They weren't raised on the internet where everyone watches five rapes a day.

do these films have much value then anymore considering that they were intended to shock audiences but now can barely raise the heartbeat?

>>85322775
Does predictive value count?

It's unique. The characters are unorthodox. I'm so tired of generic dialogue 2bh

It was a realistic display of violence, therefore more relatable and not as alien to us.

>in the 1970s people were offended by gratuitous violence and its harmful effects on society
>in the 2010s people are offended by not enough niggers in films

really makes you think

Eh, violence was as much of a problem back then as it is now, I think the time we live in is arguably less violent then it used to be but it's harder to escape from it. Which, on one hand, means we can't just turn away from it anymore and have to face it but on the other hand it makes up paranoid and more cynical than perhaps we should be.

I think Clockwork Orange was one of the earlier movies to tackle these issues the way it does, to look at the cruelty and the hipocracy people are capable of and society is capable of.

It's protagonist was a genuinely irredeemable person, which was pretty unheard of back then. Alex was a drug user, a thug, a rapist, a thief and a murderer... and he arguably wasn't even the worst person in the movie!

But it also showed us the society that produced him, a society that was selfish and ignorant. Where the government doesn't respect it's people and where people don't repect each other. And it warned us where such a society would lead which makes it still such a resonant movie.

You say violence is normalized now, I'd argue that only now we're actually engaging critically with it instead of trying to ignore it or blindly accepting it as "welp, these things happen." though too many people still do.

People in the 1970s weren't precious babies.
A greater number of people experienced violence and abuse in their everyday lives because there were fewer safeguards against those things back then. Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer were all roaming around back then.
A Clockwork Orange was loosely inspired by the murder of Sharon Tate by the Charles Manson family.

Jeffrey Dahmer didn't roam around you idiot.
