Alex DeLarge : before and after.
This just popped into my head and I was wondering - illegality forgotten, is Alex DeLarge more morally bankrupt before he begins treatment, or after the treatment for the treatment? [when he's in the hospital and hasn't got the "shock collar" the treatment gave him?]
I mention the legality of actions because, of course, before he's caught, he knows what he's doing is illegal but maybe that's part of why he keeps on?
Or after, when he knows the government is on his side, will the concept of rebellion spread to a conspiracy for Alex, or will he "perform less" because he knows he won't be chastised for his goings-on?
Sorry this is not understandable. It works out in my mind, I'm pretty sure.

655321 is bad ass either way. Personally, I think he might even be worse then he was when he was with his Droogs because it's not just for "laughs, and lashings of the old Ultra-Violence" he's going after, it is now REVENGE he is after.
I reckon its like a metaphor for what the they say about jail as a rehablitation environment: It involves the prisoner in with more experinced higher classes of criminals and heavier more corrupt circles than before. And most politicians are little more than suited criminals.

I would've loved to see a sequel also. It would HAVE TO BE Malcolm McDowell no doubt. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to do a remake of it though. Probably would suck though. Nothing could touch the O-G.
