The most compelling thing about "A Clockwork Orange" is how closely today's yobbish culture in Britain has come to resemble that exemplified by Burgess' Alex.

I watched A Clockwork Orange twice last night on BBC America (available on DISH). It was probably the first time I have seen the movie since it was in the theaters. I thought the funniest part was the irony of the goofball liberal who took Alex in after Dim and Georgie (now cops, "Jobs for two who are of job age.") beat him up at the water trough. It seemed to me that Burgess was slapping hard at everybody in this book, and Kubrick certainly was.
