Read the book as well!!
For those who already commented on the DVD who hadn't read the book or perhaps those who have no idea about the last chapter in the book... The book was released with in Europe with 21 chapters like the author intended.. yet released in America with only 20 due to the idea that Americans would see the last chapter as too "happily ever after"... Unfortunately for this- Kubrick based the movie on the American version of the book therefore leaving out a great aspect of the story which detailed as Alex finding his place in the world and realizing a new maturity in which violence was no longer needed in his life. So though the movie did prove to be a great attempt at a very amazing yet difficult piece of liturature.. it didn't seem to justify the book. Of course.. how many books can you read where you must interpret every other word.
