This is pretty much me at 3 a.m. on holiday nights...... haha okay I kid. Mm but I really do like being awake in the dark watching silly things on Youtube or reading irrelevant articles I come across while listening to music, when that little bubble of your world is all asleep and quiet. It's strangely comforting. It also does this thing to me where I get really emotional, like in a good way, and every goddamn thing is unfoundedly special. It's kind of like drugs. Think this is when I'm at my happiest.
Anyway, I watched A Clockwork Orange earlier today! I watched it with my mother last year in a Mother-Daughter Movie Night attempt, but we turned it off and went to sleep about ten minutes into the film, during the second rape scene. It was a bit too uncomfortable to watch it together you see.
I think A Clockwork Orange is a really good movie. I love Alex Delarge. Despite all the ultra-violence and the sex crimes and being pretty damn fucked up, he's still got this kind of child-like innocence that makes him really likeable. Perhaps because he's still a teenager. Perhaps because Malcom Mcdowell just portrays it so. Perhaps cause he's apparently a sociopath? I don't know. I need to read the novel! Oh and Alex loves Beethoven. That's.......... cool.
Watching the treatment Alex went through and how he changed was kind of unsettling and crippling and weird. I was actually kind of glad for him when he jumped out of the window to kill himself. He lived in the end, though. I love him in the final scene when the minister's feeding him his steak. So. Fucking. Adorable. (As he also is even in this picture, covered in blood and spat on)
Ottoman by Vampire Weekend because in the middle of the night like this it simultaneously makes me want to combust out of despair and jump out of my window because I think I can fly.
