Sci-Fi History: A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Stanley Kubrik's film portrays a dystopian future in which Malcolm McDowell's character, Alex, displays no sense of morality or empathy. Alex loves classical music as much as rape and intense violence. The immoratlity portrayed is a reflection of the culture at large. The film mocks psychiatry and psychology while focusing on violent youth culture. Some believed the film critiqued communism, but instead examined the extremes from both the right and left.
