A CLOCKWORK ORANGE | ALTERNATE ENDING

[dylanalexander]

Even though this ending is fan made, I like it almost as much as the original. It shows that Alex was always the same deep down despite his "treatment" but the more unpredictable scene where he was having sex in the snow was more Kubrick Style while this version is in a similar theme as the book, but again the book was filled with so much slang that you wouldn't tell unless if it was through a visual medium like this film.

" I was cured alright." Best ending line of a movie ever.

[jameslisle]

I love the original ending, but to have the movie begin and end with Alex’s close up! OMFG!

[ofsweetsandspices]

Everyone: Believes Alex is cured and free from this psychotic persona

Alex: I was "cured" alright... 🙃

[poweroffriendship.]

*Stanley Kubrick:* Wow! This is... this is a piece of art.

[MKM_]

It's like paying tribute to Kubrick's original teaser for the film. Nice.

[Minnie_Bear]

That ending makes a lot more sense to me.

[Baseds_Backup_Account]

This is fucking awesome! Thanks for improving a timeless classic, my friend!

[steemboat]

The original ending's great, but this explains Alex coming full circle better.

[marcoslaureano]

I love how it shows that Alex and the politician next to him are pretty much the same dude. Just as ruthless and just as willing to do violence to get whatever they want.

[haydenscott]

This version is perfect, symbolizes how alex went right back to where he began

[FunGoodFoods]

Holy... the best alternate ending i’ve ever seen. To be honest, this is better than the original...

[robertovaragnolo]

You've probably hit the spot: the circular plot that characterizes many of Kubrick's films would be fulfilled with an ending similar to this one. Alex's orgasmic face is supposed to represent his dream of a full ultraviolent life, while the original ending shows only degenerate sexual behavior. Which, wanting to be objective, it isn't the only aspect of Alex's asocial personality. In my opinion, by questioning what can be defined as the only weak point of the film, the video you made comes very close to what should be the ending of A Clockwork Orange: a frenetic sequence of extremely violent images (among which the "original" sex scene in the snow could also be fine), closing the circle with a toast at the Korova Milk Bar. With Alex no longer dressed as a droog, but with a more "middle-class" outfit. The end that becomes the beginning. Indeed, a new beginning with Alex now completely accepted by society, showing therefore the failure of any statist attempt to change a personality, however criminal it may be.

This movie was revolutionary because it was the only movie that touched on the idea of psychopathy being 'treated'. Psychopathy is the only mental disorder that is still considered to be untreatable.
Just imagine if they invented a drug that got rid of it: how difficult it would be for the patient to readjust to society given all the crimes they committed when 'unwell'.

[andrewwallace]

wow, i much prefer this ending! Great job

[ethanstoeckel]

I love how the ending shows it turning back time to when the film first started in Alex's story through the movie

[Baseds_Backup_Account]

The greatest freaking ending, made even better now. God bless you, sir.

[jazzchameleon]

Even though this is a fan made ending, I think it's actually a much better one than the original and it ties in with the book, it also shows more clearly that Alex is back to being the ultraviolent hoodlum he started as and even with a small budget Kubrick could have made the ending much better. I want to congratulate you on the ending you made. Taking in the fact that you used footage, audio and supplies from the film itself and reversing most of it, it's one of the greatest endings I've seen! I'm not exaggerating here, because I just can't help but repeat the fact that it ties in with the book so perfectly, which obviously isn't a movie's goal, but in this case it would have been amazing. Good job.

[draconusfrigidus]

Funny that this sort of evokes the actual end of the book, as there's one final chapter where Alex basically does go back to his old ways, with a new gang of droogs, however, he finds that while he no longer gets sick from the ultraviolence, it doesn't thrill him the way it used to, which he takes to mean he's 'cured' in the sense that his experiences have matured him and made him realize he doesn't want to keep living the life of a teenage hoodlum.

[michaelangelomartinez]

I'm sure if you had shown this to Kubrick before the film was released this would've been the ending. Amazing job.
