you should've consulted the nadsat dictionary, it's not hard to learn the vocab.

don't use the nadsat dictionary. its much nicer to learn it while reading, from context.
thats how I read it.
love how in the film the cinematography look wonderful; such a clear picture..

sometimes it's still vague after you've come across the word 10 times. also it's distracting to the story to not know what you're reading.

the whole movie is about moral choices and choice you got to make these choices. know what i mean?
the movie is amazing, it's at the top of my list. i didnt get everuthing on the first listen though, there are too many things/messages in there for you to understand all in the first time (well, at least for me).

That is my favorite movie. Best film Kubrick made in my opinion. The soundtrack is awesome to. The 10 track version is the better one. Next week I'm buying the Stanley Kubrick Box Set, so I'll get to see it in an all new way...

I only saw the edited version in my high school psychology class, so I know a lot was cut out. To be honest, i'm a bit afraid to watch the director's cut. I've heard about all these bizarre and fucked up scenes.
I recognize it's a very important and brilliant piece of film though.

hey hey hey... burgess really is crap... I did my english final on him... I had to trudge my way through about 1000 pages of his boring la-di-da life.
and maybe Jesus of Nazareth of an alright book

I too have the movie on video, and It's one of my favourites - It would be great to be Alex, oh yeah.
I have the OST on mp3 and It's fantastic also...

It's set in a private boarding school - McDowell is a rebel with a small group of followers.
It follows the school year..blah blah blah
Him and his gang are caned (this scene is the scene that has McDowell as "Alex")
Him and his followers, and a girl he got with, and a younger schoolkid, take to the roof, with grenades and machine guns, and gun down a visiting Bishop, school masters, and students
- THE END -
directed by Lindsay Anderson
there is a sequel, which I haven't seen, called MAN ABOUT TOWN (also with M McDowall)

Btw Burgess didn't write only one good book. His "1985" for instance is quite excellent.

"love how in the film the cinematography look wonderful; such

Fahrenheit 451 has a similair cinematographic style, it's a decent film too. Bit different to the book at the end though.

When I first saw it back in the early 80's I thought it was a pile of shite (I was about 14) but when I watched it again 2 years ago, then thought about it, I realised it was one of the most intuitive and disturbing looks into the human animal and the results of the choices we make day by day!
An absolute masterpiece in my eyes!
