O my brothers and only friends it is I, your humble Narrator Paul From Heavy Spoilers.
Lots we do in this here big viddy so come with me as a peruve A Clock Work Orange.
-
The movie's one of the most controversial of all time with being banned in the UK for 27 years. It was only in the wake of Kubricks death it was released but even now it's still a controversial film.
Throughout this video we're gonna break it all down and talk about why its one of Kubricks Masterpieces. We'll also go over some of the real life crimes it's said to inspire and the massive controversy that it garnered in it's release. If you enjoy it please hit the thumbs up and make sure you subscribe for videos like this every day.
With that out the way, thank you for clicking this now let's get into our breakdown of A Clockwork Orange.

Hey everyone. You might notice this videos a bit more censored than our last version. Unfortunately we got age restricted on that so had to go back through it and blur a lot of things. Unfortunately CZcams doesn’t tell you what specifically was causing issues so we just covered a lot of things to be safe. Hopefully it doesn’t hurt your enjoyment of it. Thanks, Paul.
Yarbles! Grest boisy yarblockos to you.
Yeah CZcams will let gay sex stuff, naked yoga, and other disgusting things be played but not if you cover a movie. This place has turned to dog shit.
It's pretty blur-worthy, lol. Kubrick and Lynch are masters at creating brain worms.
@@carbine090909 I agree it's blur worthy, I don't agree with CZcams being selective on the rules it enforces.
understandable... the movie is brutal and the book even more so... even if its art and should be seen as such...
Watching this movie was the first time I was able to laugh again after my wife died. It was during the scene when reformed alex has returned to the old man's house and the old man finally realizes who alex actually is after hearing him singing in the tub. Alex thinks he still doesn't know who he is but he does, and he asks the old man what happened to his wife and without missing a beat he shouts 'SHE'S DEAD!'. Lol I laugh now thinking about it, and picture myself using this same cadence when people ask me about this sensitive topic. We were together 25 years and I truly love her, I guess my humor has turned kind of dark in the wake of death and facing death myself.
Laughter heals ❤
A victim of the modern age.
How are you holding up now ? @mazystarr i hope you are enjoying your life and i wish you all the best.
@@DutchStonerStudio im actually in the hospital with a tube grafted into my chest, dying of liver cirrhosis lol thanks for asking though!
@@mazystarr wel that sucks i dont know what to say but Shine Bright You Crazy Diamond :)
Singing in the rain is about enjoying doing something that other wouldn’t do like dancing in the rain or ultra violence. It’s very fitting for the scene.
The songs probably more accurately about being sad when life gets you down, what to do when life gives you lemons and all that. Strongly resonating the themes of the film. I hate when actors claim they came up with an idea, it always just seems like nonesense that comes out during an interview to me.
Indeed! Glad some people get it.
😊 apparently the actor that played Alex met the guy who wrote it at a party years later and when he went up to introduce himself, the guy who wrote the song just walked away. Extremely offended LOL
It's actually about demon crab aliens 🦀👽 taking over the earth and some guy has gone insane, dancing through bullets and falling debris, to his death.
@@user-fo1ow1jq3b dancing in the rain is a metaphor for dodging traffic brainiac
This was the first Kubrick movie I ever saw and it broke my brain. I never looked at cinema the same way again.
Did you read the book and break your brain even more? Lol
I remember being a kid and seeing the poster on my older cousin's wall. I thought it looked so cool. Then I saw the movie, and wow, it was so boring. One of the worse movies I've ever seen. Almost as boring as "2001, a space odyssey". And mind you I love boring movies like "Barry Lyndon".
I don't know how any of that changed how you viewed things.
@@andychow5509you just don’t get it, you don’t get clockwork orange or 2001 space odyssey as they are very important films in cinema. They changed my life forever
Yea bro I don't get it lol I think it's a dope visual kind of movie set into a futuristic distopia. That's about it. @@andychow5509
@@andychow5509 Do you really love Barry Lyndon? if so why do you call it boring?
Stanley Kubrick said, his film was a dark comedy. Where people were meant to laugh while watching it. 😂
Maybe Kubrick is laughing.
All the way to the bank
I thought it was hilarious, in parts.
I view the main prison guard as a purely comedic character.
