Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess novel is so well done as a satire against British Socialism in the 1960s. Well ahead of its time. Striking parallel to what's happening in US today. All the violence and lawlessness with no penalty to the youth for misdeeds Or very light penalties. Shows how the government fails when it tries to solve all our problems.

Most of the people who hate this movie are those who refuse to learn the truth about how our nation has morphed over the years. Bear in mind that sometimes the facts are ignored by those who refuse to recognize what is really happening in society. Only when we look back at our history can we compare what is transpiring in our nation. When our Supreme Court ruled to remove God, Prayer, and patriotism out of our educational system was when the real damage long term occurred. However, it began long before that but in a more subtle way within the realms of our government with the progressive movement and lean toward controlling people through propaganda and laws designed to keep people oppressed and suppressed. Classic Marxism contaminated our educational system and is now rearing it's head throughout our nation. Many of the comments I have read are seen through blinders and without objectivity. Being a conservative, I agree with most of the core of the film. Not because I despise the other point of view, but because I struggle every day wondering where the country I grew up in in the 50s and 60s has gone. We no longer care about our neighbors or strive to think for ourselves and are complacent in believing that everything is ok - that we shouldn't worry. That's what our leaders back in the Hitler era thought. We almost waited too long to get involved. I believe that there is a Tsunami coming in the form of a violent revolution and I fear it will have a horrible effect on us for a long time if not forever. I can only hope this next generation wakes up and goes back to fundamentals so that we can continue to be the home of the free and the land of the brave. God Bless America and God Bless the USA.
