Did you see "A Clockwork Orange" when it first came out, circa 1973?
I think it was rated NC-17 when it was released and very controversial. Fifty years later, it would probably only raise a few eyebrows.

@biandlargeny the lawlessness i understood, the correction was pretty extreme

@AnnSteve probably. I saw it again many years later with a totally different take on it.

I saw the original almost 20 years ago. I doubt they could show it today. The rape scenes were far too realistic. That is why they were edited.

@ProfessorPlum77 The home invasion one as I recall it was near the beginning. I was upset my husband was hard.

@DallasCowboysFan I am rereading "1984."
DallasCowboysFan · 61-69, M
@ProfessorPlum77 When it was published, 1984 was science fiction.
Now it looks like reality.
The world was divided into 3 alliances.....like today......US and its allies, China with theirs, Russia....
Ministry of Peace responsible for war - our Dept of Defense keeps starting wars everywhere in the world
Ministry of Plenty - rations food - now we have China and Bill Gates buying up all he farmland and taking it out of production
Ministry of Truth controlled the media - just like the MSM - Biden wanted to create a special WH position for 'Disinformation'
Ministry of Love arrested dissidents - Bill and Hillary have friends that die prematurely around them when they become a threat and everyone someone disagrees with the Dems they are racist or they are creating a hate crime
1984 looks a lot like 2022.

I don't think that movie would get made today. Too much violence; "offensive". Particularly the "Singing in the Rain" scene.

@Heartlander That is very true!

I saw it in early 1972. It was rather shocking at the time, but it would seem rather mild today.

@SoulAsylum Interesting.

I've never actually seen it but I know what the movie is. Ironically my mother who is pretty sensitive saw it in theaters I think and "thought it was weird". That's all she said about it. I've wanted to see it before but I never got around to it and now I've lost interest these days.
