I have no idea on what's up the the alternate soundtrack. A 21st century re-appraisal of A Clockwork Orange as a cultural text over fifty years on from both the novel & film. The reason they spent the time and effort to do this to a 50 year old movie is beyond baffling.Īdded later.I logged into HBO Max, and the soundtrack on A Clockwork Orange was just fine, unadulterated. They cut out Gene Kelly's Singing in the Rain and replaced it with more bad computer generated "music" (and again, Wendy Carlos' version of Singing in the Rain never made it into the original movie). A dystopian future London is the playground of a teenage gang leader in Stanley Kubricks stylish, controversial take on Anthony. They cut out the orchestral version of The Thieving Magpie and replaced it with silence (Wendy Carlos' version of The Thieving Magpie never made it into the original movie). They left in Wendy Carlos' Timesteps and Suicide Scherzo, but cut every other piece written by her and replaced them with something that resembles bad 8-bit computer generated "music" from '80s video games.
Somebody (HBO Max? Warner Brothers?) went to A LOT of trouble to remove most of the music from the original film. Thanks for preserving this.for historical reasons.
This landmark book marks both the 50 th anniversary of Kubrick’s film and the 60 th anniversary of Burgess’s novel by considering the historical, textual and philosophical connections between the two.The quality of the archive is very good.
This is the first book to deal with both together offering a range of groundbreaking perspectives that draw on the most up to date, contemporary archival and critical research carried out at both the Stanley Kubrick Archive, held at University of the Arts London, and the archive of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. This is the darkest of satires, exploring the deepest of themes: behavioral conditioning, crime and punishment, and the quote attributed to the anarchist Emma Goldman: 'A society gets all the criminals it deserves. This book brings together a diverse range of contemporary scholarship around both Anthony Burgess’s novel (1962) and Stanley Kubrick’s film, A Clockwork Orange (US 1971 UK 1972). A Clockwork Orange has earned the title of 'cult classic,' and rightfully so.
