Traumatic experience

Rating: 1/10 (3 May 2015)

Anybody who idolizing Alex in someway or other being incapable to put themselves in the position of the raped and crippled writer's family or murdered "cat lady" is enough to showcase "the cruel reality" of our world we live in (some "message" that these cocky reviewers are deciphering out from the movie itself). If anything this extravaganza of horrific violence and immorality accomplishes is to shedding the light on the fact that people can enjoy them when it is shaped in a form of "art" or "entertainment" or "film" decorated with glorious scores.
The fact that movie naturally allows Alex to get away with all the social harm and damage he had inflicted, not only with paying less price for ending too many innocent lives but even being rewarded good job with good pay at the end, not to mention by getting back to his monstrous corrupted personality is illustrating the sickness of our society. Audience who are marginalizing the significance of the crimes committed by Alex and his crew are reinforcing them. If there is anything "satirical" and "sarcastic", ironically, this would be the core.
Not only suffers from explicit violence, weak character development and dull background settings, this movie also does abysmal job to convey the original message director was attempting to deliver. What are the problems of this "future" society that persuade youth gangs into ultra-violence in the first place? If free-will is a mean to drive youths into rape and murder, why aren't we focused to curing of the social sickness that let evil prevails over good? When Preacher is trying to protect Alex from psychological experiment by shouting "goodness must come from within", isn't it ironic that real Alex, Alex before penitentiary and after the ending, would've enjoyed killing and raping more than anybody else? I understand antagonist of this movie should be the government who, while incapable to medicate this sickness, trying to overcome the disorder with tyrannical approach. But this narrative in mind will leave you bad taste after seeing the ending which implicates government prevailed over the intellectual who apparently tried to use Alex as leftist political ideology. The only funny thing in this movie is anything evil ends up happy with keeping his privilege.
Last but never least I dare you to say this movie will cause unintended lasting effect among ill-informed audience and it will continue forever. After watching that traumatic raping scene, I was sure that this movie is going to affect spoiled youths and potential psychopaths in one way or another - took a look at wikipedia, and boom, it was right. Let me make a quick quote: "In March 1972, during the trial of a fourteen-year- old male accused of the manslaughter of a classmate, the prosecutor referred to A Clockwork Orange, suggesting that the film had a macabre relevance to the case. The film was also linked to the murder of an elderly vagrant by a 16-year-old boy in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, who pleaded guilty after telling police that friends had told him of the film "and the beating up of an old boy like this one."" It's also disgusting enough that some audience even marginalize the significance of violence and crime committed by Alex.
