dose any body know why the clock work orange was pulled?

Question

the film was never band it was pulled by the director s.k for what reason

Answer 1

'In the United Kingdom the sexual violence in the film was considered extreme. Furthermore, claims that the film had inspired copycat behaviour were made: the press blamed the influence of the film for an attack on a homeless person and a rape in which the attackers sang "Singin' in the Rain". The film was subsequently withdrawn from UK distribution by Kubrick himself.

At the time, it was widely believed that the copycat attacks were what led Kubrick to withdraw the film from distribution in the United Kingdom. However, in a television documentary made after Kubrick's death, his widow Christiane confirmed rumours that Kubrick had withdrawn A Clockwork Orange on police advice after threats were made against Kubrick and his family. (The source of the threats was not discussed.) That Warner Bros. acceded to Kubrick's request to withdraw the film is an indication of the remarkable relationship Kubrick had with the studio, particularly the executive Terry Semel.

Whatever the reason for the film's withdrawal, it could not easily be seen in the United Kingdom for some 27 years. The first video and DVD releases followed shortly after Kubrick's death.'

Answer 2

Face is the section that concerns because that's the section you specially ought to manage all day- an usually happening body might want to suffice. I look to delight in a good body too, yet specially in a "yeah i'd shag her" kinda way. Face remains what truly counts once you're taking under consideration some thing intense. even with the indisputable fact that, a lower than usually happening body is not in any respect good. One's defecit is made up for through personality at that element. An unattractive body might want to be someone who's fairly out of sort, disproportionate, has undesirable epidermis, and so on. i do not provide intense priority to boobs or butts, even with if both or both are good (ideally the latter in my own opinion lol)

Answer 3

i did this in film studies a couple of years ago. there were a few 'copycat' killings that took place when the film was out, Kubrick was so fed up with the perception of his film by certain people....subsequently "in a television documentary made after Kubrick's death, his widow Christiane confirmed rumours that Kubrick had withdrawn A Clockwork Orange on police advice after threats were made against Kubrick and his family."

Answer 4

I understood that Stanley Kubrick didn't want it shown on TV until after he had died. The film was first aired in 2003 on Channel 4, shortly after Kubrick died. It's now regularly shown on Film 4, and was shown on Ch4 about a week ago. It's also available on DVD at last.

Answer 5

He pulled it because it was being blamed for an increase in violence in England. Personally, I think it had ben pretty well played out anyway; it wasn't pulled until a year after release. It was re-released with a couple cuts to bring it down to an R rating (18 rating in the UK).

Answer 6

Not sure exactly, but I understand his reasoning was along the lines of: How society screws people up by making them believe the are always good (religion/school, etc), many people could not take it, as the general society was not ready for the film then, many aren't ready to understand it now...

Who would believe that the Government would try and control people with fear and lies (brainwashing???)...

Answer 7

Because it is an awful movie with no good story, no good plot, sick rape - they filmed nude women aaaaaaall the time, they made the rape scenes so long on purpose just to show naked women some more.

Because it sends a bad message - he never stops raping does he?

Because people glorify this sh*t movie which is sick, because it is just perverted and rape rape rape. In my opinion it just glorified rape too much by filming only pretty girls or something getting raped and filming it for too long.

It's a completely overrated movie. And it is sick that people can enjoy this.

Answer 8

It was 'pulled' as you put it because of the outrage at the time of the film.
Mary Whitehouse was working in full swing and there were scenes of a graphic rape, violence and it depicted a lawless society at a time when our own society was fragile due to economics and other factors.
The world wasn't quite ready for it.

Answer 9

A Clockwork Orange was banned in the U.K. in 1971. This unusual move was implemented after Kubrick received death threats and copycat criminals perpetrated crimes mimicking scenes from the movie.

I twas re-released in 2000 after Kubrick's death.

Answer 10

Stanley Kubrick didn't want the film shown because it had to be censored, so he stopped the film from being aired until it was shown in full.