No he didn’t
Absolutely one of my top 10 all time movies. Such an amazing film
We were both born in ‘71 & I watched it when I was about 12. I remember being completely freaked out after watching. My parents had no idead the VHS I picked was this was truly made for adults.
Born in '71 as well and yes I watched this movie way too young. Didn't turn into Droog though. :)
Also a "71", yep, too young!
When I was a kid I picked out "zombie lake" and as the family sat ready to view the scary movie I chose..we all were shocked to see it was aporno where huge orgies were going on for some reason and attracted hordes of zombies to the lake.
omg! this is like rated "x" then -or should have been. This would traumatize me at 12
And Kubrick classically conditioned us to never be able to hear Singing in the Rain the same way ever again.
100%
Omg I had to sell tickets because my old high school did Singing in the Rain years ago. People were singing it in the hallway and I just sat there like "o.o oh no"
I remember seeing this at age 15 in 2005...blew my mind. I started looking up all the nadsat words and used them in my vocab. Freaking obsessed. Honestly reading the book was a different, but equally awesome experience for me.
the book is insane. I had to re-read the first chapter 4-5 times in order to really understand the slang and make sure I knew what the characters were talking about. But once it clicks, oh man, what a trip.
Heavy Spoilers: We'll break every detail for you, Barney Style
Kubrick: this warms my soul
The violence and other miscreant behaviour was not eradicted from Alex; the ability to act on the impulses was taken away.
he is imprisoned
Another Clockwork Orange reference Simpsons did was Bart dressing as Alex on one of their Halloween specials.
Also. In one episode, Mr Burns is being fed like Alex at the end of the film, in the hospital. Where he locks his mouth open in between mouthfulls of food.
That was a tree house of horror episode. It was in the same season as bart going for the cupcakes that was shown. There were, I think, 2 other references in that same season. I think one is where Mr Burns is turning Santa's little helper into an attack dog.
The old simpsons episodes were the best.
Saw this as part of a sociology class in high school. It creeped me out then and creeps me out now. I've only seen it once in its entirety and have no desire to see it again.
Then why did you come to this video?
@@FunhausRyan To get a better understanding of why it is the way it is.
@@jediknightjairinaiki560 Fair enough.
"The experiments that make him into a machine" is a perfect analogy for how the world turns us from mostly naturally caring creatures to singularly focused on wealth power and self preservation. Ive always loved clockwork orange. It really takes a special person to be able to unravel it. I also think the milk is a more simple analogy for cocain. But obviously they can't call it what it really is.
I first saw this film back in 2000. I was 19. I was living in Alaska with a native friend. We got bored one day and decided to hike the Turnagin Arm from Anchorage to Kenai, on the way, we were picked up by a dude who offered to let us crash at his place. We sat under the stars and had drinks and it was a memorable night. Later on, we watched A Clockwork Orange and I was so freaked out and blown awat by this film. It really messed with my head, in a good way.
I did a thesis paper in college on the use of sound and music, particularly in the cat lady scene, and it was fascinating. There is intention and purpose in every moment of this movie. Kubrick was a master of the art.
I'd love to hear more about that, can I read it anywhere?
My mother saw this in its original run, I think it was rated X at the time, she walked out of the theater, I on the other hand saw it when I was in high school , early 80s and never looked back..my love of cinema began with this movie...incredibly disturbing and incredibly beautiful. Weird how those two things can be the same
I forgot how much I loved this movie. Thanks for showcasing A Clockwork Orange. It's a must see for anyone who loves genuine cinema. Kubrick was a cinematic genius. This is definitely one of his greatest, also one of my favorites.
Malcolm McDowell really got his ass kicked while filming this movie.
I can remember this being the 2nd ever DVD I bought, when the ban was lifted and it was finally available. I think I was about 17, around 1999ish. I haven't checked or googled the release just going by memory. By that point we'd had Natural Born Killers etc and couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. With age, maturity and more viewings, I did come to appreciate it for the classic piece of cinema it is. Love it, and the book. ❤
Great movie, great breakdown, I got no problem watching it again! 🍻
Cheers mate
I'm always embarrassed to tell people this is one of my favorite movies. You have to look at it from a detached perspective. I'm not Alex, but I'm watching his story. Some people assume I relate with him, like Scarface. That's not the case. It's one of the first movies that made me look for the message in the film as a whole.
