I think that we're brought in by Alex's charm and humour and do eventually root for him in some way. I think that's part of the point that even though we see him do horrific things, we're still kind of on his side. I always find that one of the most genius things in the book/film that we can see him attack and rape people yet soon enough he has us laughing or hoping he doesn't get hurt. This also highlights the terrible nature of the experiments done on Alex as we still find them reprehensible yet we can grow to like a murderer/rapist.

Kubrick goes to great pains to suggest that Alex is a product of his environment - a child that has grown up in a violent society and has therefore become violent. I think we're supposed to feel sympathy for him, in that we, too, would be as violent if we had been raised in the same way. I don't think feeling sympathy for him necessarily means excusing his behaviour.

By the end of the movie he has become a obedient robot that society has shaped him to be stripped him of all freewill becoming docile and a shell of his previous self.

It's a rather uncomfortable topic, and i find it ironic that he's a popular choice when Halloween comes round that many people cosplay as him. He's a popular character due to being excellently written, complex, interesting, and superbly portrayed by Malcolm McDowell.

I'm interested to see what KTT thinks of Alex 🤔

Someone move to TV/Film @Drogon_ be drunk as a mfer

You KNOW Blockwork Orange is a name of a mixtape somewhere on Datpiff

Either that or Brickwork Orange

my thoughts exactly mfers would be cosplaying outside of their housing blocking with glasses of milk and canes

I think he’s super swaggy

I hate the ending where he’s getting hoed by everybody

End of Transmission

After those controversial experimentation i bet he got one hell of a bag and sued the police (former gang members) who punk'd on him.

og book ending is unrealistic asf

Y’all was rooting for Alex

mfers were rooting for heath ledger and joaquin

definitely rushed but i like that it's less nihilistic

OJ Da Juiceman somewhere punching the air for not thinking of this

Kino sxn been fiening for this thread

@Elric been lurking like this some undisocveed basement tapes leak

Music

been asking for a film/tv sxn emigration for a minute b

Came here to say that this would be a fire title for a mixtape O Blockwork Orange

who's a legimate mod who can form this move into fruition?

never seen the movie, only read the book while in rehab

I do know the ending is different than the movie and I genuinely believed he deserves a chance at redemption

I think that we're brought in by Uzi's charm and humour and do eventually root for him in some way. I think that's part of the point that even though we see him do horrific things, we're still kind of on his side. I always find that one of the most genius things in his journey is that we can see him attack and throw phones at people yet soon enough he has us laughing or hoping he gets a text back from Britney. This also highlights the terrible nature of the experiments done on Uzi as we still find them reprehensible yet we can grow to like an alleged abuser.

I found this movie hard to follow because of the dialogue, I had no idea what they were saying half the time. Had to look up the commentary that the movie was making after I finished it The rape scenes went too far for me, they were difficult to watch. I would not recommend this movie to any women I know, they'd think I'm a weirdo because of those scenes

Great atmosphere and mood though, the camera work is crazy. Found myself getting lost in the colors and backgrounds. And the actor was stellar, could immediately see Heath Ledger got inspiration for his Joker from that role

“Or hoping he gets a text back from Britney”

Breh be like Eternal Awake on some tier as Ivan's Childhood

227 what else
