I think “I was cured alright!” Is just meant to be a sarcastic joke about how the whole movie was about curing him, but in reality you can’t fix people like him.
Exactly or how the idea of curing a wrong idea of morality is useless. At the end of the day people who commit such horrible acts of violence should be punished and go to prison but training the human mind to stop being able to make decisions out of free will is what robs it off its humanity.
He means he’s going back to his violent ways, he’s “cured” because he has the ability to fantasise perversely without feeling nauseous. And the message is, you can’t change human nature to control someone. It’s as simple as that. Truly sinister, brilliantly written stuff!
But the authority thinks those crimes are social construction and the good behaviors are human nature Both the public and the authority thinks what they believe in is the essence of humanity but they are all wrong Raping is certainly not a natural thing to clap for, but we pretend it is for the sake of "nautre"
if you go by the book he returns to leading a gang but stops getting "a kick" out of the violence. he meets Pete who has grown up and married and he starts to desire that,even wanting a son. He is cured but by growing up.
The books ending is way worse. Just writing off psychopathy as an age thing you grow out of is degrading to the concept of that sort of mental deformity. The author didn't want to include it in the book. Alex was a maniac, no treatment could cure that.

Something you must consider is when he had his “dream” of people working on his brain while he was unconscious. I believe it’s possible that the government might have “rewired” him in a sense while unconscious to revert him back the way he was. In this way, they could bring out the large speakers and play the music without him getting sick, instead smiling in front of the media to try and show the media that their conditioning wasn’t bad, and it was the old man that drove him to almost kill himself and not the music (or their conditioning). The man feeding him at the end also went into detail about how the old man wanted Alex dead, and how they have him locked up now as if he was the problem and not their conditioning so that the media might blame the old man for his suicide attempt and not the experiment. Hopefully this makes sense to you all haha.

@@youtubeaccount1661 True, but Kubrick's ending seems to recognize Alex "marrying and growing up ending". Kubrick made some hidden clues that suggests that he doesn't believe in the whole Ludovico thing and that there is no happy ending to the story. The books ending is just as unsatisfying and unsettling as the films. We can interpret the book's ending as an unreliable narrator thing, it leaves us wondering if it's just bullshit.
Just watched this film for this first time! I got the idea that Alex is (mentally) back to where we first met him. This is because the society in the movie ultimately works in such a way that it forces young men like Alex to be ultra-violent while maintaining their free will or to not have any free will and essentially be a vegetable. What this means for Alex's future is still beyond me, but I'll take a guess and say that he'll eventually go back to his old ways (like clockwork). I know the book differs from this, but Kubrick isn't known for following his source material to a tee.
I agree, and to be honest, I wouldnt say the book differs too much from this, it just expands on the ending a little bit. He finds himself some new droogs and goes back to his old ways, just not participating in the violence directly. At the very end it hints at him having thoughts like "maybe im too old for this" after seeing one of his old mates move on with life, but it doesnt necessarily imply he changes in any way.
The ending kind of explains that he was finally cured of the terrible ways the government tried to “cure” him. Somewhere in the middle of the movie the priest and one of the scientists kind of argue on the thought that, yes he is programmed to not act of violence, but really he doesn’t have the choice. This movie was on one of my top 100 movies list poster and after watching it, it’s not bad. Brings a weird idea about the future and figuring out what is actually right and morally correct.
The book is somewhat different in that he learns not to be disgusted by Beethoven, and thus 'ultra violence', but he also outgrows his violent tendencies. Free will doesn't exist as religious types claim anyways. Mental illness and personality can teap individuals thoughts, even if their behaviour is not in their best interest.
Unpopular opinion: he was so in shock of the two giant speakers blaring the 9th symphony after expecting to return to society that he has a seizure and dies. What we see is his ultimate fantasy play out which he never stopped desiring, but with such overstimulation, his body literally broke.
Omg this is what I have been saying for years about the ending. You are just better at expressing my same thoughts. His eyes roll back because he thinks he is cured but the cure is death. Thank you for your post.
It's prbably been mentioned that their were two endings, U.S. and U.K. These two endings completely changed our perception of Alex's character at the end. In the U.K. version he chases the girl down the line of clapping ladies and gents. He tackles her and has his way. In the U.S. it's just them doing the nasty. Violence and sex. v. Love making.
