Discuss (the book not the fucking movie, let's fix past mistakes)

I enjoyed it. I had seen the movie previously and was grateful to find literary value in the story, which the movie made rather unpalatable, obscured and bizzare.

Enjoyed learning nadsat and reading the book in Malcom McDowell's voice. P.S the film's pristine wtf.

He managed to make the double child rape hilarious, I think that sums the book up well

The film is great but id rather talk about the book. It's a literature board after all

Sounds like an installment of, "When Australians Pretend to be Badasses."

I'm trying not to fuck with the thread, but you gotta understand that people will compare the movie and the book since they're both considered at least good by the majority of the people who watched/read them. That being said, I really liked the book. Unfortunately I've read a translation before reading the original, but it was not a bad translation after all and I really could get the experience of the nadsat being relevant to the universe constructed by Burgess.

I read it when I was a senior in HS when me and my dad had some beef about my drug use. I was all like wah why I can't I trip balls and smoke loud all day I have a 4.0 etc. The whole maturity allegory of the book hit me really hard, and I was like hey man maybe pops has a point.

I'm still a pot smoking ball tripper, but I'm not such a douche about it, and my dad and I are doing well.

What was this thread about again?

>> No.8292796

I liked the novel, but I preferred the movie ending. It didn't seem to me like Alex would turn into a sentimental guy who wants to get married and have a child in a couple of years.

>> No.8292860

Didn't agree with the message but it was a fun read. I thought beforehand that the slang would be a lame gimmick but it worked really well.
