The adventures of a young man whose main interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven. Alex (Main Character) has his own methods to have fun and unload his tremendous aggressiveness and he gets it enjoying through the tragedy and the misfortune of the others. Alex's History, from his beginnings as a morally delinquent until he became a civilized citizen integrated into society after undergoing a treatment capable of eliminating his violent instincts, form the dynamic and shocking movie "The Clockwork Orange."
The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Anthony Burguess. Kubrick's blatant mixture of violence and sex in the film completely shocked not only the critics, but the society in general at the time, in the same way that the novel did in its day. The film deals with the darker side of the youth of its time (violence, maladaptation ...) in the same way as other films.

He is the leader of the gang of drugos, who give vent to their wild instincts beating, raping and terrorizing the population.

PSICONALISIS- ANALYSIS OF ALEX'S PSYCHIC APPARATUS.
Alex's unconscious is reflected in innate impulses of his actions, where his feelings rest, we believe he has many repressed memories that are inaccessible to consciousness, here are all those negative energies of Alex, his instincts that enjoy with destruction and violence , Evidently a product of the society that surrounds him and resulting in aggressive, harmful and merciless behavior. The unconscious of Alex indicates to us the processes and the psychic contents actively rejected of the conscience by intra-psychic forces, like the censorship and the repression. Alex's preconscious system is intimately linked with the affectivity that contains elements from the unconscious that want to progress to consciousness at any moment, Alex has in his preconscious a series of experiences that can come from the conscious by events that have been repressed and arrive here.

Goal of history:
Burgess and Kubrick draw a confused panorama in which we end up not knowing who the victim is and who the executioner, alternating the labels to make them see their uselessness. Cyclical narration projects the revenge of time, the balance of the law of the "eye for an eye": the prison and the clinic constitute the axis vertebral, setting a turning point, a before and after. Alex, returning to his way, meets the vagabond and his old drugos, now become agents of order (what irony). Malherido arrives at the writer's home, handicapped by the blows Alex himself gave him years ago. After all, the past that returns and projects their shadows, habitual resource in the so-called black cinema. It is surprising how Kubrick himself painstakingly plans the scene of the second home: the same frames, the same angles, the same composition ...
