Storia
In a dystopian future Britain, teenage delinquent Alexander DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell) leads his gang of 'droogs' in committing violent crimes and home invasions, while indulging in Beethoven's music. After being caught and convicted for rape and murder, Alex is offered a choice by the government: undergo an experimental behavioral modification treatment called the Ludovico Technique, or spend the rest of his life in prison. The treatment, designed to curb his violent tendencies by associating violence with nausea, leaves him unable to harm others but also robs him of his free will and love for Beethoven's music. Upon release, Alex finds himself ostracized by society and hunted by those he wronged while rehabilitated, leading to a series of events that challenge his newfound pacifism.
Riassunto
A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess' novel of the same name. Set in a futuristic Britain where juvenile crime runs rampant, the film follows teenage gang leader Alex DeLarge as he navigates his way through prison and an experimental rehabilitation program aimed at curbing his violent behavior. Through its unique slang language ('Nadsat'), disturbing visuals, and powerful themes of free will versus government control, A Clockwork Orange stands as a chilling cautionary tale about the dangers of totalitarianism and societal decay.
