![]() Kubrick was able to create a movie where he left his personal seal. There’s no doubt that A Clockwork Orange is a cinematic work of art. After all, this is the best-known one and it strays from the book a bit. ![]() ![]() Much of that was likely the result of having to stand in for the travel-averse Kubrick on the "A Clockwork Orange" press run and field harsh questions about the film's perceived degrading impact on that age-old concern of the ill-informed: "society." But there was also one major difference between Burgess' original novel and Kubrick's film that may have been more of a sticking point for the author than he let on. A Clockwork Orange is based on Anthony Burgess’s eponymous novel. Set in a near future where youth violence thrives and punishment is. That said, though Burgess initially seemed impressed with Kubrick's efforts, telling the press, "This is one of the great books that has been made into a great film," he eventually soured on it. A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian novella by Anthony Burgess, first published in 1962. Gus Hasford, author of "The Short-Timers," which formed the basis of "Full Metal Jacket," was not happy with what he saw on Kubrick's set, and Stephen King famously hated the filmmaker's adaptation of "The Shining." But, with "A Clockwork Orange," Kubrick remained remarkably faithful to Burgess' vision. ![]() ![]() Kubrick respected Burgess' novel greatly, calling it "brilliant and original." That's not to say he didn't feel similarly about other source material he worked with, but the director also had a knack for disappointing the originators of that material. ![]()
