      This is interesting because it actually explains what I think can (sometimes) be Fincher's fatal flaw where he ends up right between the two extremes and I don't feel like he's letting me "decide" anything - I just feel like I'm getting completely muddled communication. https://twitter.com/RealEOC/status/1120792722615488512 …

      Am I weird for thinking there really isn't a Kubrick or Spielberg "way"? There are filmmaker's more "detached" than Kubrick and filmmakers more "immersive" than Spielberg, but for me as long as the movie's working I get immersed in it and then removed after.

      This also goes into the stories about how A Clockwork Orange encouraged some assholes to stage crimes from the film after its release. It's detached as fuck but you still get nutty assholes who see themselves in it.

      If I recall, that film was detached from the victims and side characters, not from the main character.

      Clockwork Orange's feelings about its characters seem pretty damn clear, but it gets into the larger problems of Irony TM.

      I always thought that's Alex's MO in the film: ironically "performing" what he thinks everyone else is unconsciously engaged in: and well, he's right. Everyone except some of the victim's and the priest is a sex lunatic and/or totalitarian nut.

      That's likely what the copycats saw in the film: look, someone who "gets" how fucked up it all is - so let's just act it all out like him! It doesn't matter if Kubrick assumed we know it's morally wrong to beat up an innocent man, we sympathize with Alex and his viewpoint...

      I don't think it's that at all, to be frank. I wrote about this with The Joker. It's a power fantasy. When you don't care about anyone and can take, and when you can't be hurt or be taken from (cause you dont care about anything) - you have all the power.

          I do think Alex is engaging in a power fantasy, but I also think he's slyly aware everyone in the film is. No one in the film cares about anyone, really. The droogs, the parents, the creepy principal, the police, the government all tacitly condone violence/sexual lunacy.

          I think Alex sort of just finds it all hilarious and goes with it as an ironic performance: now, this is just my interpretation of his character/the film. But I always sort of think it's a flaw in the film. People like Alex are actually more like The Joker you talk about...

          I hate to say it, but I think Kubrick somewhat agreed with Alex? Not that he's like him at all, but that he thought it was all fucked up and that a character like Alex is just ironically mocking it. In reality, he's just like any of these right wing morons: has selective vision.
