A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 film adaptation of a 1962 novel of the same name, by Anthony Burgess. The adaptation was produced, written, and directed, by Stanley Kubrick. It stars Malcolm McDowell as the charismatic delinquent Alex.
The following is from 4.16 Players:
Fred: “It’s the pictures in my mind that are getting me. I can’t stop thinking about Connor and Cordy, hiding up in that room, imagining what they do up there… it’s like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs.”
Within the film, Alex undergoes an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government to solve societal crime. The technique involves being exposed to extreme depictions of on-screen violence under the influence of a nausea-inducing drug. Alex is unable to look away from the screen, each of his eyes held open by a speculum.
