Why I Loved 'A Clockwork Orange', by Anthony Burgess

A review of A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess The confessions of a 15-year old delinquent, Burgess' controversial horror/ social prophecy/ study of human choice. Reviewed by: Guy Brandon About Guy Brandon "A Clockwork Orange" is Burgess' most original and infamous novel, and deserves to be read alongside such classics as 1984 and Brave New World. Set in a bleak futuristic dystopia, it is the first-person account of 15-year old Alex's delinquent excesses, for which he is eventually apprehended and punished. Imprisoned for his horrible crimes, Alex is offered reprieve if he will submit to an experimental new technique designed to deprogram him of his criminal tendencies. He agrees, but without fully realising the implications of the treatment. The book contains material that many readers will find offensive and disturbing. It has, however, been widely misunderstood, especially after Kubrick's film adaptation (the film itself was banned by Kubrick after stories in the British press linked it to "copycat" killings. It was unavailable throughout most of the 70's, 80's and 90's, eventually being reissued after his death). Not simply a lurid horror novel, it is a penetrating analysis of human nature, our choices between good and evil, and what it means to have free will. No one character in the book is entirely good or bad, only human.

Review: A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange A Film Review by James Berardinelli United Kingdom, 1971 Running Length: 2:17 MPAA Classification: R (Sex, nudity, violence, rape) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1 Cast: Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Warren Clarke, James Marcus, Aubrey Morris, Godfrey Quigley, Michael Bates Director: Stanley Kubrick Producer: Stanley Kubrick Screenplay: Stanley Kubrick based on the novel by Anthony Burgess Cinematography: John Alcott Music: Walter Carlos U. S. Distributor: Warner Brothers Throughout his 50-year career, and especially in his great films, director Stanley Kubrick had a penchant for taking the novels of others and re-shaping them to fit his own vision. Of the 16 movies Kubrick directed (including his final feature, Eyes Wide Shut ), the film maker was credited with script involvement in 12 of them. For that reason, 2001 is not referred to as "Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 " but as "Stanley Kubrick's 2001." Dr. Strangelove is "Kubrick's Strangelove " not Peter George's. The motion picture version of The Shining owes a greater debt to the director than to author Stephen King. Similarly, the driving force behind A Clockwork Orange was more Kubrick than novelist Anthony Burgess. One of the first things that will strike anyone watching A Clockwork Orange today is how thoroughly modern it looks. If not for the presence of the youthful face of established thespian Malcolm McDowell, one could be forgiven the assumption that the movie was made far more recently than 1971.
