Favorite movie

Like songs, I don't have a favorite movie (neither a book), I just like it. For today, I choose "A Clockwork Orange".

A Clockwork Orange is a british movie directed by Stanley Kubrick, in 1971, with Malcolm McDowell as the main character, Alex. The movie based in Anthony Burgess's novel, in 1962. 
A Clockwork Orange is about Alex's story, a fifteen years old's charming and irreverent boy, who makes a lot of riot with his gang, his "droogies", every night. He received many warnings from police and social worker about changing his behavior, until one night, after raped a writer's wife and stolen his house, he went to an old woman's house, and killed her by accident. He was arrested and sentenced to jail. The plot of the story starts here; Alex is used like a guinea pig for an innovator method: Ludovico Tecnique. This a new rehabilitation method which consist, basically, in a brainwashing, and every time Alex has a thought that stimulate him for doing something "wrong", against moral society, he feels physical pain. His will is destroyed, and he's forced to have a right behavior. He isn't a criminal anymore, but he can't decide about his life, his thoughts, and his actions. He became some kind a machine, without will, like a clockwork orange.

I like this movie because Alex is a charming boy, he has particular tastes in music, he speaks nadsat language, and he has a snake like pet. Also, because it shows how far society can go in it's intention to control itself, destroying people's autonomy if it's necessary.

"But what I do I do because I like to do."- Little Alex.
