Clockwork Orange (ScreenPress Film Screenplays) by Stanley Kubrick, Anthony Burgess

Insights from Clockwork Orange (ScreenPress Film Screenplays)

“It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.”

Alex loves Beethoven while he hurts people. It made me realize that high art doesn't actually make anyone a better person.

“When a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man.”

Taking away the choice to be bad is its own kind of evil. Being forced to be good feels like being a machine.

The government used Alex as a pawn to look tough on crime. They didn't care about his soul. They just wanted him quiet.

“Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.”

The slang makes you feel like an outsider at first. Then you start thinking in it. It's scary how fast you can get used to violence.
