A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971) Breakdown | Ending Explained, Making Of, Analysis & Hidden Details

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 YouTube 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.

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.

This was the first Kubrick movie I ever saw and it broke my brain. I never looked at cinema the same way again.

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.

And Kubrick classically conditioned us to never be able to hear Singing in the Rain the same way ever again.

The violence and other miscreant behaviour was not eradicted from Alex; the ability to act on the impulses was taken away.

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.

Absolutely one of my top 10 all time movies. Such an amazing film

Heavy Spoilers: We'll break every detail for you, Barney Style Kubrick: this warms my soul

Another Clockwork Orange reference Simpsons did was Bart dressing as Alex on one of their Halloween specials.

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.

Stanley Kubrick said, his film was a dark comedy. Where people were meant to laugh while watching it. 😂

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.

Paul, thank you for explaining all of the details, hidden meanings, and symbolism in the film.

RIP John Savident, an incredible character actor.

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.

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. ❤

This movie popularized the juxtaposition of classical music, especially Beethoven, with violent scenes in movies (i.e. Die Hard, etc.)

Great movie, great breakdown, I got no problem watching it again! 🍻
