I hate people who intellectually jerk off to this movie without reading the book. The movie omits the last chapter of the book and thus misses the whole point of the story. It’s a no wonder burgess started to hate the novel when people kept taking the movie at face value.

I've read the last chapter and the problem is that it's really hard to be convinced that Alex is actually going to get better in any way. I know Burgess wanted to point out that he didn't even have the possibility of real reformation under the Ludivico treatment, but he is so thoroughly sociopathic through most of the book that all I can think is that he'll be less openly violent about his mistreatment of others.

Except that’s not the point. The point isn’t about redemption. It’s about the want to change and outgrowing these violent youthful tendencies which is what Burgess was trying to convey through mentioning alex’s other friends growing up and the context of the time and era burgess wrote the book. Does Alex deserve redemption? Fuck no. He’s a sociopath through and through. But it’s not about deservingness. Its about growing up and the organic way we change. The theme is in the title: a clockwork orange.
