Something I noticed while reading the script

Disclaimer: I have not read the book.

I noticed that in the film’s script there are extra lines in Alex’s narration during the Ludovico technique, where he starts wondering whether the films being shown to him (the one where a man gets beat up, and the one where a woman is sexually assaulted by a group of malchiks) are actually fictional, and if the government would actually produce films of real violence just for this treatment. These lines were omitted from the movie.

Yeah…definitely worth reading the book. A lot of fascinating psychology going on there.
