Clockwork Orange (video)

There are so many clips of this movie, but few are available for embedding. When you eliminate all of those that are too raunchy to be shown to a polite audience, there aren't many left. This was one, and it is still not very nice. It is quite an experience to watch this film.

It interested me in terms of the idea of brainwashing. Mind control. That is the main idea of the movie. Does a man have a free will, or is he just a product of his environment? In this movie, Alex's very nature is made into the very opposite of what he was previously. It was in an effort to reform him from his antisocial ways.

The film raises other questions that may be food for thought. For if man can be manipulated thusly, how can there be any notions of religion? This question is also raised in the film. For the basis of religion is choice. If there is no choice, there can be no evil. For evil requires the power to choose between good and evil. If no choice can be made, how can there be any morality?




Thanks for coming by and have a great evening. If that's possible.