Don't be, this film is brilliant and stands the test of time
And I'll bet one of your favorite books is Lolita....
Art is meant to be appreciated.
I really like Goya but that doesn't mean I want to eat children...
Enjoy what you want and remember the issues people have with films often reflect more about them than is ever explicitly shown in the film.
If Stanley never became a Director, he would of been one of the most celebrated Photographers of the Century. The way that man used cameras was awesome!! Stanley had the eye and would have been revered just like Ansel Adams in my opinion!!
Painter, rather.
I always wondered what happened to (I think) Pete (the 4th gang member). When they raid the house he's the one who runs off to loot things while the other 3 torture the couple and he never took an active role in the rebellions against Alex either. I think he was the smart one of the group who took advantage of what the gang had to offer without really indulging in the worst of it (maybe I missed something though) and once the gang broke up he just went on to be successful in some other way, probably a politician.
I think he's mentioned in the book. He turned his life around.
In the last chapter of the book, Alex finds Pete walking down the street with his wife. Her name is Georgina, which Alex notes is odd. The implication is that Pete was obsessed with George.
In the book, A Clockwork Orange, Pete seeks redemption and turns his life around.
Thanks for releasing this video. Been wanting to watch it all week.
This movie popularized the juxtaposition of classical music, especially Beethoven, with violent scenes in movies (i.e. Die Hard, etc.)
Thanks for including this brilliant film. I read The singing in the rain audio was improvised by Malcolm McDowell, but Kubrick liked it, got permission to use it and left it in. I never read the book, but heard that his ‘conversion’ actually worked and he carried on to lead a perfectly ‘normal’ life. Very influential film, as well. Even though it’s difficult to watch, have seen it multiple times.
RIP John Savident, an incredible character actor.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think Evan Peters is an exact lookalike of McDowell when he played Alex? 🤌🏻
My most favorite movie. I usually play it beginning every November 29th of each year, to finish it on November 30th. My birthday.
Glad to see my number 1 film of all time getting the heavy spoilers treatment. Keep up the great work 👍
This was one of my favorite movies back in the 90's. I enjoyed the book even more!!!
one of the greatest movies of all time.
great breakdown mate!
My daughter loved the rain, when she was 4 , she would sit on my shoulder singing "singing in the rain" with her little umbrella...
That saved the song for me as a dominantly positive memory 🤗
It's not your fault it was censored, you still get my thumbs up.
Paul, thank you for explaining all of the details, hidden meanings, and symbolism in the film.
Vidy well brother !
Wonderful breakdown. I saw this movie years ago and didn't really understand it until your breakdown
Watched this when i was like 10 and it fucked with me hard. I was already a little demented from early childhood trauma but this just broke me. I loved it and hated it at the same time, but i was fascinated either way. Eventually i got older and revisited it, each time understanding it more and more. One of my favs of all time, without a doubt.
This was a breakdown I didn't know I needed. Cheers!
I know deep down in his heart, Spielberg wishes he could do a film like this. Something that isn't family or Academy friendly. Kubrick didn't care.
uhhhhh sir.....schindler's list....lol you forgot spielberg made that film huh?....one of the best films on my opinion and its definitely not family or academy friendly
@@ReallyBillyBoggs it's no Clockwork Orange, it's definitely a Academy award magnet. But probably the closest he'll get, especially since Kubrick was going to do a similar film before Spielberg got there first.
@@shaggycan I mean its based on true events whereas a clockwork orange is not so....yeah...one is good because its just good fun and a film the other is amazing because its depictions of real life events during ww2 in the camps and the efforts of one man to stop the brutality.....get the point here?..clockwork orange is a fun what if story and schindler's list is a amazing what has happened film
Spielberg took over the movie Ai from Kubrick, at Kubrick’s request, including the final scenes in the future with the advanced alien like robot race that evolved. People always assumed Spielberg added that in himself, but it was part of Kubrick’s vision. Everybody assumed Spielberg wanted a happy ending and tacked that on. I’m not sure why we feel the need to crap all over one great director to build another one up.
