    A Clockwork Orange

    Karl is being held in a room with a brain washing video playing. He is drugged and strapped down. He has a pair of goggles over his eyes to keep his eyes open.

    In A Clockwork Orange the main character, a young boy set on a binge of violence, becomes the subject of a treatment program called the Ludovico Technique.  The technique itself is a form of aversion therapy, in which Alex, the main character, is given a drug that induces extreme nausea while being forced to watch graphically violent films for two weeks. Among the films shown are propaganda films such as Triumph of the Will, which includes Alex's beloved Beethoven. He pleads them to remove the music, but they refuse to edit it, saying it's 'for his own good', and that the music may be the 'punishment element'. At the end of the treatment, Alex is unable to carry out or even contemplate violent or sexual acts without crippling nausea. He is also unable to listen to music by Ludwig Van Beethoven, especially his Symphony Number #9, without experiencing the same jarring physical reaction.
