to say that the alex character from stanley kubrick a clockwork orange be unlikable be like say the manson family be sort of bad . he not just unlikable while he despicable and terrify and sick and twisted and and ultimately a haunting embodiment of all our great realistic fear and worry . but alex do not see himself a a sick person . the key to this be in his voice over narrative . alex do not see himself a a pervert and just a we do not see our own flaw and ramond babbitt do not see his own autism . to u and we be all normal and which be a scary thought . a clockwork orange and which be originally release in 1973 after an appeal for an r rating ( that be grant after originally be tag a an x rat motion picture ) and have be ban from britain for close to thirty year . most film fan in europe will tell you that they have see the movie on grainy bootleg videotape year ago when they be young and curious . but for those of u lucky enough to enjoy ( or squirm through ) a clockwork orange in it entire odd splendor and it be an experience you be likely to never forget . it character and it style and it subject matter and it explicit material all of it combine to create a marvelous whole that will stay with you long after the credit stop roll . essentially a tale focus on alex journey in jail and his process of be re submit to the world after inhumane treatment to cure the evil out of him and a clockwork orange be indeed as offbeat a it title . all tale of redemption involve character that we gradually come to appreciate and or like and or at the very least learn to tolerate . not a clockwork orange . our narrator remain the same throughout the movie and always an incarnation of everything wrong in today modern world . he go through no cleansing process and by the end of the film we like him less than we do at the beginning . that dare .
