Grab yourself an ipad stand from ipad accessories uk so you can watch A Clockwork Orange with maximum comfort. The dystopian novella the film is based on was written in 1962 by Anthony Burgess. Burgess offered three possible origins behind the title.
The first possible origin for the title was that Burgess overheard the phrase “as queer as a clockwork orange” in 1945 in a London pub and had assumed that it was a Cockney expression. In an essay published in 1972 in the Litsener titled Clockwork Marmalade, Burgess wrote that he had heard the expression numerous times subsequent to that occasion in the pub. The second possible origin for the title is that it was a pub on ‘orang’, the Malay word for ‘man’. The third explanation for the title is enclosed in the novella’s preface in which he explained that the title was a metaphor for “an organic entity, full of juice and sweetness and agreeable odour, being turned into an automaton”. Burgess asserts that “Clockwork Oranges” would be a title “appropriate for a story about the application of Pavlovian or mechanical laws to an organism which, like a fruit, was capable of colour and sweetness”.
