I dont know why but I have a natural emuation for A Clockwork Orange, it is common umung other people I know to like that film/book also, and to copy the language.
Why is this?

Is this film becoming a cult thingy. I'm not surprised.
The film clearly adresses the problems of violence in our society.
In my opinion the use of violence in our society is a development clearly related to the Culture of Death.
Violence and the Culture of Death, choosing killing as a means to solve human problems, are allies.

Hello my little droogs!
You may all know me as Phlabibit.... but before I became Phlabibit for chess at this site.... you may have seen me as 6655321 playing deathmatch Quake, Quake2 and Halflife online....
6655321 was Alex's prison number in the book, I think his prison number was 655321 in the movie.
Oh, and it is not becoming a 'cult classic', it already is.
I tried to call my mother also, she either dated the guy who wrote the book, or the guy who directed the movie... not sure wich, but I'll find out.
Oh, my! I don't think it was Stanley Kubrick!!!!!!!
I'll find out what she was talking about!

Originally posted by ivanhoeIn the book, there is an incredibly diverse and interesting language based on mixing normal Russian words with a lot of English slang in very clever ways. For example, Alex and his droogs use 'horrorshow' to mean 'excellent'. However, the similar Russian word is ???????, which is pronounced 'khorosho'. Even more cleverly, this reflects the tendency in slang English to use words like 'bad', 'ill', 'sick', 'crazy', etc in positive ways.
I don't remember. I saw the film a long time ago, with subtitles.
Why do you think the language is important ?

Originally posted by royalchickenIn my view this could reflect the tendency in society's thinking to rename, redefine a lot of fundamental traditional Christian notions of what is bad or evil as being good. To turn things upside down seen from a Christian perspective. I always wondered how little kids growing up experience the notions of what is called the Culture of Death. What does it mean and what does it do emotionally to a young child hearing for the first time that it is OK , according to the Culture of Death, to kill a child in the mother's womb?

Children tend to rebel using violence and a certain language against a society they feel as unjust, without being able to tell exactly what's wrong.

Originally posted by Brother EdwinI wonder when he split up with said wife!? Yes... I'm almost 40... so she's a good 65 or so.
Dude, your mother must be old if she dated A Burges. He wrote it in the sixtees and he was marryd long berore that.
I'll find out her story and let you know what she was talking about. I could be way off... perhaps she dated the publisher or the key grip from the movie!?!?!?
Not sure, but I know she dated someone having to do with A Clock Work Orange....

If you search the <Debating Forums> you'll find threads dealing with the subject. Also try googling on it. There'll be more than just a few hits. After that try googling on "Culture of Life".
...... don't be disappointed though.
