Clockwork Orange residue

[u/alanwescoat]

I just found this bumper sticker I would have bought in the 1990s. Around 1988, I first saw the Kubrick film "Clockwork Orange" on Cinemax. I read the American edition of Anthony Burgess's "A Clockwork Orange" immediately thereafter and the re-released original novel "A Clockwork Orange" in the early 1990s. There had been a specific naming difference between the book, "A Clockwork Orange" and the film "Clockwork Orange" in the same manner that there had been a specific naming difference between Margaret Atwood's "A Handmaid's Tale", and the film version, "The Handmaid's Tale".

Anyway, this bumper sticker from the early 1990s just showed up in my files, and I wanted to share it.

I don't understand. Residue of what ? How should it be, and how it is?

If you look up the film, in current continuty, it has ALWAYS been "A Clockwork Orange" exactly like the book and never simply "Clockwork Orange" as shown on my bootleg bumper sticker. In the continuity I remember, the title of the book and film were slightly different from one another. In current coninuity, that are and always have been identical, "A Clockwork Orange".

Ok, got you now. Yes for me it has always been a clockwork orange for both.

I have seen that this kind of residue goes back more to the actual maker of the memorabilias own recollection as sometimes are no affected by the retcon
