      Rob Zombie is the worst for it. His Halloween remake was/is one of the worst. I don't know that there is anyone that I believe could do a remake of this and it be as good as the original. I really hope the remake of IT is good, but I'm skeptical.

    • @MrLaxdude89

      equality everywhere Clockwork is just one of those movies that should never be remade. Even something like Ghostbusters, I could see new things being done with it (Not that the new one was warranted, I just don't think a remake is a horrible idea)
      There's nothing more to be done with A Clockwork Orange, at all. It's such a perfect film, with nothing more to say, because in its 2 hours and 16 minute runtime, it said more than anyone would ever have to. Much like 2001 it still holds up incredibly well, and in almost every way was ahead of its time. A remake would become dated a few years after it gets made.

      that is true, however in the initial american realised of the book, the finale chapter was exuded to meet with american tasts, and that was the version Kubrick used. I haven't watched the movie (I don't want to) but I did use the book as the subject of my diploma essay for English, even though I don't really like it, I know it quite well

    • @tobybartels8426
      @tobybartels8426 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Jacob Lineman : Of course they shouldn't remake the film, but they could readapt the original source material (the book). Like The Shining … a totally different movie, more true to the book, but taking nothing away from Kubrick's version. And then yes, they would include the last chapter, but we'll all remember this one regardless.

  • @sdgundum990
    @sdgundum990 8 ปีที่แล้ว +531

    I would argue that the ending scene in the snow is the mirror of the scene in the beginning when he sees "such glorious pictures." He was an evil little shit, then the system took his free will. When he's "fixed" the snow scene is an actual scene playing out in his mind rather than disjointed images. In the end they made him an even better monster.

    • @Abraxas948
      @Abraxas948 8 ปีที่แล้ว +59

      In the full version of the book, I think that that scene was put in so that the reader thought that he would continue being an evil asshole for the rest of his days. Yet in the last chapter, the chapter after that in every version but the American one, he started off just as the book began, in a gang off to do mischief, but instead of going off and doing said mischief, he went off by himself to a diner. A saw a few things and thought how he really wasn't into the violence anymore. What he really desired was to have a son. It was to show him maturing; to put all of his other actions in light as an immature thing that he grew from. We all do dumb and horrible things in our youth, but we shouldn't be horribly punished and controlled. We should be able to grow and learn from our mistakes to become the adult that we're meant to be.

    • @Uruz2012
      @Uruz2012 8 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      +sdgundum990 Try reading the book... There is a third act where Alex tires of his violent past times and becomes a normal 9-5 guy. He realizes that he can have a better life by working to earn/create things than by theft and destruction. This ending was cut from the film because Kubrick thought American audiences wouldn't accept it. I think it does an injustice to the original author who intended Alex's violence to be an effect of his schooling and restrictive home life which detached him from the reality of interacting with society in a constructive manner.

    "There is no real progress made by the end of the film."
    So true.
    This is because the film is based on the American release of the novel, which was missing the final chapter. In the original version, released in England with the 21st chapter included, Alex does progress a bit (although admittedly he merely seems to graduate from full-on psychopath to possibly-functional sociopath, but hey! it's a start).

    • @uruglytoo
      @uruglytoo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +59

      +EyeLean5280 Kubrick was fully aware of the final chapter, but thought it was a cop-out, so he didn't put it in the film.

    • @Krycega
      @Krycega 8 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      +Aaron S To be fair, Anthony Burgess talks about the 21st chapter not being a cop out because he says that human nature is prone to change and it actually fits better with the theme than with incomplete Orange.
      Human nature is defined by free will and in the end Alex realizes that he's bored with violence and all that. He begins to realize that you can't control human nature and it's best to let people figure it out on their own.

    • @EyeLean5280
      @EyeLean5280 8 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Krycega Yes, he envisioned Alec maturing out of his earlier behavior. But I having read it, I feel its handling in the book is facile and unconvincing. But that's just my opinion.

      +Monkof Magnesia I agree. It would also be cool if they did the original ending (aka the UK book ending) of him changing as an adult.

    • @Monkofmagnesia
      @Monkofmagnesia 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I do not understand why they did not have the original ending in the movie. The book had 21 chapters (because you were considered a man at age 21). In the U.S., chapter 21 was editied out of the book, but not in the U.K., so Kubrick had to be fully aware of how the book ended.

    • @margaesperanza
      @margaesperanza 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      +Monkof Magnesia Kubrick said he knows about it but never considered to add it to the story. Most American readers and publishers agreed that the UK ending is inconsistent and made no sense. I just think cutting chapter 21 was to make the book more "dark" and "disturbing" when all Burgess wanted to show was people do change, people will eventually get fed up. And that in itself is accurate. But the American publishers dont see that.

    • @Monkofmagnesia
      @Monkofmagnesia 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for that information. Fun Trivia, one of the writers for the 1977 Jesus of Nazareth was Anthony Burgess. SHould have known. Especially the scene where JEsus (Robert Powell) exclaims, "Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees! You have no yarbles!" He was also the screen writer on "Moses the Lawgiver," starring Burt Lancaster, which came out about the same time.

    You guys are so smart. I love these. You know, when I used to run a film program for High School kids, we always took a close look at all the kids who listed Clockwork Orange as their favorite film. We had to make sure they were getting off on the symbolism and film-craft, rather than the beatings and rapes. I think mostly they were just mind-blown by how different it was from everything else. That said, over many years, it was only ever a favorite of males, never females.

