Burgess literally predicted the future with clockwork orange, it’s a book (or film) based in a ‘not so distant’ future, here’s what I see that correlated to our present.
1. The biggest thing now, parents don’t discipline their kids and let them get up to whatever bullshit they want. Many parents now refuse to teach their kids what they do is bad, just like Alex’s parents, thus surging youth violence and I live in the UK and the youth here are disrespectful, ungrateful and very selfish the exact same as the youth in the book.
2. Innocent things being defiled, milk used as a vessel for drugs in the book mirrors today, where people use fruity flavours in vapes with THC in them, also in modern day newer and newer drugs coming out and wrecking the youth. There’s also the sexualisation of many ordinary or innocent things nowadays like nuns, school uniforms etc.
3. Underfunded police and prisons, I don’t know if it’s like this everywhere, but in the uk the prisons and overflowing, the police are understaffed (sort of underfunded) and a vast amount of criminals get away.
4. Increase in rape in non-traditional ways. WARNING this one is kind of a stretch and I feel like it’s increased but you might think otherwise. Alex is shown to constantly rape people just ‘for the sake of raping them’ and causing them to suffer, he doesn’t really enjoy the sex itself as the violence is what’s turning him on. And when Billyboy and Dim rape Alex when he gets out of prison too relating to increase of male on male rape. This correlates with large increase in rape fetish and domination.

I could think of so many more but these are the main ones I see from my day to day.

i have the same problem

Hello, I just finished Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange and the book I have has some extra stuff, including an epilogue that was published in 1987 titles A Malenky Govoreet about the Molodoy. I’ve never seen Kubrick’s film because I wanted to read the novel first. This epilogue came out a while after the movie, and I believe it mentions some stuff about the movie (like Alex’s last name I think) so should I watch the film first before reading this epilogue or just read it? I guess what I’m getting is is this epilogue apart of the actual novel or not?

there’s some address or something on it so that’s why I scribbled something off with red.

I've not been able to dig up any information about the production... I wonder where this was performed, and if the gender swap was well received?

And yes I’ve already watched every Stanley Kubrick film 😰👌

Hey we are making a Roblox group of the droogies from the movie, and at the same time we want to make the koroba milk bar and maybe making a A clockwork Orange Game, we are active and Nice people

Was watching Tony in theatres back in September and thought I saw a poster for a clockwork orange in Anthony’s room. I rewatched the scene at home and lo and behold it was! Just a cool Easter egg I thought I would point out lol

This is an art piece I collaborated with a glass blower as I set it in 925 silver. Thought this would be a place that would appreciate this! Hope you enjoy 💕

Perhaps some will find this interesting.

This is a set of theme and variations I composed for piano based upon the Duke Ellington, Juan Tizol jazz standard “Caravan,” but each variation is representative of something, a place or item or character or event from either the book OR the movie “A Clockwork Orange,” the first three variations, for instance, are titled after the three different milk drinks available at the Korova Milk Bar.

Hope some of you enjoy it. I think Alex might’ve appreciated it.

Yes I know he became a better guy in the book but they were talking abt the movie

The police hats clearly say "E.R" meaning "Elizabeth Regina" referring to Queen Elizabeth II ruling. Since she died in 2022, does that mean the story could take place up until then?

Thoughts?

I was SO happy to have been able to walk along here this week on my trip to London.

Looks a bit ugly with the fences & stuff due to the on-going (and seemingly neverending) renovations, but oh well... it was still awesome to finally see it in real life!
