The attempt to mind control Alex into being good through pain is man playing God. Man cannot do what God can do. Which is why you get the less than idea results of Alex being dehumanized. He is not able to defend himself when attacked. Self defense is a righteous act. Humans as usual cover up there mistakes and attempt to make the same mistakes again. Which is why the ending of the movie. Alex's mind control was with pleasure instead of pain. Only God can create a new heart within a human. Any attempt of man doing this will result is error. Man cannot do what God can do. "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Tyler, you’ve done so many good videos on Kubrick that you should start informally referring to him as “Stan the Man” or “The Kubster”, like he’s an old fraternity buddy.
If someone were to remake _Clockwork_ (please don't), they would most likely say that their version would be "closer to the book", which is the kiss of death (hey, 'Stephen King's The Shining', with Steven Webber!). Clockwork is so completely Kubrick, in that the greatest and most memorable things about it are the unique decisions that Stanley made. Burgess' book is absolutely amazing, and a must-read for any fan of the film, but Kubrick's hand, from art direction, shot selection, visual style, film speed, costuming, and so on, are the things that truly resonate, and the things you would miss from an inevitably inferior attempt to revisit this property.
IIRC, Burgess regarded "A Clockwork Orange" as one of his lesser works. Sure, the book has its charms, droog slang not being the least of them, but it's definitely not the book Burgess wanted to be the most remembered of his works.
I totally agree. The book is superb, and Kubricks film is very faithful to the book. The movie is perfect.kubrick is on top form and Malcolm McDowell owns every scene he is in. Remaking it will be a total pointless exercise that will fall flat. (You can't recreate genius)
I love Kubrick's interpretation as much as any hard core fan. But the book stands on it's own without the film. It is a story that could be reinterpreted by others. The Book is already genius- another interpretation, if done well, would be hardly a pointless exercise.
I often wonder if Napoleon would have been made if he decided not to make a clockwork orange I love Napoleonic history so it would be my favourite automatically
The Power yes but he made a clockwork orange as something to do in between what were supposed to be two massive films 2001 and then Napoleon and then a clockwork orange came out and got a lot of controversy and maybe if he had kept trying to get Napoleon made instead of a clockwork orange someone would studio would have accepted it
No. The film "Waterloo" bombed at the box office, and none of the major studios were in the mood to take another gamble on Napoleon or the Napoleonic wars. Kubrick had planned it as an epic on the scale of "Spartacus" and would have needed a huge budget. Apparently he put the project aside and just never came back to it. Pity.
Kubrick is seriously the most underrated comedy director lol yes, Dr. Strangelove is hilarious, but I find Clockwork, Barry Lyndon and Full Metal Jacket nearly as hilarious.
The Shining is hilarious in places too, thanks to Nicholson's over the top performance as Jack. 'Wendy, give me the bat.....' that whole bit has always make me laugh. I think my favorite is Eyes Wide Shut though. Yes, the film raises all sorts of serious questions about who holds the power in the modern world, but it is also a movie about a guy who can't get laid, even at an orgy!
What kind of brain washing is the ridiculous background music ? Like happy circus type music ? Is it because it’s copyright free ? Terrible. It doesn’t match the video.
Paul Thomas Anderson kinda reminds me of Kubrick with how he uses satire to reel you in a bit, but he also frames his shots very similarly to Kubrick as well.

