alternate ending to A Clockwork Orange (1971)
the video ends with the "wonders of love"
placing this at the end defines it as a happy ending. however the question remains if choosing violence is a happy ending?
the video contains the fact that the description of the picture he wants violence so I think the ending should be:
alex jumps from the window crashing his legs. frank first toasts his raped wife and after a drink calls the doctor. frank accuses the government that the suicide was the fault of the treatment. the minister of interior said "this is unrelated".
alex tells his probation officer deltoid, that two cops are criminals in his gang. the screen fades and we see "six months later" the two cops who beat him are patrolling together and alex watches as they pass.
from behind he jumps on one, stabbing a knife into the neck of one and as the other turns to fight he stabs in the stomach. both lay helpless on the ground alex uses the cops truncheon bat to beat them as he chants i am healed i am healed.
this leaving the audience in doubt!
