A Clockwork Orange 1971

The movie begins with a young human named Alex, who enjoys causing pain. He dresses in white clothing, speaks in a strange local dialect, and travels in a group of three others who help him hurt people for fun. Their activities include beating strangers, invading homes, and attacking the weak — all while smiling and singing.

Eventually, Alex is captured and handed over to a government program. He is strapped to a chair with his eyes forced open while they show him images of suffering. This is considered a medical solution. The goal is to make him feel sick whenever he thinks about violence.

It works. Alex becomes weak and helpless. He can no longer fight back, even when others hurt him. The system calls this “progress.”

Later, the system changes its mind. They undo the treatment and return Alex to his old ways, praising him again. It’s not clear what anyone wants from him — goodness, obedience, or just quiet. What is clear is that Alex was dangerous when free, helpless when controlled, and admired in both states by someone.

The humans in this film often appear more interested in control than in morality. They are quick to switch sides, justify extremes, and accept strange uniforms if it means keeping the peace.

Conclusion: Earth society is willing to break minds in order to fix behavior, but cannot agree on what “fixed” means. If offered a mind-control system labeled “freedom,” they may install it voluntarily.
