![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The idea of control lands solely in Alex’s hands as he controls almost everything the audience sees: through story, cinematography, narration, and characters. Throughout this film, it’s shown that Alex is a big fan of the arts, but he can no longer listen to his favourite musical piece without feeling sick, which drives him to attempt suicide. This act is where the idea of redemption starts to fall apart as Alex is constantly tortured by redemption itself. Alex is kicked out of his home, his gang turn against him, and the man whose wife he raped poisons him. The program works as intended, and Alex is released back into the world, leading us to the final act. The turning point for Alex and his gang happens when they break into a woman’s home to steal her gold, and upon finding Alex, she phones the police his gang bail and the injuries the woman endured from Alex’s attack end up killing her, and he gets sentenced to 14 years for accidental murder.Īfter around two years in prison, Alex has shown a lot of redemption and is offered a chance to leave prison early, however, he must go through a torture program first in order to eliminate him of his sins. The first act starts with Alex and his gang (aka the ‘droogs’) terrorising the public for their own leisure, attacking a homeless man, breaking into homes, harassing and raping women. The film’s overriding theme is about redemption and the saving of the protagonist Alex from his sins. ![]()
