Trying new ideas based on an old film. Hope you enjoy.

Hi, Jarmo,

I don't care for it.

Best regards,

Doug,

I know Clockwork Orange a fs
Out well regarded movie, but somehow missed it. Presumably you are better attuned to its idiom. So what is it about Jarmo’s Picture that missed so far that you have nothing to like about it?

I am starting to make up for my somewhat dismal education in all things “Clockwork Orange”; this, from Britannia:

A Clockwork Orange, novel by Anthony Burgess, published in 1962. Set in a dismal dystopian England, it is the first-person account of a juvenile delinquent who undergoes state-sponsored psychological rehabilitation for his aberrant behaviour. The novel satirizes extreme political systems that are based on opposing models of the perfectibility or incorrigibility of humanity. Written in a futuristic slangvocabulary invented by Burgess, in part by adaptation of Russian words, it was his most original and best-known work.

I only see Doug's reply in Asher's comment. A glitch on the page, perhaps? Something special bothering you in my picture or just not to your liking?

My reaction was too deep for Doug’s comment to thr effect that the picture didn’t do a thing for him. I thought it might be a complex literary conflict and I was not in a position to have an opinion as originally when you posted, I knew so little about the movie.

But Doug wasn’t expressing anything more than the picture didn’t work for him in thr simplest sense possible.

However because I now had my interest piqued by his reaction, I have started studying writings about Kubrick’s movie,
“Clockwork Orange”.

Here is the look of the futuristic punk in the movie:

…and here’s your picture, Jarmo

As I now understand so much more, it’s obvious that your rendering is fit for the dystopian youth in that famous movie.

I like the added rebellious nose piercing! That extra flair’s entirely apt.

So after my circuitous journey I can say Kudos, job well done!

No glitch. I deleted my original post, as it seemed to have been inappropriate.
