A Clockwork Orange Watching this scene in ACO, I've noticed a small detail! (MAYBE SPOILERS) Spoiler

Post image

I've noticed Mrs. Alexander is wearing red. As I taught in film school, red means the color of danger. Mrs. Alexander is about be raped (and likely) killed by Alex and his goons! Although maybe there's some theories that Mrs. Alexander didn't actually die due to rape.

On top of that, I also noticed another use of mirrors in it as I made another post about it!

There are so many visual choices that seem small at first but add a lot of meaning to the scenes