    Thufir Hawat obviously hasn't read the book. There's a few missing pieces that weren't in the movie. First of all, the milk they were drinking was spiked with drugs that the British government hadn't gotten around to making illegal yet. In the end, yes he does return to his old violent self but at this point he's grown to the ripe old age of 19. I think he was 16 in the majority of the book. He becomes bored with all the ultraviolence and stealing cars and dressing in the latest fashion and he begins to consider having an actual life. In short, the book was about youth and growing up.

      Well, i'm guessing you do watch every 'Hidden Meaning' video (because you watched this one), and in those they announce it at the end every time, like in this video. :)
      But that aside, why do you love A Clockwork Orange so much? I like it, and it's a great movie, but i seem to not like it as much as others ;) I dont even think it's one of Kubrick's best :/

    • @mesyslexiyesnomaybesp82646
      @mesyslexiyesnomaybesp82646 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lt. Col. Frank Slade The reasons in the video, of course, the writing and performance for the character of Alex (and really all the characters.) I would also add that the cinematography is some of Kubrick's finest, this and 2001 are his best shot films in my opinion. Granted, A clockwork orange is only my favorite film by a hair, several other films are just behind it (some of Kubrick's other films like 2001 and Full Metal Jacket are included on that list.)

    • @FreakieFan
      @FreakieFan 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      True, that is also the main reason why i love it, because such a hateful character who does horrible things, you still see sympathy for, that's a great thing in the movie.
      2001 and Barry Lyndon are Kubrick's best shot movies IMO, Barry Lyndon, literally every shot could be screenshot and put on a wall as a poster

    A Clockwork Orange imo basically explores the relationship between an individual and the society said individual lives in. And it has one frightening message: Let the man choose, and he will always choose the evil thing. Why? Because society allowed him to do the evil thing in that specific case. Which is why not the individual Alex is wrong and needs treatment, no it is society that needs to be reformed: Hence the final statement by Alex: "I was cured, alright." The society Alex lived in learned nothing from his case.
    It's basically going down, man, it's all going down.

      I think it would largely boil down to an animalistic nature being prevalent in all species. The Xenomorphs want to hunt, kill, and find a way to reproduce simply because it is in their nature.
      Humans however give into greed and exploration very easily as shown in the form of Weyland-Yutani and in a sense, they are no less of an animal than the creature that they seek to weaponise. I suppose you could see greed as something that is part of human nature. Whether or not we would like to admit it, we always want more.
      That's just my perspective on it.

    @fistfulofknowledge 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The problem with the argument of this movie is that it's based on a false premise. Alex might have chosen to be violent, but he did so because of urges he never actually made a conscious choice to have. Instead he just did, similar to how the Ludovico technique made him abhor it. Ultimately Alex goes through the full movie without free will at all.

      Any Kubrick movie is not a typical movie: The Shining, 2001 A Space Odyssey etc. and with this one he was quoted saying that Eyes Wide Shut was his greatest contribution to film. I want to know why that is. Are there themes we as an audience have missed ? is there elements of an underground society that apply to today's events ? I just know it's a very good movie and I love hearing people's perspectives on any of Kubrick's films.

    @midnight15086 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    If there is no such thing as free will, then you can't violate someone's free will, right? I thought this same stupid ethical conundrum was present in a Clockwork Orange. I can't say for sure what the intent was, but I felt as thought I was "supposed" to feel sympathy for Alex in the end and to feel like they violated his free will, but I didn't feel that way. In fact I was annoyed that after all the trouble they went through to "fix" him, in the end they gave up and turned him right back to the awful human being he was in the first place. The more interesting question I thought about was, if someone could be "fixed" or if they turn over a new leaf so to speak, should they be punished for their former deeds they committed back when they were different?

    • @djayjp
      @djayjp 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +midnight15086 In a universal sense, yes, there is no free will, however, the government in the film reduced his 'practical' freedom/autonomy. Your last sentence is interesting-- such would diminish the utility of the punishment as a deterrent to future would-be offenders however.

    • @midnight15086
      @midnight15086 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      djayjp I think it is an interesting question too, and I'm not suggesting to have the answer. I agree that it could diminish the effect on would-be offenders, but on the other hand, if someone did something awful when they were 20, got away with it, and then regretted it and lived a virtuous life for the next 40 years, if they were brought to justice when they were 60, would the punishment have the intended effect of behavior modification of the recipient of the punishment? It might send a message to others but it's too little too late for the person being punished. I believe punishment should be swift and to the point and easily understood to work as behavior modification, but on the other hand I also believe in justice for victims, but that's not really "punishment," it's atonement or retribution. So I can never decide on this issue. And there are real life examples where this concept applies.

    • @djayjp
      @djayjp 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I find this fascinating:
      www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35813470
      Though are people (per capita) more likely to commit crimes knowing the sentences are light? Conversely, it seems likely that more violent/severe crimes are committed due to the perpetrator knowing that there's a life/death sentence waiting for them (e.g., murder-suicides).
      Yes, I think it's important that offenders or would-bes know that they will get caught. I think with most crimes they have to be charged within 20 years of the offense.
      The Norwegian example indicates something special is happening there that needs to be further understood. Maybe it's partly due to the gini coefficient there and the homogeneous culture?

    • @midnight15086
      @midnight15086 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      P.E.I. Man -Canada- I understand that sentiment completely. That's where retribution/atonement come in. I just don't think it will have any effect as punishment if it is too many years removed from the actual deed. If you found out 10 years later that your now-15, then-5 year old did something bad, would it make any sense to punish them now? Overall, as far as a Clockwork Orange goes, I wish they had left him "fixed" even if it was against his will, because it was for the good of society. I just don't know whether punishing him in addition to that would do any good. If we could change criminals brains whether they liked it or not, and make them "good," I think that would be even better than punishment.
