kathi Ma strange of he looks like him and how good he acts like him in season 6
Fun fact: the guy that presses on Alex's broken nose is King Olaf on the show Vikings.
And the psychotic General Orlov in 007, Steven Berkoff
He was also the main antagonist in rambo 2.
It was great fun to watch this movie in the 70's.
who the fuck is evan peters
An actor from An American Horror Story television series. He's pretty good
Sweet little Alex....
0:38 I never would've guessed that that's the same actor who played Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop.
Yep same here, I only realize it when watching an episode of The Avengers (John Steed) and he basically looked the same without the sideburns and the credits said "Steven Berkoff" basically when he still had a full set of hair his forehead mold was less pronounced since people seem to be inherently less trained on minor details of the forehead and more on the hair,
I love Alex's smile, looks alot like Evan Peters O_o
+Roxanna RZ thinking the same !
+Roxanna RZ thinking the same !
was about to say the same thing.... but to me i don't think they look alike maybe somewhat similar but enough to know it isn't the same or to even get them mixed up if you'd have saw both of them side by side.
Kubrick for all his talents was also such a master of casting
2:56 XD That face!
hahahahahaha xd
Really good camera work and dialogue here. Helps emphasize Kubrick's intentions right.
Evan Peters looks like him so much 0:47
hahaha Yehaaa
OMG..!! isss fucking TRUE
I thought the same thing!
Not just there.
Şeyda Ledger I knew someone had to say it lol
Malcolm McDowell genius actor
@jeffsdolphin The actor who played Deltoid ran out of spittle, so Steven Berkoff eagerly jumped in and started gobbing on Malcolm.
0:39 so COL. Podovsky dealt with Alex DeLarge before dealing with John Rambo.
"violence makes violence" AND PUNISHMENT MAKES PUNISHMENT
looking submissve and breedable, alex-boy. keep it up
@Bare Knuckle oooooo you want me so bad
"They forced me to do it!" LOL, under today's legal system, Alex probably would've been acquitted
John Doe especially since he ratted his accomplices out. At least maybe a reduced sentence, makes send to try and put 3 behinds bars instead of only one.
@@ashkechum101 14 years for murder and theft IS a reduced sentence.
@@Vesnicie no in most circumstances thats pretty normal
@@Vesnicie Was 14 years his sentence, or just what he served before they applied that mind control experiment?
@@JohnDoe-gk7ok 14 years was his sentence. I understand that's the standard time for accidental homicide in the UK (I might be wrong and I'm any case this dystopian version of the UK might have different laws). Alex spent two years of his sentence in jail and had the rest of it commuted when he received the Ludovico treatment.
Dude in the mac, played the role of punch/ Landlord in the original The Wicker Man
So Heath Ledger was inspired by Alex in this movie when he acted as the joker... :3 just thought y'all would like to know that :3
I LOVE ALEX SO FUCKING MUCH HE IS SO PRECIOUS
That's what he wants everyone to think.
SAME HES JUST A BIT SILLY🤭
It’s giving serial killer fan girl
Mr Mcdowell really Challenge authority and rebels against his arresters who try to intimidate him and put an end to his pride!!!
"don't mind us, we'll hold him dog" YEAH, LIKE A DOG
Hold him DOWN
Malcolm McDowell is a Master
I think the most disturbing thing about this scene was the fact that the detective or whatever was so happy that the woman died, so that they could punish him as a murderer.......
He wasn’t happy. He was blind with cold fury. His laughing was a reaction to the utter contempt and hate he feels inside him for Alex. And I think he was his teacher.
@@mosspally6995 He's his father
Those paper towels are like sandpaper.
This movie is a clockwork of art.
No good sitting there in hope, my little brothers
After he gets spit on it's like his mask comes off...you can see murder in those eyes.
