Clockwork_Orange_Film_novel

Clockwork Orange Film/novel When he wrote A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess created his own world set in London during a future time when gangs and violence are rampant on the streets. This style of literature stressed the overly pessimistic view of human nature and violence as well as the evil ways of human behavior. Going even deeper, this novel attempts to confront the subject of one's free will and whether or not most people actually have any at all. Alex proves that he in fact is one of few people who can truly exercise free will. His care free attitude in which he does as he pleases, regardless of the known consequences, proves in fact that he does practice free will. Whenever Alex makes a choice both in the novel and the film, it is clear that he is making that choice based on his own personal desires, and nothing more. 'The not-self cannot have the bad, meaning they of the government and the judges and the schools cannot allow the bad because they cannot allow the self. And is not our modern history, my brothers, the story of brave malenky selves fighting the big machines' I am serious with clockwork, orange, alex, free, scene, kubrick, novel, because, burgess, lighting, very, techniques, choice, treatment, stanley, restriction, fact, begins, alexs, way, visual, violence, song, shot, seen, room, makes, idea, film, viewer, subject, story, sense, scenes, restricted, own
