More prediction from the entertainment media in the form of Kubrick’s dystopian masterpiece A Clockwork Orange from the early 70s. Looking suspiciously like the world we are living in today.
Brilliant analysis by Empire of the Mind:
For a hundred years now, we have been fascinated by DYSTOPIAS: nightmare-visions of environmental disasters, squalor, societal decline, or tyrannical governments maintaining complete control over a society—whether through brute force, propaganda, censorship or denial of free thought, brainwashing, or all of the above, leading to the complete loss of individuality.
But in this ever-expanding genre, there is one dystopian film that stands out as horrifyingly unique, breaking the mold, and creating a dystopian world unlike any other—except maybe, potentially, our own.
Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film adaptation A Clockwork Orange follows the deviant peregrinations of a young criminal named Alex Delarge, as he navigates a dystopian of version of London, England. This video explores the nature of crime, government, and culture.
Why does authoritarianism fail to create safety and prevent crime? Can democracies be totalitarian? What makes policing ineffective? How do liberals respond in a world where liberalism is falling out of favor? How does culture, art, and architecture reflect the character of a society? Are their similarities between A Clockwork Orange and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World? If so, what do these classic novels have to say about our own societies?

Hi Martin!
This movie is an all-time masterpiece, and its analysis is of similar social-critical high quality — which should always be shown and/or advertised together with this movie, because the very real extreme violence (not of the exaggerated primitive bloody Hollywood style) can become an example for undereducated criminal youngsters (I once made this mistake by recommending it to such a youngster, who then became worse, and years later even murdered my horses…).
To present this analysis reflects well onto Uncensored website & magazine…
Greetings, Fritz
Thanks Fritz. I’m always looking for movies and fictional books that contain prescient or predictive information. A Clockwork Orange is one of my favourites. I’m always amused by the “Drenchrome Plus” milk that obviously references Adrenochrome, years ahead of the topic finding its way into alt. media circles.
