I've seen this a few times and I read the book up until the last 2-3 chapters.. but I've always been uncertain as to what happens .. or happens to alex .. at the end when he pulls that face. did the gov't "take care of him" by rendering him braindead or in some sort of dreamstate.. or what? I dont know if this is something left to interpretation or if there was something that I missed by not reading the book's final chapters eh? |

he was cured. he could listen to beethoven and daydream about rape and whatnot without feeling ill. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
apparently you have only seen the us version. in the other one, alex grows up and lives in a house with a white picket fence and whatnot. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ha! |
||||||||
|

it turns out it was all a dream. |

someone eats the orange then cracks their tooth on a cog |

He is fully cured plus the government pays him well to keep quiet about the procedure. I wish it didn't show his dick though. |

Jack says to Tyler "My eyes are open" and shoots himself. Ohhh wait... no... scratch that. |

it's an ironic ending. he knows he's "cured" because the association with the music has made him feel ill again hence the paradoxical definition of being well as defined by the state has worked. he is now safe from being able to harm anyone due to the operand conditioning in the brainwashing. pavlov would be proud! the extra bit at the end that is mentioned which is also in the book ruins the film. |

||||||||
|
|

how old are you? you havent seen it? :P |
||||||||

i've seen parts. i've never really been interested. my previous post was in the interest of humor, although it was lacking quite a bit. :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
do what i did and get really stoned before you watch it for the first time. i hadn't a clue what the fuck was going on until about halfway through :) the dialogue is amazing. |
||||||||
|

sounds like a night although part of that activity is against a new years resolution of mine, and it's not the movie watching part. :) |

self control, not self oppression! |

|
|
oh is that right? i thought the movie was missing a whole chunk. how alex realises his purpose is to be a family man :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the book originally was published in two versions too, if I remember correctly, with two different endings. indeed one with him just continuing, the other with him wanting to start up a family. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I read the one where he wanted to start a family and not hang around with the "guys" anymore. I thought he'd just grown up really. I like the film because I like anything with Malcolm McDowell in, all the classics "if...", "O Lucky Man", "The Passage", "Britannia Hospital", "Figures in a landscape", "Royal Flash"...... um "Blue Thunder".... "Class of 1999" and... um it goes downhill.... "Cyborg 3: The Recycler" etc |

Hahaha! I was thinking the same thing. |
||||||||
|

CALIGULA |

|
|
And of course, the full-.on, extra porn version of Caligula. Sorely underrated, it is quite good. I still say "Dance, Little Boots" to this day. |

the first movie that was not a porn to feature anal fisting. |

At the end of the book, after the government cleans up the conditioning done to his head by the ludiveco stuff, he gets back to his old business with a new gang of droogs. Then he sees one of his old droogs, married with a carreer and such, and he decides to clean up his life. |

the last chapter of the book has Alex becoming a mature adult and sort of growing up and realizing that his previous life style is no good for him anymore.. i think he is sitting in the bar, and looking at some new lot of young ruffians and reflecting on his own life. the whole point was, that Alex is not a machine, that he is able to change and make decisions for himself. that man should not be made into a 'clockwork orange' or in other words, an organic, living organism with mechanical laws applied to it. great book, great movie! |
