Decent choices....

Just the other day I was thinking about watching “A Clockwork Orange” again...some thing may seem less sci-filike about that futuristic, violent thug-dominated culture, where the perps treated their victims with utter disregard.

Stanley Kubrick knew how to shoot a scene but he mistreated the most important theme words from A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. The words of the prison chaplain, the prison warden, and the victimized conspirator tie the theme of the book/movie together but Kubrick let those slide off without focus and emphasis.

Anthony Burgess understood that taking something organic like an orange or a human and making it something mechanical/robotic is wrong on so many levels including Christian perspectives and proper constitutional government.