[this is my personal analysis of the film itself and i doubt anyone who read the books would agree with me, but you never know] The sentiment he made before his eyes rolled in the back of his skull with a look of either pleasure or pain in reality was more of a like a cruel joke that his mind was playing on him in his imagination, he was seeing that his acts of being a murderer violence and sex were being re-encouraged creating a conflict in his mind in a vicious cycle making him go completely mad in his own skull, since the mind has problems holding two juxtaposed concepts of self,motif and morality at the same time. The grin vanishing from his face after doing the thumbs up indicated that he had completely lost his base sense of morality as well as violent intent, in my perspective opinion he went completely if not even more insane from all the conditioning and back and forth of the life he'd lived up to that point. Listen very carefully to the way he says "I was cured alright..." after having blacked out, because it was said with sarcastic irony, he basically went brain dead and fell into a coma from overstimulation of his senses and conditioning working against him. TL;DR: it put him in a kind of rock and hard place in his mentality, and he just shut down due to the intense conditioning and unconditioning of his mind and reality and the ego backlashing that it all landed on him. By eliminating the good and the evil in his base sense of choice, making him a clockwork-orange. A robotic vegetable. The book takes a divergent turn though from what i've heard so don't apply this analysis to what the original (and from i've heard of it) more prosperous ending.
WOW! Had a friend explain to me the meaning of title. A CLOCK WORK ORANGE.... What is a clock....a machine....what is an orange......natural.... Alex was forced to be a machine other than his natural self of feeling.
Yes, the title refers to the inevitable clash between the natural instincts of man and the stifling requirements of society. The word ORANG is Malay for MAN (as in orangutan, man of the forest). Hence, the title essentially means man force-fitted into a mechanized system.
The film ending is intentionally bleak, as it implies Alex will return to his violent ways having overcome the only impediment to his behaviour. The book contains an extra chapter, whereby he returns to gang life with a new set of droogs, but realises he's outgrown both them and his past when he encounters Pete from his original gang, now married and leacing a 'normal' life.
This makes me think about all forms of “re-education” and if they work at all or just leave people in worse shape then before and how some people might use this “treatment” on anyone they saw fit
I basically agree with your synopsis. The film had already dealt with its themes with the moral scruples of playing god, now concluding in the final scene instead of the 9th making Alex feel sick, it now makes him feel deviantly orgasmic. The film then cuts to credits with the original _Singing in the rain_ soundtrack. I think the movie was deeply inspired by censorship in art - including music, and many unintended consequences of that. The irony being Kubrick self censored and banned the film himself to gain a favourable film classification rating and to stop copy cat crimes.
@user-rs6df4wt6r cubrick's original cut was 4 hours long and he had to cut a lot of it to remove the X rated grade that the critis gave him to a R rated
He was poisoned by the government in the end. The last scene clearly shows Alex dying. The government took care of the liability of Alex by staging a photo shoot, then eliminated him. The promise of a job and monetary compensation was a lie to get him to smile for the camera, that was all they needed.
Never-ever had this perspective but it’s interesting how you came to this plausible conclusion. Incorrect, according to the book by Anthony Burgess but definitely an interesting take on the ending of the movie.
I saw it as he learnt nothing, which is idiotic as the book's ending is the complete opposite where he is free to commit crimes but has matured, settled down and just doesn't want to anymore.
for those saying to read the book, he's talking about the film! Screenplay writers don't have to follow what the book does and doesnt have to keep the same concepts, motifs, conclusions, etc..., as the book. However, art has many interpretations, so none of you are wrong!
The movie at first let us think that this kind of people can be fixed. Then by showing everyone going on revenge, it’s really grooves it’s not him personally but a human nature. That’s why wars happen - eye for eye, the amount of violence justified somehow. Call it a cope mechanism. It’s always leak out, people can take it as much ... The end scene is Alex coping with Beethoven music by imagining being aplaude for weird sex scene. He is retraining back.
i believe that the ending is that Ludovico therapy doesn't fix anything, it just induce nausea to the person when the violent thoughts comes up , it isn't stopping the person from having a violent thought, its simply restraining him, the person still have these dark things that causes the violent thoughts inside him. For me, an effective treatment must cure the cause not the problem it creates. The person must reason himself about why he shouldn't act like that.
