Yeah Clockwork orange is a bit sadistic.
Since you won't see it which is probably a good idea. Here's a summary of the film from wikipedia:
Set in a futuristic England (circa 1995, as imagined in 1965), the film follows the life of a young man named Alex, whose main pleasures in life are [A title="European classical music" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_classical_music"]classical music[/A] (especially [A title="Ludwig van Beethoven" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven"]Beethoven[/A]), [A title=Rape href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape"]rape[/A], and random acts of "[A title=Ultraviolence href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolence"]ultraviolence[/A]". Alex is approximately 15 years of age and the leader of a small gang of thugs, whom he refers to as [A title=Droogs href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droogs"]"droogs"[/A]. Alex provides a voiceover narration through most of the film, relating his story in a fractured teenage vernacular called "[A title=Nadsat href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nadsat"]Nadsat[/A]", a combination of [A title=Slav href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slav"]Slav[/A], [A title="English language" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language"]English[/A], and British slang (in particular, Cockney rhyming slang). Alex is irreverent and abusive of others and lies to his parents to skip school. His room is adorned with a bedspread covered with rubber breasts, an expensive stereo and classical-record collection, a terrarium containing a boa named "Basil", and a bedside table containing a drawer filled with expensive watches and other swag. In one scene, he picks up two teenyboppers in a record store, discovering that he does not recognize the names of their favorite popstars; nonetheless, he takes them home and has sex with them both (in fast motion, to the [A title="William Tell Overture" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tell_Overture"]William Tell Overture[/A], in a bit of comic relief) on his bobby bedspread.
Eventually, during an attempted robbery, Alex is caught, having been set up by his droogs (he is hit with a bottle and left unconscious at the scene);after his arrest, he learns that the robbery victim had died, making Alex a murderer: he is sentenced to 14 years in jail. After serving two years, he is offered a chance at parole if he undergoes an experimental [A title="Aversion therapy" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aversion_therapy"]aversion therapy[/A] (called the [A title="Ludovico technique" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludovico_technique"]Ludovico technique[/A]), developed by the government in an effort to solve society's crime problem. The therapy renders him incapable of violence (even in self-defense) and incapable of even touching a bare-breasted woman(he crawls away retching), but in an unintended [A title="Unintended consequence" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintended_consequence"]side effect[/A], also makes him unable to enjoy Beethoven's [A title="Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven)" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._9_%28Beethoven%29"]Ninth Symphony[/A]. The doctors whisper to themselves that 'it can't be helped' and that this is 'The punishment element, perhaps?'
Stripped of the ability to fight back, and having been rejected by his parents at home (they have rented out his room to an older man, discarded his stereo and other treasures, and apparently killed his pet snake), Alex wanders through the city, revisiting scenes of his crimes. He soon encounters two of his former partners-in-crime (who, having both joined the police, beat him up and nearly drown him), and some of his former victims, who turn the tables and victimize him. He then goes to the home of the writer whose wife he had raped and beaten: the writer offers him hospitality, then learns who he is, and drugs him and tries who drive him insane by playing an electronically distorted Beethoven's Ninth (Second Movement) at a painful volume. Alex tries to commit [A title=Suicide href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide"]suicide[/A] (or "snuff it") by jumping out a window, but survives.
After a long recovery in hospital, Alex seems to be back to his former self. While in the hospital, the [A title="Interior minister" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_minister"]Minister of the Interior[/A] (who had personally selected Alex for the Ludovico treatment) visits Alex and apologizes for the treatment program, saying that he was only following the recommendations of his staff. He begins by rolling in a new, costlier stereo, playing the finalé of Beethoven's Ninth (Fourth Movement) loudly but below the threshold of pain. Alex is then promised a position in the government if he agrees to campaign on behalf of the ruling (Conservative) political party, whose public image has been severely damaged in the wake of Alex's suicide attempt. The closing shots of the film feature Alex's voiceover saying "I was cured, all right...", possibly anticipating his return to creating havoc. The film ends with Alex's [A title=Surrealism href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism"]surreal[/A] fantasy of having sex with a woman in the snow, surrounded by applauding [A title="Victorian England" href="vny!://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victorian_England"]Victorian[/A] ladies and gentlemen, with the finalé of Beethoven´s Ninth continuing to play in the background.
