DuDe even murders and burglars should have freewill LMAO

>crime against property has the same standing as a fucking murder in OP's eye
Imagine graduating High School without knowing the difference.

>In the book Alex grows to be a functional human but Kubrick didn't have access to the version with that chapter until years later
I fixed your post for accuracy.

>I've heard so much about this movie and that's the whole plot? freewill = good? So it's like a mediocre Star Trek episode.

>A Clockwork Orange
>lmao free will
That's what you got out of it? I mean it's obviously philosophical, but I never thought that it was about free will.

The movie is fun to watch because you get to see how someone in early-1970s Britain imagined the terrifying future of the 1980s when gangs of teens are allowed to run wild because the government has turned into hand-wringing socialists.

Have in out.

Go back to nu-Wars or Game of Normies general.

The film doesn't give any retarded answers like you're claiming. Kubrick was not a filmmaker of easy answers like Spielberg was. Instead, it poses interesting questions.

No, there was an American edition that edited out the last chapter (against the author's wishes iirc).
90% sure this is still wrong though. Pretty sure kubrick was just cynical.

>Burgess penned A Clockwork Orange with the intention that it would run 21 chapters, a number significant in that it was the age of legal adulthood at the time. His American publishers, however, deemed the final chapter to be, as Burgess put it, “a sellout, bland, and veddy veddy British.” So until 1986, when the book was first published in the States in its entirety, Americans, Stanley Kubrick included, had been reading only 20 chapters.

Feel free to post contradictory information.

the writer should have had a gun. he was a subversive and probably felt threatened by the government. why wasn't he armed? alex and the droogs should have been shot dead by the writer as soon as they came in the door

the movie would be 20 minutes long but at least his wife wouldn't have been a victim of the modern age POOR POOR GIRL

>the writer should have had a gun. he was a subversive and probably felt threatened by the government. why wasn't he armed?
Where the fuck was he supposed to get a gun?

oh right. it's england

>There are two different versions of the novel. One has an extra chapter. I had not read this version until I had virtually finished the screenplay. This extra chapter depicts the rehabilitation of Alex. But it is, as far as I am concerned, unconvincing and inconsistent with the style and intent of the book. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the publisher had somehow prevailed upon Burgess to tack on the extra chapter against his better judgment, so the book would end on a more positive note. I certainly never gave any serious consideration to using it.

My bad; I thought he had said he didn't read it until after he had completely finished the screenplay.

You are both retarded and wrong, Kubrick followed the American publication of the book which is missing the 21st chapter instead of the full English publication, DESPITE filming the movie in England. He knew exactly what he was doing, there is absolutely no way he could have made this movie without seeing the full plot of the book

Based, redditors seething

What a total retard, Burgess wrote the book in three distinct seven-chapter sections. Kubrick is a faggot

This. Kubrick was a fucking idiot. People who post on anime imageboards are much smarter

>Ummm Kubrick sweaty, people change, it's called a character arc and hero cycle, like a seminal work of art I know called Avengers: Endgame. Y'all be ruining the books and frick desu. Burgess wrote it to apologize to the fine young army dudes that beat his pregnant wife almost to death, which is what I'd do

He is correct. The 21 chapter is soap opera tier ending that would transform the movie into a Hollywood feel-good conformist garbage piece.

OP BTFO

Guns are cool

I've always wondered why Americas have guns but also a police force. Police is a socialist commodity in America.

Cops aren’t your friends

The movie is set in a dystopic bureaucratic hellhole

Not if you're a nig that's for sure lmao but being a nig is cringe. Cops can be pretty cool sometimes. I've know many nice cops over the years, and some assholes, too. It's like every other profession.

>I've always wondered why Americas have guns but also a police force.
The guns are to keep the King of England where he belongs.

That's what the Army's for.

Kubrick claims another author for his crippled harem

No, the final chapter was in the UK book, but taken out of the US version by the publisher.

I'm always shocked when I remember that. Did the author at least know they butchered his book?

I've never bought that story, Kubrick was too autistic about his research to not know the UK version of the book was different, he just wanted the dark ending, because he liked it. And I'm cool with that, because his movies would suck with happy shiny endings. But I think he was full of shit on his excuse that he didn't know.

He allowed it. The US publisher talked him into it, because they thought it would sell more copies, which was accurate.

The reality is, he wrote the book as a quick money maker, he wasn't that invested into it, and was surprised at the success of the book and movie. I tried reading some of his other books, and he's ponderous. Just not good. He got lucky with Clockwork, really lucky, if he hadn't written it, and Kubrick hadn't made the film, nobody would ever talk about him.

He was a bit of a cunt, too.

The government is meant to be tory. The writer is meant to be the socialist.
