clockwork orange book?

Question

I recently had a sudden interest in this book, and I'm the type of person who is pretty easily disturbed by things i hear or see in movies and stuff, but books not so much...but even so, I love to read, and would hate to miss out on this book. But I have to know, as I've heard the movie is very disturbing and grisly: is the book equally? How much is in there that someone ilke me can or cannot handle? don't ruin it for me obviously but i would definitely apreciate any warning/advice. cuz trust me: if it's that bad, i will probably be disturbed for awhile. you wouldn't want that to happen, woul d you?

ps- just how graphic is the film?

Answer 1

I am easily disturbed by violence. Even grisly movie previews for horror films will disturb me for days on end. However, the book A Clockwork Orange was different. The author, Anthony Burgess, created his own slang language (called Nadsat) specifically for this book. One of the reasons he created Nadsat was to soften the violence of the book; he said that without it the book would have been too violent, but that the slang language was able to soften it for the readers. Yes, this book is very violent but there is a message in it. It is hard to get into the book at first because you are trying to get the hang of the Nadsat language but once you start understanding it more the book really shines. I'd definitely recommend it.
On the other hand, the movie is VERY violent and graphic, I would not suggest watching it if you are easily disturbed. Also, the movie leaves out some very essential parts that were vital to the story. As I recall, Burgess was slightly upset at the end result of Kubrick's film, because it left out some of the most important parts of the novel. The movie definitely glorifies the violence, while the book, also being violent, also focuses on social issues and other topics.
So to make a long answer short (too late) I'd recommend the book, but not the movie.

Answer 2

maximum videos that are created from books are not that great. I easily have not considered one yet that I loved extra effective than the e book (besides the actual incontrovertible truth that there are some bookfilms that I do extremely like, alongside with A Clockwork Orange). the really component that I easily have considered it truly is extra effective than the books are the Brother Cadfael mysteries. the television shows are strong and interesting, inspite of the indisputable fact that the books are dry and tedious, not nicely worth wading by. ACO change into replaced contained in the movie version to slot the time period it change into in. the full very last financial disaster or so change into skipped over to furnish a diverse impact of the nature and the suitable result. Burgess himself has reported in some interviews that the suitable result and the topic of the e book change into diverse than the movie version. I a lot desire the e book.

Answer 3

I saw that movie by accident when I was 13 or 14 (I was sick in bed with the T.V. on) and it was graphic!! There were rapes, murders, and no one was off limits, old people, women, children, it was horrible! And I think the worse part about it was their utter lack of remorse and enjoyment of their crimes. I never forgot that film. Proceed with caution. I Don't know anything about the book, though.

Answer 4

I liked both, the book and the movie. Still, the movie is rather graphic indeed, and it could be disturbing if you get shocked easily by violence.
The book is fabulous!

Answer 5

it's pretty horrorshow and ultraviolence.
