I don't watch tna much and I saw people talking about a clockwork orange house of fun match.Could somebody tell me what you have to do to win and other things about it.
a clockwork house of fun match is a match that Raven created where there is a quarter of the ring has two walls of the six sides of steel with random objects hanging off of it and falls count anywhere
For my costume next year, I want to be Alex from Clockwork Orange.
I am wondering how I would go about acquiring a codpiece like the one in Clockwork Orange. I don't want a standard jockstrap from a sporting goods stores, I want a hard plastic one that looks like the one in the movie.
I was looking for one myself. This is the best I've seen.

You'd have to remove the logo with either white spraypaint or possibly acetone if its just a decal of sorts, but I'm it could be done.
What are some examples of doublethink in A Clockwork Orange? I have to write a paper on it and I can't find any. Thank you.
According to the novel, doublethink is:
“ The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them....To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.[1] ”
Orwell explains that the Party could not protect its iron power without degrading its people with constant propaganda. Yet, knowledge of this brutal deception, even within the Inner Party itself, could lead to disgusted collapse of the State from within. For this reason, the government uses a complex system of reality control. Though Nineteen Eighty-Four is most famous for the Party's pervasive surveillance of everyday life, reality control means that the population of Oceania — all of it, including the ruling élite — could be controlled and manipulated merely through the alteration of everyday thought and language. Newspeak is the method for controlling thought through language; doublethink is the method of directly controlling thought.
Newspeak incorporated doublethink, as it contains many words that create assumed associations, between contradictory meanings, especially true of fundamentally important words, such as good and evil; right and wrong; truth and falsehood; justice and injustice.
Doublethink is a form of trained, willful intellectual blindness to contradictions in a belief system. Doublethink differs from ordinary hypocrisy in that the "doublethinking" person deliberately had to forget the contradiction between his two opposing beliefs — and then deliberately forget that he had forgotten the contradiction. He then had to forget the forgetting of the forgetting, and so on; this intentional forgetting, once begun, continues indefinitely. In the novel's notes, Orwell describes it as "controlled insanity".

I'm doing a school project. I just read A Clockwork Orange and one of the project options is to make a soundtrack with 3 to 5 songs on it and a written explanation as to why. I already have Beethoven's 9th Symphony and Rob Zombie's Never Gonna Stop(The Red Red Kroovy) but I need at least one more song! Any ideas?
Child in Time - Deep Purple (the instrumental is very powerul soft and creeping, then Violent, then soft, then violent again PLUS the lyrics are very badass)
or
Fiddle About - the Who (from Tommy) I think this is a great choice on so many levels - the song is about molestation, but it can be applied to things that Alex does to other people, but also to what the government does to him by way of brainwashing. Seeing the same music played in both scenarios does alot to show Alex as both predator and victim.
What is the acctual Meaning inside Anthony Burgess a clockwork orange, Im talking about the novel btw, so dont talk about the movie, Thanks!(Y)
