What Was the Point of it All?

Rating: 5/10 (11 April 2019)

Alright. So a hyper-violent, hyper-sexed teenage boy is the leader of an equally violent gang. One of their capers goes to far--coupled with a betrayal--and Alex (Malcolm McDowell) finds himself in prison on a 14 year bid.
Alex, and his ilk, strike fear into common British folk. He's young, indiscriminately violent, and idle. Prison seems to be the only place for him until scientists figure out a way to "cure" the social misfit.
My biggest issue with the movie was my inability to understand a lot of what was being said. Between the thick British accents and the British manner of speaking I was straining to comprehend. I understood the overall gist of the movie which was wrought with boob shots, yelling, and violence but what was the point of it all? Which was the second issue I had with the film.
What was the point of it all? I get most movies, even the more abstract ones, but this is the second Kubrick film I was flummoxed by (the first being A Space Odyssey). He uses a lot of imagery and music and I'm sure that there is a purpose for everything but I'm not afraid to say that I didn't get it.
