In the past month, I've watched 'A Clockwork Orange'....first time ever. I've probably seen five or six clips of in the past, but this was first viewing of the entire film.
It's been on my mind a good bit.
If I were to describe it? British production....1971, and the script basically involves society 'let-loose', with juvenile bad-behavior, violence, tormenting just about everyone, drugs, and there's some kind of counter-drug treatment....with the cure more or less eluding the guy in the end.
Why it's been on my mind? Well....rationally viewing the landscape now across society....this 'Alex' character exists now in reality.
Pronoun people, drugged-up gangs, psychology gone mad, and disturbing trends that seem to pop out of thin air for no reason at all....is a typical day now.
Chinese weather balloons, 5-year boys deciding to have themselves castrated, some drug attraction that makes you remove all your clothing (thinking it's hellish hot) then whomping the hell out of anyone trying help you, people telling you a narrative story which is built on one single fake story but they spend an hour telling you a 40-page fictional 'truth', and then you have some transwoman trying to sell you diet beer that doesn't particularly have a good taste (rice-like).
Woke is the wrong word. Clockwork Orange is the real word to use.
We've simply become a society without boundaries or borders. We don't respect anyone much because we don't receive respect in return. The confusion factor has gone from a one-to-ten number ratio.....to a one-to-a-hundred ratio....meaning we made thing things ten times more complicated without anything in return.
Frankly, it bothers me.
