A Clockwork Orange

Alex in "A Clockwork Orange" is Kubrick's most evil creation. He even dreams about torturing and crucifying Christ, he hates people so much. And yet he is the slave of a government that can abolish crime using psychological conditioning methods. In this movie Kubrick tells us modern art and cultural values are dead or dying, as well as any religious belief that would support a system of moral behavior based on free will. This is not futuristic science fiction or anti-utopia, it's absolute film noir. So extreme that it made the writer of the novel it is based on, author Anthony Burgess, complain about its "negativity.".
