Antiheroes In Movies That We Can’t Help But Love

Alex – A Clockwork Orange

Alex is nothing short of vile in Stanley Kubrick’s disturbing film A Clockwork Orange. In the beginning, an ideal night for him consists of drinking some laced milk and proceeding to go on “ultra-violence” spree which consists of beating up old men, fighting other gangs, and brutally raping women in their own homes. Although these may seem like the acts of a disturbed psychopath, in reality, people have more in common with Alex than they first think. He’s actually a very intelligent young man with deep thoughts and real emotions. He knows what he did was wrong which is why you can’t help but feel bad for him during his rehabilitation process and what follows after.