@@Ryotsu2112 he also trying to compare fact to a fiction lol n people agreeing for some reason xD bunch o numpties
You should do Fahrenheit 451 as well.
I've been waiting on this since you mentioned it, months ago.
..........
This was a really well done video. 💨💨🤤
Hope you enjoyed it
Would have been worth a mention that Kubrick originally planned an all electronic soundtrack by Walter Carlos....I'm fortunate enough to have the absolutely absurdly hard to find originally WC soundtrack on cd
rip it and put it online
@@jkgcproductions7589 maybe
@@Merylstreep1949 Do it Meryl! it's not a sophies choice this time, it's easy. Rip.
This movie was so good I remember watching it in 5th grade I thought it was hilarious
26:45 thanks to his commentary, I just noticed the pyramid.
Kubric is amazing. thanks for this video- I'd love to watch the full movie like an analytical "Mystery science 3000".
MacDowell deserved a damn Oscar for his portrayal.
I watched this film over and over, one time 6 times in one day. My fave Kubrick film.
Wtf…
Another excellent theory time rap!!! Want to see an uncut full version!!! 1min straight theory time rap please
Hour long version coming soon
I find it interesting that in the beginning Alex was aggressive, violent, and obsessed with control over others. He was able to control and manipulate thru his use of violence. Studies show us that for a psychopathic person control is the most important part of their lives. Psychopaths are obsessed with control. In the end Alex is bedridden and helpless and is in control now more so than before! Everyone around him is at his beck and call. Alex got exactly what he wanted! Kubrick is the master of irony.
My favorite Kubrick film and I was OBSESSED with the book as a teenager before I saw the film. My friends and I spoke nadsat throughout high school! Viddy well o my brothers!
The greatest satire of all time
One of my favorites; thanks for the digging!
Wait. Plato said that poetry should be banned because it's corrupting the youth? So it goes, poetry, then books, then radio, then TV, then video games are corrupting the youth.
I've forgotten theatre. Plato was greek and theatre was roman and during Shakespeare's time, so that one lasted a long time. Oh, and comic books too, I'm pretty sure I have heard that get blamed. Maybe nothing has really changed much in 2500 years? Only the mediums themselves have changed.
Brother. This is by far the best intro.
lol you nailed that impression at the beginning
I’d always known I was named after the main character. (My dad saw the film at the cinema and is a huge fan of the film and Kubrick. Let me tell you, when I finally saw a (still banned) copy when I was 16, I had some concerns for my dad’s mental health over his name choice. Great viddy as always.
Thanks Paul.
❤😊 one day I'll have to watch this movie
?
Just checked my copy of the book. He was 15 in the novel. Just checking..are you saying druigs? Rather than droogs?
He has an accent…
Excellent breakdown and analysis. One small detail that nobody seems to mention is that the writer greatly resembles Beethoven. Knowing Kubrick's attention to detail and love of hidden symbolism, I can't believe this was a coincidence.
As always, well done Paul! This movie is an all time top ten film, and is usually disregarded as smut by those who didn’t understand Kubricks intentions
Did the lead in this movie also play Caligula?
@thespiritualbaddie4947 . Yes, he did.
I think this video is one of your best ever mate. Keep it up!
All the best
Frank
Thank you
Did you hear about the time Ivan Pavlov was in a bar drinking with his friends? The phone rang and he jumped up and said "Ah shit, I forgot to feed the dog!"
my great great uncle Anthony burgess is the author of the clockwork orange and i STILL dont understand this movie XD
Oh WOW. Have you read it? I just recently in my late 30s finally understating this movie lol😅
@@clockworkpink13 i tried to read it but i cant stay focused with novels but as a psychology student i get the concept.
I have a few books I make sure to read every year and this is one of my favorites
It used to be a movie everyone had seen. I had some friends who went to a costume party dressed like Alex and his gang. Everything was perfect. Nobody at the costume party had seen or even heard of the movie so when they won best group costume they just called them the "white underwear boys"
hands down one of my faves
YOOO. A JARED CAMEO!
The "Call an Ambulance" clip/meme makes me laugh every....single...time 😂easy thumbs up from me love 🖤 hahaha
Haha cheers mate
I used to teach a media course and when we talked about the importance of music, I would show my students the singin' in the rain scene from this.
