"Choose life, choose work, choose career, choose family. Choose a big fucking TV. Choose washing machines, cars, CD players and electric can openers. Choose healthy, low-calorie and low-sugar ones. Choose a fixed-rate mortgage. Choose a starting point, friends, sportswear and luggage. Pick a fucking three-piece suit. ..... choose DIY, on a Sunday morning, I don't know who I am. Choose to watch boring programs on the sofa and stuff junk food into your mouth. It can be said that it is the most shameless thing to choose rot and use your sperm to be a selfish kid instead of you. Choose your future, your life. But why should I do this? I choose not to live, I choose something else. What is the reason? There is no reason. As long as there is heroin, what is the reason? "

Mark and his friends chose heroin. They live the most depraved life in the dirtiest corner, taking drugs, drinking, robbing and having sex ... This is the plot of Trainspotting, which is also the reason why it has been controversial for several years. Either you are crazy about it or you hate it. Few centrists exist. The film obviously uses anti-traditional shooting techniques to highlight its rebellious spirit, and extremely sharply raises the question of how young people choose their lives. It has been rated as one of the top ten films that have a great influence on contemporary youth. Dazzling shots and rock music by Lou Reed and Iggy Baup are tantamount to a dose of LSD. We stared at the screen, there. When Mark's needle pierced the subcutaneous tissue, we thought that white chemicals were mixed into our own blood. When a group of people ran wildly on the road after robbery, we felt our hearts beating violently. Almost every scene can be called an unexpected condensed short film.

If this is just a film that blindly exaggerates the depravity of young people, it should be over and thrown into the trash can, but it's not that simple. Every time I watch it, I am caught by a heavy sadness. Behind these young people wandering, I heard them struggling in pain and shouting in despair. Young people, represented by Mark, will not go astray because of ignorance. We should treat them as conscious drug addicts and avoid facing all kinds of boring problems in real life. In a sense, the profligacy of youth is their anger but helplessness. They don't want to repeat the rigid life track of their parents, and they can't find the way they really want to go. They feel abandoned by the whole world like Scotland. This may be a necessary psychological process for growth. We know that sooner or later, we will live like millions of people, but we don't want to believe this is true. The only difference is that we don't have the courage to make a final resistance with youth like Mark.

Finally, Mark betrayed his friends, that is, betrayed the dissolute youth life, and chose the value orientation representing the mediocre normal majority. Does this mean that the director finally compromised with the mainstream society? He melted into the vague crowd, into the faceless, and disappeared, because his tattered youth has come to an end, which is his luck and his sorrow.

Kubrick said: "The theme of this film questions people's sense of freedom. Everyone must live according to fixed ways and principles. When the rights of being a good person or a bad person are deprived, do people really enjoy human rights? " The film mercilessly points the finger at social ideology and shows both free will and social ideology to the extreme. Alex's naked pursuit of violence and pornography is really disgusting and even hateful, but the government's negative brainwashing method of dehumanizing humanity is also extremely uncomfortable. In fact, both personal violence and social violence should be abandoned by a mature and civilized society.

As for the meaning of clockwork orange, the novelist Anthony Burgess said in the preface of the original reprint: "clockwork orange doesn't exist, but old Londoners use it as a metaphor. It has a strange meaning and is always used to describe strange things. "He is as eccentric as a clock" means that he is very eccentric. My original intention is that it marks the application of mechanical morality in a sweet and juicy life. "Intuitively, this title implies an injured person (mechanical and artificial) (the English word" orange "is similar to the word" orangutan ").

The main content of the last chapter of the novel is that Alex finally gave up violence when he grew up, got married and had children. When it was first shown in America, the publisher insisted on deleting the last chapter. Burgess has always been worried about this, thinking that without this chapter, his thoughts could not be fully expressed. Therefore, he expressed dissatisfaction with the novels and movies of the American version of clockwork orange. But then again, Burgess' novels are not first-class novels, but Kubrick's movies are definitely first-class movies.

Friends discuss how to raise money to pay off debts. The idea of "old glass club" is wonderful, super funny, but reasonable.

Eddie came home after drinking, inexplicably opened a door, and heard the robbery plan of the drug dealer next door. Malicious people planned to rob their timid and rich drug suppliers, so the last action of Yellowbird was born-it didn't cost much, but it was next door anyway.

Buy a gun for action. In the drizzle, Tom bargained with Nick. "Is the barrel too long?" The sawn ones are sold out. Finally, Tom bought two antique guns worth 250,000 yuan with 700 yuan.

The robber robbed with a gun with a short barrel sawed. The process is hard and there are many jokes. Of course, in the end, they succeeded in getting a lot of money, a car full of drugs and a traffic policeman. The drug maker has more money than expected, so iron it …

Avoiding the police, the drug dealers successfully returned to their premises, and Eddie and his gang also successfully robbed them. Those who robbed again were full of jokes.

What followed was crazy out of control.

Graduate student-1967

The 1960s was a turbulent period in the West. In the United States, waves of thoughts such as black liberation movement, women's liberation movement, anti-Vietnam War movement and even sexual liberation and hippies violently impacted the old order. This film is a masterpiece of this anti-institutional wave.

Brock and Robinson, two middle-class families, can be said to be symbols of the old order. Ban can be said to be a new generation who was born in the old order, but dared to resist the unreasonable dissatisfaction of the old order. Born out of the old order, Ban was influenced by it in confusion, but he disapproved of this degenerate lifestyle from the beginning. Elaine's pure love awakened Ben, and he was determined to get rid of his decadent life. I would rather lose my new life than compromise with the old order. He finally dared to rob relatives, and finally succeeded, symbolizing the victory of a new generation of rebellious spirit. Most mainstream American movies before the mid-1960s implied sex and violence, and these two forbidden zones were almost broken at the same time in 1967. Bonnie and Clyde is a breakthrough in violence, and this film is a breakthrough in sexual theme. The director satirized the ugly phenomenon of society with a relaxed comedy style.

The montage technique of the film, the sound effect of the combination of static and dynamic, and especially the wonderful performances of the main actors are the key to the success of this film. Dustin hoffman is a famous movie master. Apart from unforgettable performances, dustin hoffman's outstanding contribution to the film industry lies in his breaking the situation that handsome young people dominate Hollywood, which proves that character actors can also achieve great success. In this film, he vividly shows the psychological process of this indecisive and sentimental college graduate from childishness to maturity. This was his first breakthrough in acting, for which he was nominated for Best Actor in the 40th Academy Awards (1967).

After watching the movie, it still gives people endless aftertaste and thinking. Although it is an original film without dubbing, the characters are vivid. The protagonist's character from confusion, degeneration to rebellion is vividly portrayed. It's an Oscar classic.
