...that it was social satire. And (pleasantly) talky!

Funny, just a couple weeks ago I'd seen O Lucky Man for the first time, and now I'm totally impressed with the young Malcolm MacDowell. An actor's actor, and so he remains. (Anyone see him in Heros last year?)

As for that ending, I was told by the buddy I watched it with that the (recently released) last chapter of Burgess' book as published in the UK was changed/eliminated for US release, and that it did take Alex back to his previous violent life -- which is where I had thought the movie was headed anyway. I'll have to check that out.

If you haven't already seen it, try "If..." directed by Lindsay Anderson in 1968 with Malcolm in the lead role.
