Sound in A Clockwork Orange

First of all, I believe the film was very interesting. The way the director presented the story was formidable.
The scene I selected was the one where the former protagonist‘s friends “taught” him a lesson. They sank his face into the water, while they were beating him at the same time, to make him lose his breath. A mix of sounds was integrated into the scene. He mainly used two types of sounds, one with a low pitch and one with a high pitch. The sounds with the high pitch were music sounds (sound special effects) incorporated as if they were evoked by each of the hits the protagonist received, while the sound with the low pitch was the laughing of the boy who was sinking the protagonist’s head into the water. According to the director’s desires, this mix of sounds was put in to provoke certain reactions in the audience and to accentuate the action occurring there and emphasizing its meaning. The high pitch sounds helped the audience feel the intensity experienced by the protagonist, an approximation to death, while the laughing was put there to show the sadism and madness in those boys’ minds.
Another fact I’d like to mention is that those boys were police officers. A social problem that is still current was presented in this scene. It is an example of how people take advantage and abuse their power for their own satisfaction. It’s an irony, police (law enforcers)-dishonesty, presented by the director in the movie.
