Step 1 : Introduction to the question "6. "A Clockwork Orange" (1971) is a novel that became a controversial movie. Who was the director of this ground-breaking film?"
...1. Anthony Burgess 2. Stanley Kubrick 3. Rene Descartes 4. Agatha Christie Burgess wrote the book but Kubrick had a hand in the screen play. "A Clockwork Orange" was a controversial movie when it was released, as it treated violence as prominent and amoral. Audiences were stunned by an early scene when a man is brutally beaten to the tune of "Singing In the Rain" (1929). The film also dealt with brain-washing and aversion therapy. Although the violence was probably less than the current crop of films, it was banned in many countries such as Ireland, South Africa, and Japan. Kubrick also directed "Dr. Strangelove" (1964), "The Shining"(1980), and "Full Metal Jacket" (1987) and those are only the tip of the iceberg as far as Kubrick's films.
