Movie • 1971 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?

Technically the main character is a child, but it depends which version or media you are using. In the novel, he is about fifteen, but in the movie he is supposedly older, possibly eighteen.

The main character is strapped down with his eyes forced open and is forced to watch what is on the screen in order to cure him of his violent actions. (Aversion Therapy)
There are a lot of electrodes attached to his head and it overall is a unpleasant scene of torture.
