now this is one fucked up story.
the main gist of it is that this kid called alex and his droogies go around bashing the shit out of people, raping some and stealing shit from store owners to old women. alex is finally arrested, taken to jail, then transferred to a new therapy aimed at brainwashing prisoners into feeling ill when confronted with criminal behaviour. i had read the book by burgess before i saw the movie so i knew what i was getting myself into: a fucking brutal analysis of morality and freewill.
the movie was relatively accurate to the book, as much as it could be i guess. most of what goes down in the book surely would be illegal to put in a film. it was also good to note that kubrick kept some of the russian pseudo-slang to maintain authenticity.
the movie is great but i would recommend reading the book.
