Posta B D-sturbing

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 1999)

Art and Language shape the people. Or that at least seems to be the theme of the Burgess book, as far as I was able to read it. And in the background of the Moloko Milk Bar we have the language of the 70's in psychedelic script listing the plusses in Moloko+ (psylocybin, mescaline, LSD...) It's no surprise then that Alec's antagonists are the drunken wino and the wine sipping liberal. Well well well me droogie. The 'orrorshow seems to somehow feel 'orrible. What a concept. And here I thought rape and murder were supposed to be titillating and amusing. Nothing is real.... To put it in historical perspective, the same year saw a film by Sam Peckinpah - Straw Dogs. Both show a society grown used to horror, and the effect on the populace. And what do we do about it? Brainwashing? Fight horror with horror? Kill them all and let god sort out the guilty?
