Why wasn't A Clockwork Orange shown in the UK for 27 years?

On March 17th 2000, A Clockwork Orange went on general release in the UK for the first time. Since 1973 the film had been barred from British screens, and so a whole generation never had the chance to see it, except maybe on a pirated VHS, or in a flea-pit cinema in Paris or Amsterdam. As the ban was never officially announced it took on an air of mystery and conspiracy; some people speculated the British board of film censors were behind it, others talked about the rumours of threats to Kubrick's family.

Here is the true story of the withdrawal of Kubrick's most notorious masterpiece...... A Clockwork Orange opened in Britain in January 1972 amid a great deal of controversy - so much so that it only ran in one cinema (the Warner West End in London) for over a year. After the fuss seemed to have died down, the film went on general release - whereupon the hate campaign in the British tabloid press really started in earnest. Effectively, the film was blamed for every single act of ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
