requiem, requiem,THE WALL!

A Clockwork Orange is a book written by Anthony Burgess, made into a film by Stanley Kubrick. Alex and his droogs waltz around London beating old drunkards, rival gangs, sitting in milk bars. Alex skips school, goes to the record shop, brings a few girls home (much younger in the book than the movie) listens to Beethoven and has sex with them. He's been in trouble with the law a lot. Alex and company go to an author's house and bind the author and his wife, and rapes the wife. Later on, at another house, Alex accidentally kills a woman and the cops arrest him. He is put under a new kind of treatment meant to deter his violent thoughts, being forced to watch lots of violent images. He is put back into society, and maybe the treatment works. The book has another chapter after the movie ends. Definitely read the 21 chapter book, the better ending and awesome language.

 

A clockwork orange is about how youth is posessed with an inordinate amount of energy, but no constructive skills, so it invariably turns to destructive. It's about how mankind, and by extension anything organic, is not a computer or something fixable, and the idea that you can sucessfully reprogram someone is about as feasable as "a clockwork orange".
I'd recommend the book, unless you are easily confused and don't pick up on new languages quickly.
