That's...pretty impressive, to be honest with you, anon. I can see how you would be worried about it living up to your expectations, but it genuinely is a VERY good movie. I also think you seem to have got a good handle on the themes so I don't expect it would contradict you or anything. On balance you should probably go for it! I found the book so difficult I literally had to read it out loud, but if you want to truly understand the effect of the language I think you do have to give it a go.

Also, given the film's release history I suspect you're probably not the only person who has done something like this. And I'm kind of surprised that the other comments are so, well, surprised. There's plenty of movies and books whose influence and themes I could talk about while never having actually seen/read them. I myself knew pretty much the entire narrative and background of A Clockwork Orange before I saw it. (It was still the mythical "banned" movie until I was around 17.) I personally wouldn't pass my insights off as actual marked papers, but hey.
