Extract

Human emotions, desires, and flaws are often subjects of focus in cinematography. From the basest desires of greed and hatred to the shining examples of purity and logic, man is painted in almost every manner imaginable. Stanley Kubrick, a master at depicting man's more twisted nature, offers a very dark view indeed, of what may lay in the future of humanity.
The morally derelict future of his Clockwork Orange is filled with roaming bands of young ruffians, who gorge themselves on drug-laced milk before nights filled with anguished screams of those whom they rape and brutalize. The movie surrounds these acts of violence with a wide-range of invented slang, taken from the book by Anthony Burgess, on which the movie is based, startling images of sexuality, a surprisingly sophisticated soundtrack, and conflicting views of freewill and society. The story unfolds through the life of Alex de Large, leader of a group of violent youths, whom he refers to by his Nadsat vocabulary as "droogs".
