Thats the point of the movie! Also when I hear classical music I remember this film, they did the technique whatever its name was not only on Alex in the movie, they performed it on us as well and it worked! Now we equate that music with violent scenes though...
Apparently this was originally supposed to be without music, but Kubrick went over to McDowell one day and asked if he could dance. McDowell immediately did a rendition of "Singing In The Rain", and Kubrick was in tears of laughter. The rest is history.
In the book after where the movie ends years later Alex meets Pete again and Pete has a wife and children and Alex sees this and gives up the ultra violence to lead a normal life
Also in Leon the professional where they cut the chain right off if you open the door even slightly. Funny how in that movie Leon also likes Singing in the Rain. Wonder if that's coincidence or intentional
No only that was important to be on the movie, (Malcolm McDowell's idea of singing this while dancing) after this scene, were Frank and his wife are brutally assaulted while he is singing and tolchocked him, Alex treatment at the Ludovico's goes the same way, combining horror-show, suffering illness while listening music to create discomfort and pain and traumatic feelings. It's a sin, for sure, that is why he suffered a lot. When later in the movie Alex realized he was Home 🏡 again, Frank's Home, he started to sing the Gene Kelly song again on the bathtub and Frank hears the song suffering from the same illness of association of the horror-show with music that Alex himself created. Such a great movie.
@@atakd They did not award a Pulitzer prize in 1973 because Gravity's Rainbow that year offended the voters.

The novel makes a whole lot more sense than the movie, plot wise. What makes it disturbing: The book was more violent and less erotic, while the movie was more erotic and less violent.
Most of it is in anglicized Russian. Gulliver = golova (голова́) = head. Once you get past the slang and Alex's odd way of speaking, it's easier to understand, and actually quite funny. Most editions come with a literary essay from Anthony Burgess that's also pretty witty.
I remember singing this at work and the bosses wife complained about it after that I come to work and had a glass of milk on my desk and drank some as I smiled at her she again complained and I got sacked haha
It occurred to me that this scene may have significantly inspired the Fallout franchise - which juxtaposes upbeat 1930s music with a post-nuclear wasteland.
@@hrerekivarsson9372 Google defines that word as "Unnecessary, unprovoked (usually brutal) violence; violent acts simply for the thrill and entertainment of it" (and I would agree based on the general way it's used in the book and movie), so it doesn't necessarily include the juxtaposition with a pleasant tune.
I watch this movie in sweden in 1988. Went with my girlfriend and some of her friends (all girls) Afterwards we were numb and shocked, we were all about 18 and 19. To this day i hate this movie, it hurt then and yes even now, it still hurts.

Está escena es increíblemente morbosa. El señor Gene Kelly había logrado cambiar el sentimiento negativo hacia la lluvia, asociandola con la alegría y el amor. Está escena da vuelta todo eso para transformarla en la antesala de la violación, la muerte y la destrucción del conocimiento (manifestada en tirar los libros). Muy turbio y oscuro, todo un signo de nuestro tiempo que el director y el actor supieron captar.

Yea as soon as I put this on for my 7 year old son he stole a car put lsd in milk and drank it beat 2 people while singing in the rain and now he's in jail but hopefully this new government experiment that he was given will fix him.

He was sent to check the rest of the house. Alex tells him to after he's done whistling.
