How would you rate this movie?
In action movies, when villains are defeated, we never hear about their distraught and grieving families.
If death penalty alone is FUNDAMENTALLY bad and is morally just as wrong as murder of innocents...
Is this movie any good, and also, how ENTERTAINING is it?
The Russian (Soviet) "Beauty and the Beast".
So Mr Alexander essentially, SPOILERS, both felt sorry for Alex AND attempted vengeance on him?
Has a Ludovico type of treatment from this movie equivalent ever happened in real life?
What you know doesn't matter.
Criminals are sometimes if not always FOOLISH to do bad things and then say get arrested or eliminated in some cases.
Anger doesn't always help, that's just me yeah, but I think I am somewhat RIGHT here.

Based on his reactions, I bet he'll probably be an avid opponent of the death penalty too, but what if Alex, someone who caused harm to him and someone close to him, was about to have it, would he be eager to defend him?
But Sister Helen had a different view, apparently, and nobody challenged so much her views.
"That's the movies for you."
In the MOVIES for the most part, see action movies as the top example, we also see heroes kill plenty of bad guys and THAT is considered a GOOD thing that not only do nobody so much as question but plenty of people actively APPLAUD, and yet with this movie, for instance, even by a legal system with a controversial method, this is what happens and people see it as wrong. Hmm, I wonder, why that is, or is there like a difference because there you have people fighting for their lives and no choice but to do so with deadly violence, but death penalty alone as a system isn't on that level?
And its not even "justifiable killing" or "justifiable homicide" but like straight murder, correct?
So even if you kill a bad guy as part of punishment, its just as bad as him killing innocent people, really?
That's because for them, no matter how bad their relative is and how guilty he is, it is always sad to lose a loved one. But then, one could say something similar in cases someone got killed in self defence or even jailed for life - as necessary and inevitable as it is though. Should all of that be avoided too to avoid making them sad and distraught? And what about some cases where a criminal has no relatives as such?
"Because it's wrong."
Wrong by WHAT standard? And if it really IS as bad and immoral as say the murder of innocents like for instance our main antagonist have committed here, why was it implemented in the law, given that law by its virtue does believe and is meant to be way above morally the criminal elements it intends to punish?
Maybe it does in some or other ways, but in others, not as 100% as some make it out to be.
Notorious well known and also much criticized for his "music" Bulgarian-born Russian male pop superstar Philip Kirkorov even had a SONG "Alenkiy Tsvetochek", and it was one of the most earliest songs of his career, released in 1990, and obviously inspired by this fairy-tale and possibly this Russian animated movie.
Well, yeah, that too. :)
