Real reason this was banned

I know that i already noted that but that's the reason i said 'cover' because they needed to justify pulling it

Maybe it was making people think to much and giving the public a peak of something they weren't ready for

It's definitely similar to Goodfellas in that no matter what Joe Pesci or Alex Do, i mean he raped someone FFS, you forgive them because they are so funny and charismatic and you downplay their actions to them just being little rascals, that definitely says something about us viewers maybe not positive but interesting.

What i meant by justifying the violence was i am not saying you should glamourize or enjoy it but in the context of the film which in turn is a brutal portrayal of real society, you can understand how in this sterile world with seemingly no way out besides either being a spineless wimp like his father or join the enemy as an enforcer that these lads act out in the way they did

The Evil in this film came from the Top down not the Bottom up

They create a system where you are taught to behave and obey from early School and by the time you reach adulthood you are ready for whatever soul destroying button pushing shit they offer you and you have to take it and be on your way never saying a word

And if you step out of line then there is a whole industry designed to watch over you and slap you back in order from Teachers, Social Workers, Police, Doctors, Judges they are all different arms of the State and the film points out they are all just blindly following orders and just as corrupt as the people they reprimand nobody really has much Humanity its just about playing your part and going by what the book say's, and it's all to protect the order keep things from ever changing.

Alex is a hero because he is a true free spirit, Albeit a psychopathic one.

That is a Dangerous message for people because it could either make them hopeless and less productive or Aggressively proactive towards the state

It's a prevailing theme in almost every one of his films, it shows the power structures, and the protagonist is usually someone trying to get into the inner circle and mostly failing.

But they ultimately show how and why they can never be penetrated and they are set up to keep there foot on the throat of the common man and we are nothing but pawns and their servants, that is a powerful and chilling message and i can see most definitely why the Elites would consider this a dangerous film, this is IMO why Kubrick stands apart from the rest because his films are the right kind of Dangerous

It's one thing having some youtuber make a video about how they are all out to get us but having the most Prestigeous filmmaker on the planet shine a light is something for them to worry about
