A Clockwork Orange

In the music store, the camera is briefly reflected in the mirrors to the right.

When Alex and the Cat Lady are fighting at the house, the shadow of the camera can be seen on each of them.

When the rampaging Alex is performing "Singing In The Rain," leaning over Frank, his mouth is not moving.

Many of the continuity errors are not in fact errors.

'Stanley Kubrick (I)' (qv) purposely included many continuity errors as a way of creating a feeling of disorientation for the audience.

That is why people's positions change, props are reorganized, and hats (and other articles of clothing) appear and disappear.

Alex's last name is inconsistent (see trivia).

When he goes into jail, he gives his name as DeLarge, but the newspaper articles call him Burgess.

The wine Alex drinks appears far too light in color to be a 10 year old Medoc.

'Stanley Kubrick (I)' (qv) did use the actual wine described by Alex (specifically a 1960 Chateau Beau Site Haut Vignoble).

But after each take water was added, ostensibly to keep the wine level consistent without intoxicating 'Malcolm McDowell' (qv).

By the time Kubrick got what he wanted the wine was visibly watered down.

When the brutal police try to drown Alex in the water trough, you can tell that the water has been warmed because there is steam coming from it.

When the two policemen try to drown Alex in the water trough, we can still hear his voice unimpeded.

At the beginning of the movie, it's cold enough to see the breath of Alex and the droogs, but when the tramp is speaking, we don't see his breath.

After Alex tries to kill himself, we see him in the hospital and he appears to have a bathing suit (or gym shorts) tan line.

Just before Alex and Miss Weathers fight in the health farm, the room is full of cats.

During the fight, the panning camera reveals that there are no cats in the room.

The cats mysteriously reappear immediately after the battle.

(at around 51 mins) The water of the flat lot marina changes in turbulence several times, low waves at first and then less choppy while Dim is falling and finally completely still as he hits the water.

When Alex jumps out of the window, the camera view gives the impression that we are seeing Alex's view of the onrushing ground.

However, he does a flip, winding up with his back pointing to the ground so the camera angle is inconsistent.

There is a running theme of the Government referring to Citizens and the State, implying that Great Britain has abolished the monarchy in this "future".

Yet the prison is called "HM Prison Parkmoor", HM being a common designation for Her/His Majesty.

When riding in the sports car at very high speed, Georgie is not holding his hat, so it should fly off.

During the Ludovico scene, the voiceover of Alex says he cannot move his eyes, but does so later on.

When Alex is licking the stage man's shoe, it's supposed to be filthy but is visibly clean.

During Alex's slow-motion attack on his gang members by the Marina River, a dirty black patch appears---then disappears----on the leg of his white trousers.

When Alex was reading from the Bible, and asks the priest to talk with him in private, we see the priest putting his hand on Alex's shoulder, while in an another cut we see him preparing him self to put his hand on him.

WARNING: ONLY AN INSANE AND IRRESPONSIBLE PARENT WOULD LET THEIR KIDS SEE THIS FILM!! SERIOUSLY!

Clockwork orange is a film that is both disturbing and entertaining. The opening shot alone tells you how crazy the film is going to be and how insane the characters are.

One of my all time favorite films, I have watched Clockwork Orange more than a dozen times, and will watch it a dozen more. Every time I watch it I find something new.

Stanley Kubrick manages to create an incredibly questionable atmosphere throughout the film. Though it may be intended in the novel to represent a future Britain, the film still uses 70's fashion, style and architect, with much stronger and colourful sexual nature.

This is definitely one of Kubrick's best movies.Set in a futuristic dystopian universe in future Kubrick brilliantly captures the story of a psychopathic flawed protagonist Alex who is imprisoned for his violent activities and then rehabilitated via an experimental psychological conditioning technique.

Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange tells the tale of a young hooligan named Alex and his gang of "droogs" in future Britain. Alex and his droogs get their daily kicks from fighting, stealing, violating and listening to their favourite composer: Ludwig Van Beethoven.

Extremely overrated and a cinematic piece of garbage!! I love Kubrick but this movie is an absolute waste of film!!

I had heard about this movie for many years so I finally decided to watch and am embarrassed that I even spent any time watching this junk, which so many 'enlightened types' apparently think is art - or according to some articles that I read. Let's suppose for a minute that the protagonist was a female and little 'Jane' spent her nights sodomizing and castrating unsuspecting males, drawn to her beauty.