The Chorus: "Is there any doubt that I have successfully hidden from you all information about what (which) things I dislike, and that this is the only source of my pride?" I'd bet that A Clockwork Orange is a cold war film mourning gambling (after it was made illegal in the Soviet Union [likely decades earlier]). About the chorus (in Greek plays): it's something which keeps track of everything which has unfolded but has no power (cannot punish) and is not the government or the leader in the story it must be there to ensure that being an audience member (audience members need to consensually be audience members) for the whole duration of the story is something which can be done while the audience members are *acting naturally* (so to speak). otherwise it's very weird for them to sit and observe the story (and what the fuck are they supposed to do while watching the play? whisper to each other? such questions can be transcended through the addition of a chorus. it's a very scientific thing because it includes consent) otherwise the audience members will not be able to keep track of the events naturally (their attention spans will be wasted and they won't understand the plot and it's obviously very bold to interrupt the theatre actors to ask them to"rewind").
Great piece of criticsm but I could only watch half as that fucking background music nearly drove me round the bend. Why do you have to patronise us with that row? Is it your equivalent to a spoonful of sugar? So annoying!
6:15 -- I think perhaps you've missed a more obvious interpretation of the name of the book and the film. "Orange" is the opposite colour to Blue, which is often associated with being depressed. LIke Clockwork, they promise to fix Alex and make him Orange instead of Blue.
The film gives us perhaps the scariest ambiguity of all. What if the Ludovico Treatment, once undone, still actually worked? This, in my opinion, is the most cynical perspective of all. That the only way to redeem evil IS to strip its owner of personhood, and then regift them the ability to choose after they’ve been dehumanized. The ending of the film, in contrast to the book, doesn’t tell us whether Alex is a less violent person. But the implication, sexually, is that he is. One could make the argument the treatment worked-that only through the immense suffering the treatment made him endure does he become human. The question then becomes “Does society lose something invaluable by discontinuing the Ludovico Treatment for the sake of good publicity?” A far more harrowing and demented question.
I was editing an episode in a series going on on my channel and this popped up, I clicked soooooo fast, and I was also kinda struck by suprise when I saw this video, because the themes of this movie are very similar to the series I was talking about, and to show that I have put in small references to a clockwork orange in the series to kind of translate the meaning. But I've got to say, great video!
Excellent analysis undermined by requisite inappropriate music sound level in relation to narration, a mystifying and nearly universal trait of TH-cam videos.
All of Kubricks films are comedies, we’re just not quite smart enough as humans to get most of the jokes yet. He made a horror film where one person died.. I mean c’mon.
I'm just discovering your channel, but I wanted to give one critique, where everything else is perfect. Not a fan of game show-style background music during very pertinent information. Your script is always so thoughtful and laid out, that the music distracts from the information being laid out. Love your channel.
Interesting to me, is on page 17 of the book, the old drunken man makes a statement about the state of the world, and how pathetic it’s become with useless of ‘men on the moon,’ and men spinning around at earth orbit. It amuses me, because we did not supposedly get to the moon until 1969. In 1962, when A Clockwork Orange, was published, is obviously well before the launch to, and touch down onto the moon. Yet well before this there were other NASA missions, so it is logical that Burgess had heard the rhetoric of the pursuit of the moon by NASA, and so through that in this slightly futuristic story.
Free will from the perspective of a monotheistic ideology perspective is preposterous. God is all-knowing, has a grand plan that always comes true according to his prophets, and at the same time tells us we have free will. Also, if we don't listen to his rules we burn in hell forever. Yeah, that's supposed to be free will. Give me a f-ing break.
Clockwork orange and shining alway See to me ying and yang both is differnce and similar to each other like both movies are based book both author did not like what kubrick did to there book for diffrence reason with king is lack of faithful and burgess is becouse Well the ending with have diffrence meaning to kubrick movie
8:52 you're wrong about this one, not the WILL to do evil, but the CAPACITY to do evil. We all NEED to have the power and capability to do evil, but the thing that makes us civilized and "men", is that we CHOOSE not to do the evil we're capable of, we rather CHOOSE to do something better. THAT is what makes a human being a human. Not the "will" to do evil, but the "ability", the "option".
Great job. i was looking for more information about the new book you mentioned: "i am jack's axe." Can you provide a link for this? I have been trying to study various perspectives of the film, The Shining for a long time.
With the music choices in this video, it weirdly reminded me of the older, funnier YMS videos, or at least the vibe of those videos. The nostalgia hit hard. Shame he's become so self-important and boring now
Alex is a symbol for humankind. That is why he is never really at odds with his society, which is monstrous. However, I do not think the film is pessimistic. It is full of energy, creativity, humor, & most of all, brilliantly used music.
If you pay close attention to the last shot, you will prove the point you are making. Ok, Alex may be enjoying carnality, but that is a wedding scene we are looking at. It's not the fast forward 3some we seem him involed in earlier, it's a man and his wife enjoying a good ole, healthy shag! Alex wasn't lying or being ironic when he says 'I was cured alright'.
I think Kubrick's films all have opportunistic and sadistic characters. Consider the general in Paths of Glory, Humbert in Lolita, Alex in A Clockwork Orange and of course Barry in Barry Lyndon. There is a lot of irony and satire in the suffering of his characters.
With having read the notorious 21st chapter, Alex becomes good as far as I'm concerned, on his own, he at the point of seeing Pete and his family in the diner, just gets it, like what life is about. At that point Alex abandoned his new droogies and goes off to become a family man. The End! However, watching Kubricks version, I always felt as if Alex returns to his evil self-indulgence and snickers silently at everyone knowing he has beat the system. Alex acts as though he is a good little boy and signs his waver to freedom and then starts a life in politics, gains wealth along the way, becoming a dictator with- Grand Delutions of Grandiose Prosperity gaining a stature greater than any other vile leader in history. And oh yes my brothers viddy well, viddy a horror show of the utmost ultraviolet light ever viddied in Alex's sureal playground of a carnaged plaged Society.... and all that cal.
In prison, when he is talking about the Bible, he mentions that he likes Old Testament more because there was killing and action, and this is one of his fantasies
It does make you wonder what parts of everyday life inspired Kubrick for Clockwork Orange. While the question of how much control over the public's morality the government should have isn't frivolous, the idea of the choice to do wrong being an inherent human right is somewhat original.
Well, I call that Jimmy Johnsoning. It always helps when you have a genius like Tom Landry or Anthony Burgess or Arthur C walk through the door first and leave lits on the shelves. He would the priests told me disavow Sparta cus because he didn't read Tacitus until after filmed the script by Dalton.
Sounds like Kubrick was blowing some smoke ... He just happens to keep making films that comment on current politics without being aware of it? Gotta call bullshit...
the cycle you're talking about is called Chiastic structure It's used a lot in fables, myths and religion going back to writings from the bronze age and still in use in more modern works like the LOTR. I wonder if this comes from Kubrick's use of literary elements and structures in film.
I have to wonder if people would be more sympathetic towards Alex if he and his droogs hadn't assaulted the woman at the beginning? Two evils and one appears to be the lesser.
"No one expects that the government would literally employ such a treatment,"? Ten years earlier Alan Turing submitted to chemical castration for his crime of "gross indecency" (consensual homosexual sex).

