Relationship book and movie, 1st Part

Crystal Montemayor
Anthony Burgess's book A Clockwork Orange was adapted into a movie by Stanley Kubrick. In the first part of the book and the movie we can see quite a few differences and similarities.
In both, the novel and the film, Alex is the narrator of the story, but I actually believe that in the book this narration kind of more "powerful", the way he describes and acts makes you think of him more of an insane 15 year old,  that is not mature and acts really cruel and violent against others without thinking of his actions. On the other hand, in the film is Alex is not as young as in the book, but we see him in a different way because the fact that he is older makes us think that he is conscious about his actions and that the only thing that is happening through his head is madness and a desperation for sex, we don't see as much cruelty as in young Alex in the book.
The first difference that I saw is the way the milk bar was imagined by me and by the creators of the movie. I imagined it more of a traditional bar but in the movie we can see that it is a really fancy and modern bar, there are a lot of statues of naked women in it and it is really colourful.
The next scene is when Alex and his gang start beating up a drunk old man who is on laying the street and in the book Alex and his friends hitter a man who was walking on the street.
Another scene is when Alex and his friends rape a women around her twenties in the theater. In the book Alex a 15 year old and his friends who are around the same age rape a 12 year old. This scene changing IS OBVIOUSLY intentional because of the impact it would make on the public mind and the image that the public were going to have of Anthony Burgess. Just imagine the different scenes, which one would you prefer?.
In conclusion, both the book and the film are recognised worldwide. They both maintained the books essence of Alex's madness and the really weird world he lives in.
