*the movie A Clockwork Orange*
why your parents let you young ones watch this sinful movie i'll never know
yes it is indeed the second scariest movie ever because it glorifies rape and murder
and it says it's OK to imagine yourself beating jesus
for goodness's sake, why you young kids are watching this, i don't know. but you need to stop.

Wow, did you miss the entire point of A Clockwork Orange. I'd offer you my copy of the novel, but I hesitate to slow your quest for fire.
"I only read the plot of the movie on IMDB, but what the hell are you talking about?" Alex reads the Bible at one point, and loves it. He loves it because of all the rape, murder, and brutality, and there's a short scene of him in Roman armour beating the tar out of Jeebus. So Yeah.
"Missing the point" award?
By that same logic, the bible glorifies rape, murder, genocide, more rape, bestiality, torture, and beating children to death with stones. Because, according to your logic, contains=glorifies.
Your logic is broken. Take it back to the shop for a replacement.
The number of parents who would let children watch it is very small.
But what it had to say was that one should take responsibility for oneself, among other things.
Also, I think Alex DeLarge liked the Bible for the same reason most fundies do--for the rape, murder, and horrible violence.
"yes it is indeed the second scariest movie ever because it glorifies rape and murder"
It doesn\'t "glorify" either of those things. But since you consider it the "second scariest movie ever," I have to ask: Which movie DO you consider the "scariest movie ever?" Seriously. I\'d like to know.
It IS pretty damn violent, and I wouldn't want any little kid watching it, but it has a message, and that message isn't anti- or pro-Bible. Stop reading into things.
I can see why this guy is concerned, but...
Alex, the central character of A Clockwork Orange, runs around stealing, swearing, doing drugs, raping and beating people up (one of them really is Jesus, I'll admit)...and you think the fact he's shown as being a total psycho will ENCOURAGE people to copy him?
@Marsten: Yikes, if this is what he does to logic, no wonder they don't let him return it.
I was severely disappointed by A Clockwork Orange .
There were no oranges in it at all, and the few clocks that were in the movie were shown from the outside .
That's false advertising! Almost as bad as the total and complete lack of monkeys in Twelve Monkeys .
This isn't fundie at all. He's talking about kids, and he's right. No way in hell anyone under probably 16 should watch that film; they won't understand it and they WILL get the wrong idea. I didn't see it until AP English when I was 17, and even then it was a lot to process, both in terms of moral messages and visuals. It's an incredible, seminal piece of art, but because of this, it's a lot to process.
What young kid is going to sit through A Clockwork Orange?
Ooooh, you mean "young" college-aged adults, or even high school students. Well, don't worry about that; most of them aren't as dim-witted as you, Olivery2k, and so they're more likely to get the actual point of the movie.
To whoever says it isn't a movie for young children, open your minds a bit. If a little kid is smart enough to sit through it and get it, why not let them watch it? Most little kids, or even teenagers, aren't going to sit and watch it for very long. I first saw it when I was 15, and it's my favorite movie, and I'm 19 now. My cousin saw it when he was 12, and it just bored him out of his mind.
But is it really going to harm a little kid to watch it? No. They'll probably get bored and go do something else.
@Bass X0 I read that too. :/.
A Clockwork Orange isn't meant to be taken literally, just like another particular work of fiction. If you did take it literally you'd miss the whole point and some of the good things about it...
There was me, that is Anon-e-moose, and my many droogs, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old verbal ultra-violence.
Viddy well, olivery2k, while I and my FSTDT droogs make up our rassoodocks about how we should verbally beat the cal out of you. A swift intellectual knee to the yarbles, perchance?
You & your kind could do with a session or three of the Ludovico Technique, whilst being read the nastiest aspects of the Old Testament.
@anevilmeme
"So what's the scariest movie to a fundie? Inherit the wind?"
That, and "Dogma". Or "Monty Python's Life of Brian".
Odd thing is, I havent heard of any violence or rapes connected to a Clockwork Orange (book or movie)
Huh! Maybe smart people get it
First off, you're completely missing the point, secondly, who the FUCK would let a young kid watch that movie?!?
"Beating Jesus"
"yes it is indeed the second scariest movie ever because it glorifies rape and murder"
Living under a stone, much? You've clearly never seen the Japanese film "Audition". Or the "Hostel" films.
And ever hear of the two "Human Centipede" films...?! >_< XP
(Trust me o good peeps of FSTDT, you don't need to watch the latter, neither. There are some things that the human eye weren't meant to see; even if it's just visual effects. )
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