A friend warned me many years ago to never watch this as I would find the R scene too upsetting. All these decades later real life makes this movie look like fun and games.
Mmk....
@@XodyCalizander Am I supposed to know what Mmk means?
Mmk ultra!
@@hamsandwich6685 That's what I have been told.
I thoroughly enjoyed this breakdown.
Watched the movie first, then had to get my hands on the book.
Nicely done, thank you. ACO is my all-time favorite movie, which is a helluva thing to explain to a person.
A Masterpiece, amazing Film.
The pitch, tone, and octave of you voice makes my ears feel SOOOO good! Considering that there are a million other things that make me feel weird or want to barf because I'm so sensitive to sound, I just want you to know that I love you and I'm about to binge all your stuff 😂 also, you're adeep thinker and you're philosophical and you seem super intellectual And that is a good thing 😂
Hahah first time I’ve ever seen someone say my voice didn’t sound like crap
Now that is a shame!!
I've never seen this movie and I'm pretty certain I won't enjoy it. Thanks for the break down.
I’ve loved this film since I first saw it in the theater. Instant click on the video.
The book is brilliant.
Had to stop watching, half way thru the video and I was hit with my 12th ad.
imagine not using ad block
Amen! The ads are getting out of hand and I can’t stand the way they try to bully us into paying for their services. Even if it’s $10 a month there are hundreds of platforms out there so yeah not as cheap as they say it is.
I’m quitting any vids with inserted commercials or built-in sponsorship - it is beyond a joke now.
@@RikBooker ad blocker exists use it
Fun fact, the body builder the writer has living either him in the later part was played by David Prowes
Side thing, but a lot of the settings in this film still look modern to us today so it still hits the same way (well, us living in the "old world" I suppose are regularly amongst older buildings all the time). A lot of that brutalist architecture and the japanese garden etc. were made to look futuristic at the time (fairly obviously to be honest just pointing out for the bigger picture) and still do because we moved away from that architecturally (not so much with that Japanese style, it iterates and refreshes very often still, that place in the UK is probably older now than half the similar looking buildings in Japan itself!). The interior design though stylised are also on-trend at the time which was to look exaggeratedly futuristic so it just lands so well today even though Kubrick couldn't have forseen it much, fashion too but that was known to be a fad and played upon.
Very well done! Great breakdown video. It takes alot of time and dedication to put out the quality you do so.....much appreciated 👏
P.s. I lost it on that barley audible "hItLeR" 😅
I'm trying to cut-back
on my intake of
Milako-Plus, to you-know,
reduce my urges toward
the Ultra-Violent
tendencies!
lol
great video. if it werent for the ads every 2 mins
One of my favorite odd movies 🎥!!!
I watched this when I was in my 20s and it completely confused me. It was just too dark for me. Watching your breakdown now I understand why it creeeped me out so badly. I think I still stand by my younger self's decision. Young Malcolm McDowell was absolutely adorable though.
I luv it n india we like it all tine n mumbai evry one watch it like tht.... thank bro...
Thx breakdown
Aaaaaaahhhhh…. I get it now a clockwork (mechanical) 🍊 (biological being)!
Paul I was legit thinking and wondering if you’ll do a video about this film and wow you did it.Also I’m trying to be a member but it doesn’t give me the option to do so I watch all your videos on my phone
First: Brilliant video!...and second: Since you are always looking for suggestions to what movie to discuss next: How about "Man Bites Dog" (original title: C'est arrivé près de chez vous)?
The soundtrack alone changed my life.
Saw this at a special showing at the Scala Theatre in London about 20 years ago.
The place was full of Droogz.
Blur used this film for The Universal video
First time I saw this movie, as a teenager in the 80's, too young to remember anything about it's original release, I thought that the combination of the language and the droogs being portrayed so glamorously in the beginning was likely to inspire a lot of people to emulate, even if they also watched the entire movie and saw what happened to Alex after.
Maybe if one of the droogs died in the theatre fight might have done something to break that.
One of the best ones so far. Well done man!
Alex's mum looks alot like Mrs. Slocombe from Are You Being Served😂
A Masterpiece
I have always hated this movie, but I appreciate you diving into this classic, of sorts 🙂
Same!