KUBRICK is a genre of his own
Only in the minds of pretentious twats like you
I agree, Kubrick had his own distinct style. He made very good movies.
Damn straight. 100 % genius
I agree
he spans many genres
Tyler should get a PhD on Kubrick. You have enough material already
all things fascinating But then he’d need to continue presenting research annually and what kind of research journal would he submit to.

It's perfect!
Music plays a big part too. It's obvious he thinks deeply about what music to use.
Another great video.
But that goofy background music makes it hard to take what you say seriously at times. Like "am i supposded to laugh at this"? :P
Oddly, the first bit was the zither theme from The Third Man, but played on a guitar.
I would love to see what you'd say about Fellini. He is one of my favorite directors, and I think you'd do wonders with his stuff. Please do consider!
Thanks for the suggestion! Someday!
Another great analysis but the game show music in the background with Kubrick's images is just jarring.

I generally don’t get scared by horror films, I am never phased by them, but everytime i watch a clockwork orange I always feel uncomfortable.

I'd bet that A Clockwork Orange is a cold war film mourning gambling (after it was made illegal in the Soviet Union [likely decades earlier]).

maybe in his prime. not in the 90's. there comes a point where you have to ask, "what's in a name"?
With having read the notorious 21st chapter, Alex becomes good as far as I'm concerned, on his own, he at the point of seeing Pete and his family in the diner, just gets it, like what life is about. At that point Alex abandoned his new droogies and goes off to become a family man. The End!
However, watching Kubricks version, I always felt as if Alex returns to his evil self-indulgence and snickers silently at everyone knowing he has beat the system. Alex acts as though he is a good little boy and signs his waver to freedom and then starts a life in politics, gains wealth along the way, becoming a dictator with- Grand Delutions of Grandiose Prosperity gaining a stature greater than any other vile leader in history. And oh yes my brothers viddy well, viddy a horror show of the utmost ultraviolet light ever viddied in Alex's sureal playground of a carnaged plaged Society.... and all that cal.
14:27 I DON'T REMEMBER THAT SCENE AT ALL from Clockwork Orange
In prison, when he is talking about the Bible, he mentions that he likes Old Testament more because there was killing and action, and this is one of his fantasies
@@NeedForMadnessSVK oh yeah, thanks 😊
This music fuckin ruins the video oh my god
Easily one of the most overrated movies of all time
I think you're wrong with the civilised society reading. I'd say it's about the parallels of Alexs brutally and the societys brutal nature.
Guess I wrote to early^^
I’m British .. and i endorse this film
It does make you wonder what parts of everyday life inspired Kubrick for Clockwork Orange. While the question of how much control over the public's morality the government should have isn't frivolous, the idea of the choice to do wrong being an inherent human right is somewhat original.
Kubrick knew he was it. THE one, the creator, God . HE just didn't KNOW how he was doing it.
1:48 oh this statement didn't age well at all.
If any of the original score was used the video would gain a copyright strike as it is owned by Wendy Carlos.
Any remake would be well..... ultra-sacrilegious.
What do you think of "the Ludovico Lie", Tyler? It's in a couple of videos by Collative Learning - please look
Way too many assumptions and far-fetched theories. It's almost random how the narrator connects all these movies.
As always, fantastic video.
Well, I call that Jimmy Johnsoning. It always helps when you have a genius like Tom Landry or Anthony Burgess or Arthur C walk through the door first and leave lits on the shelves. He would the priests told me disavow Sparta cus because he didn't read Tacitus until after filmed the script by Dalton.
Why is there music blasting throughout the video?
It's perfect!
is this matt the radar technician at 01:07 ??
is Alex immoral or is he just free?
Sounds like Kubrick was blowing some smoke ... He just happens to keep making films that comment on current politics without being aware of it? Gotta call bullshit...
WHY THE CRAZY MUZAK?
Dr Strangelove = Operation Paper-clip / Fluoride
Clockwork Orange = MK Ultra
The Shining = Fake Moon Landing / FE
Stanley Kubrick directed it. Next question.
the cycle you're talking about is called Chiastic structure
It's used a lot in fables, myths and religion going back to writings from the bronze age and still in use in more modern works like the LOTR.
I wonder if this comes from Kubrick's use of literary elements and structures in film.
It all makes sense after reviewing all this old movies how Hollywood got in hyperdrive after the 80's everyone wanted a piece of the 🥧.
I have to wonder if people would be more sympathetic towards Alex if he and his droogs hadn't assaulted the woman at the beginning? Two evils and one appears to be the lesser.
This is a very good viddy.
Dude, this was awesome. Excellent analysis link the book when it's out!
