 A Clockwork Orange MeaningsModerated by: ben Submitted by: Mr.movieguyAdded: 2009-06-09 02:39:29 Rating:  Its ironic, in this movie Alex is a criminal, yet the government "cures" him by making him a victim. Everyone he did wrong to returns the favor when Alex gets out of prison, I believe this movie teaches us to be careful what we do, because what goes around comes around.

The point is that people are not inherently all good or all evil, they are a balance of both. This complication within a person makes them into a "Clockwork Orange" because they seem bright and playful on the outside, but are as complicated as a clock inside (it's a British expression. Choice is also a major theme. The only difference between the Priest and Alex, is that Alex chooses to be bad. When he loses the ability to choose good or evil, he is no longer human, he is simply a body that submits to the will of those that tell him.
Submitted by: anonymous the human itself, it's like a clock. always need to work according to rule. orange is derived from malay language from the word 'orange' which means literally human or people. the writer of the book is a British expatriat in a malay archipelago at that time. movie is conducted in Russian and english language bcoz it is predicted that the future of human race is a balance of power between America and Russia. the government try not evil by using tricks. associating the false action with pain stimulation. but it fails. at the end of movie, the anti hero still dreaming about naked girls. as Schopenhauer said, the human will is innate and unchangeable. society or government can only controls the action but can't control the will of human. the manifestation of extreme grotesque of human nature is the real thing that human has to learn. ironically also the Beethoven symphony, a great masterpiece can be utilized as a means to cause psychological pain, in the hand of immorals aka the government.
