Kubrick's Clockwork Orange

How does the scene feel?

Violence, craziness.

How has this been achieved?

A gang of young guys who menacing their environment.

Has the mise-en-scene played a part in this?

I like Kubrick's composition. Similarly as in Odyssey he show us perfectly arranged rooms. I like the writer house, which reminds me functional architecture. Everything has its own purpose within the frame.

Is there any meaning conveyed by the mise-en-scene?

The long shadows represents the danger. The prison scene is great and tells that it will not be easy to be here. The car scene shows that the young have luxury (sport car) and nearly no constraints. They think they can do everything, next scene in the writer house. They do the things because they can. Even they have great life and everything for cozy living their behavior attitude is bad and must be punished. I like the end where cured Alex is not able to do violence but everything changed when he tried kill himself. The political context is very powerful, the same party which allowed to use the cure is blamed that it is dangerous due to suicide. The party turn whole situation back to explain that Alex is normal as before.