To build onto that. The Stanley conspiricy is that he worked close to the govermnent. so, this film i believe is a fear monger to make people trust in the institution inplace as it stands, Thats just my opinion. with that said, i feel this film is to show the results in trying to fix something that "isnt broken" because when you do, u inadvertently create unintended results. You have alex who wants to straighten out his underlings, They turn against him. You have the prison who wants to reform alex, which the government feels other wise and could grant greater results. You have the govermnent trying to cure the problem which the prisons fail in, in which the public feels is inhuman. U have the public who seeked revenge on alex, which the hospitals opposed. At the end the hospital reform alex back to his "normal" ways and with the way his eyes rolled back, he's gone deeper into his psychotic ways in ways he has yet to understand. Stanley is such a genius the interpritation of his films can be anything. Edit: to add. On top of stanley being in connection with the government. i think he has a way with giving them the big ol F U in a subliminal manner.
I looked it up and according to wikipedia analysis section, it's all a dream sequence or a dream of an unconscious person. I never seen it but the movie seems too hardcore and strange.
Please someone explain this to me because I still don’t understand, was he cured as in he won’t do any more crimes OR dose he mean he is cured from the treatment basically meaning he can listen to the music he likes again and can commit crimes if he wants with no sickness or pain? Someone please tell me which it is because I’m extremely confused!
The book ending is very different to the movie. At the end, he goes back where he started. He sits down on a Korova Milk Bar, with his new friends. He then one of his friends, Pete, got redeemed so Alex did the same thing. His act of violence is later downplayed as he's no longer a monster and humanity is the key for him to go on a new life. He got married and have children.
I did take the ending that way. But at first, I took it as he had a stroke or aneurism which caused his eyes to roll back and he died right there and went to heaven. Which is why everything was white and everyone was cleaned and pressed while he got to do what he liked.....sex. Now, why would someone twisted like that get into heaven? Well, that's between him and God. Who are we to say who gets in there or not? Maybe he was forgiven. Lol, yea I know this is really out there and ridiculous. But that's how I looked at it for a while. This is a great movie no matter the reason for the ending.
Simple: he is the same nasty guy ... moral: people's behaviour and character do not change. A dog's tail don't straighten up if inserted in the soil for hundred years...a Hindi quote,,,translated
@@VisionaryTattoos So do you think that Alex pretended to be tortured by Beethoven's ninth and attempted suicide even though he wasn't suffering? I understand that the last scene suggests that the ludovico technique never actually worked but I find it hard to believe that he would go to those lengths to just get out of prison early.
Interesting enough the movie makes a great point about justice...even though he ultimately received punishment for his crimes from his victims( like a version of HELL), justice wasn’t served based on his emotional state. The idea of justice is silly and relies on unmeasurable perpetrator’s subjective emotional reality👌
I kind of like the book ending where sure his tendencies do come back, he realizes maybe it is time to grow up. Especially after he realized no body actually held a candle for him after he was sent away and it’s not like he’d give a damn under the influence of the treatment. Some of his thugs even became cops while he was gone. I know it sounds like a tangent but hear me out what if that the same as your interpretation maybe learning he needed to grow up. Maybe even realize the cliche kindness given is kindness earned. You tell me at the beginning he earned kindness.
I've watched it before, the film is when I think of is about health issues and also the character Alex learns about what happens when you look or do sexual stuff too much.
The last chapter was missed out in the UK so..... I guess I don't know what Burgess meant, I just think Kubrick meant to show Alex could now think evil thoughts without feeling sick, and it is not resolved if he would act on any of it futurewise. Burgess was Catholic and therefore Arminianist in doctrine along with many Protestants, and the Book is seen as refuting Calvinism in my opinion.
I always thought the ending was right before his death. The sex he was having at the end was his afterlife. He was cured by dying. His cure only helped society by getting rid (his death)of the problem.
Totes disagree (sounds like a a Irish surname, Connor A'gree DISS) !! But siriuSl¥ th0, dat whole flick unlUke another Mu$t Cee (pulp friction[less]) is naught buttha from big-ning t'endin' a HUGE 4th wawll brake !! IDYUATDAMF !!
