A Clockwork Orange (1971)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Stanley Kubrick
Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Michael Bates, Patrick Magee, Warren Clarke
After trying to committ suicide from the old man's house he is at the hospital then is made to be a victim in the press because the treatment was cruel . At the end of the film he is "cured". In the book there was an extra chapter not included in the film because the amercian publication of the book didn't include it. It was cut because Amercian publishers didn't like how Alex was "cured" by coming of age (turning 21).
Continuity mistake: When Alex and his droogs come in on Billy Boy making ready to rape the young girl, the first shot shows the lacing of a shoe or sandal on the girl's left calf, but afterward it jumps to her right.
Trivia: According to actor Malcolm McDowell, director Stanley Kubrick was concerned that the Droog attack on F. Alexander and his wife would become just another dark, cruel and violent scene in a movie that was already full of dark, cruel and violent scenes. Kubrick wanted the Alexander home invasion to stand out as genuinely horrifying, but he was at a creative impasse. After Kubrick shut down production for several days to ponder the problem, he thought of Alex dancing during the attack. Malcolm McDowell suggested dancing (and singing) along to "Singin' in the Rain," as it was the only song to which he knew all the words.
