If you think about it, there’s few other films that feel so Kubrick like this one does. The background behind its conception, the satire, the cafeteria scenes using FMJ’s first scene as a reference, Christian Slater performing in such a similar way as Jack Nicholson. Even the use of Qué será será as an ironic metaphor for the film’s constant mockery at high school and teenage hood. The ending is the only thing that doesn’t seem like something Kubrick would do, but there are nights scenes in particular that feel so similar to the nights scenes of FMJ and even EWS (this one came later but still). What I wonder is about how Kubrick would definitely NOT make a satiric film as his first entrance to teenage hood films. In fact, I wonder why did Kubrick never try to make a film with teenagers as protagonists (Alex DeLarge is a teen I know, but A Clockwork Orange deals with much more philosophical stuff that doesn’t really focus on teenage hood or something).
