Singing In The Rain

Singin' in the Rain (1952) Original

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

A Clockwork Orange Video


 After viewing the two versions, it's amazing what a difference 19yrs can make. In the original "Singin' in the Rain" the song was sung full of joy and innocence. Unlike "A Clockwork Orange" version where the character Alex is beating people. The 1970's brought very radical movements including the exploration and using of drugs. The 1971s "A Clockwork Orange" was a very explicit movie that included a lot of violence, sex, and drugs which were common themes of the time period. The 1950s "Singin' in the Rain" didn't push any boundaries and was more of a film you could enjoy with your family.
