I am a huge fan or A Clockwork Orange. I have seen the movie many times and have read the book several times. It is so outstandly deranged and graphically messed up and will always stay with you but is a fantastic story. This story shows how the youth has risen above the ordinary person. They terrorize the public and abuse and hurt them as well. Alex, the main character, leads a small group of teenagers that rob, great, kill and rape men and women. They spend the rest of their lives in a bar that serves milk laced with drugs. In the movie, you can see how sexual it is because the chairs are naked people. The movie and book both make references about sex and violence. The kids are kind of crazy and insane with their behavior. A famous part of the story is when Alex rapes a woman and makes her husband watch while he does nasty things to her. The boys talk in the bar in the beginning of the story before getting all amped up start a robbing spree in the public. They steal cars, kill people, harass people, assault people and do everything else that you can imagine. Alex goes to prison and gets brainwashed by the prison so when he starts acting violent or things of sexual things he gets very sick. He cannot listen to classical music anymore and because it worked on him, the prison wanted to make it a huge plan for the rest of the population.
The movie shows the classical music much better and portrays the gang to be more mentally ill that crazy young youth. The prison and doctors use Alex as the test and gets exploited because of what they have done to him.
I think this story reflects youth and the culture of youth in itself. I think it has many elements that show how people grow up and grow out of things. But going to prison and changing is also very different. Alex, goes from being crazy and against the system to starting a different life once he is out of prison, in a way, all kids act like this at some point. Not to this extent but defiantly act out or go against the system.
