It's four and I have to get up at ten to cut the ####### lawn. I've also been drinking.
Also I enjoy ice cream on a hot day. That is all.

That's an incredible movie and extremly unnerving. It applies to today's world quite nicely. Gotta a pain in me gulliver.

What the #### is wrong with HBO these days? Everyone over 18 needs to see that movie. Top notch Stanley Kubrick film.
good book as well
One of the best. It's quite the horrorshow. Seriously though, adults are careful showing that to youths because of the blatant rapes and beatings. I saw it at 12 I think and while I was pretty mature for my age, the violence got to me and I clearly didn't "get" the film/story/point.What the #### is wrong with HBO these days?

As I said, very unnerving in many ways. But this is a movie that will stick with you and the storyline is really as unique as any you'll find. I did say 18 and above but Woz is quite right in relaying further caution. Not for the faint of heart.

No. I just felt the need to sign that post and that seemed like the best way to do it.

There is nothing "often edited" about the last chapter of the book.
Kubrick omitted the last chapter from the movie, and ends up in a completely different place than Burgess (but both good IMHO).
ETA: Omission of the final chapter
The 21st chapter was omitted from the editions published in the United States prior to 1986.[6] In the introduction to the updated American text (these newer editions include the missing 21st chapter), Burgess explains that when he first brought the book to an American publisher, he was told that U.S. audiences would never go for the final chapter, in which Alex sees the error of his ways, decides he has lost all energy for and thrill from violence and resolves to turn his life around (a slow-ripening but classic moment of metanoia—the moment at which one's protagonist realises that everything he thought he knew was wrong).
At the American publisher's insistence, Burgess allowed their editors to cut the redeeming final chapter from the U.S. version, so that the tale would end on a darker note, with Alex succumbing to his violent, reckless nature—an ending which the publisher insisted would be 'more realistic' and appealing to a U.S. audience. The film adaptation, directed by Stanley Kubrick, is based on the American edition of the book (which Burgess considered to be "badly flawed"). Kubrick called Chapter 21 "an extra chapter" and claimed[7] that he had not read the original version until he had virtually finished the screenplay, and that he had never given serious consideration to using it. In Kubrick's opinion, the final chapter was unconvincing and inconsistent with the book.