My take is that Alex was never effected by the experiment in the first place, and that he only pretended to be to get out of prison and allow himself to be violated multiple times in order to get the settlement he would eventually receive.
I seen this movie yesterday. Thought it was interesting. Not a bad movie. But not a masterpiece either like everyone is claiming. Then when it was actually getting good, the movie ends.
I think “I was cured alright!” Is just meant to be a sarcastic joke about how the whole movie was about curing him, but in reality you can’t fix people like him.
You can't fix anybody

He was having dreams of a bunch of doctors playing around with his gulliver, like the inside of his brain
The book ending is very different to the movie. At the end, he goes back where he started. He sits down on a Korova Milk Bar, with his new friends. He then one of his friends, Pete, got redeemed so Alex did the same thing. His act of violence is later downplayed as he's no longer a monster and humanity is the key for him to go on a new life. He got married and have children.
I did take the ending that way. But at first, I took it as he had a stroke or aneurism which caused his eyes to roll back and he died right there and went to heaven. Which is why everything was white and everyone was cleaned and pressed while he got to do what he liked.....sex. Now, why would someone twisted like that get into heaven? Well, that's between him and God. Who are we to say who gets in there or not? Maybe he was forgiven. Lol, yea I know this is really out there and ridiculous. But that's how I looked at it for a while. This is a great movie no matter the reason for the ending.
i do
Simple: he is the same nasty guy ... moral: people's behaviour and character do not change. A dog's tail don't straighten up if inserted in the soil for hundred years...a Hindi quote,,,translated
Yeah he’s the same still lol
@@VisionaryTattoos So do you think that Alex pretended to be tortured by Beethoven's ninth and attempted suicide even though he wasn't suffering? I understand that the last scene suggests that the ludovico technique never actually worked but I find it hard to believe that he would go to those lengths to just get out of prison early.
The Dude work it out your self buddy
Interesting enough the movie makes a great point about justice...even though he ultimately received punishment for his crimes from his victims( like a version of HELL), justice wasn’t served based on his emotional state. The idea of justice is silly and relies on unmeasurable perpetrator’s subjective emotional reality👌
I kind of like the book ending where sure his tendencies do come back, he realizes maybe it is time to grow up. Especially after he realized no body actually held a candle for him after he was sent away and it’s not like he’d give a damn under the influence of the treatment. Some of his thugs even became cops while he was gone.
I know it sounds like a tangent but hear me out what if that the same as your interpretation maybe learning he needed to grow up. Maybe even realize the cliche kindness given is kindness earned. You tell me at the beginning he earned kindness.
I've watched it before, the film is when I think of is about health issues and also the character Alex learns about what happens when you look or do sexual stuff too much.
The last chapter was missed out in the UK so..... I guess I don't know what Burgess meant, I just think Kubrick meant to show Alex could now think evil thoughts without feeling sick, and it is not resolved if he would act on any of it futurewise. Burgess was Catholic and therefore Arminianist in doctrine along with many Protestants, and the Book is seen as refuting Calvinism in my opinion.
No.

i think u can asume hes "cured" with the 9th symphony playing at the end
I think the whole movie is a dream while the actor is in coma. He is in coma as a result of treatment he received.
I always thought the ending was right before his death. The sex he was having at the end was his afterlife. He was cured by dying. His cure only helped society by getting rid (his death)of the problem.
as far as i know, he didn't die in the book
Totes disagree (sounds like a a Irish surname, Connor A'gree DISS) !! But siriuSl¥ th0, dat whole flick unlUke another Mu$t Cee (pulp friction[less]) is naught buttha from big-ning t'endin' a HUGE 4th wawll brake !! IDYUATDAMF !!
My take is that Alex was never effected by the experiment in the first place, and that he only pretended to be to get out of prison and allow himself to be violated multiple times in order to get the settlement he would eventually receive.
All I got from it is that he was put back the way he was.
I thought he died
brainded, you're not far off.
I hated this movie
This movie is extremely overrated, fell asleep 3 times watching it took me 3 days to see this crap
I seen this movie yesterday. Thought it was interesting. Not a bad movie. But not a masterpiece either like everyone is claiming. Then when it was actually getting good, the movie ends.
