Po Mo in the Movies--A Clockwork Orange

A Clockwork Orange

This film presents a dystrophy examination of ultra-violence, social conditioning, free will, and post-industrial alienation.

A Clockwork Orange is a societal work. The first half is a romp through the youth crimes but the second half focuses on the human rights he lost once imprisoned and cured. The shift takes the audience away from direct contact with such an impulsive character. It comforts the audience because they know the film didn't donate to the ideals of its horrific leading character.

It definitely targets human nature, which destabilize the moralities of transitional line.

It no any distinction between culture and society, besides confuses over time and space. For that reason, "A Clockwork Orange" is a wonderful illustration of postmodernism film.
