In A Clockwork Orange, musical taste is both aberrant and symbolic representation of Alexs free will, but it is high culture classical music (Beethoven) that spurs his violent impulses (Gengaro 109). Singin' in the Rain is a 1952 American musical romantic comedy film directed and choreographed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen, starring Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds and featuring Jean Hagen, Millard Mitchell and Cyd Charisse.It offers a lighthearted depiction of Hollywood in the late 1920s, with the three stars portraying performers caught up in the transition from silent films . It was the release of Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation in 1971 and its prompt success at the box office which initiated the cult status of CO. To some critics the gratuitous violence enacted by Alex and his gang and the " perverse " employment of classical music in its service are unjustifiable; others following the author's lead hold that the violence enacted by the state in its dehumanizing personality manipulation is the paramount evil.

It also very arguably upholds Alex as more human than those he tortures and those who torture him. It employs disturbing, violent images to comment on psychiatry, juvenile delinquency, youth gangs, and other social, political, and economic subjects in a dystopian near-future Britain.Orange mcanique (A Clockwork Orange) est un film d'anticipation britannique crit et ralis par Stanley Kubrick, sorti sur les crans en 1971.Un commentaire ?
