A great classic film about youth gone wrong where the justice acted does not suit the crimes.
In the film which was directed by Stanley Kubrick is about Alex who is a punk. He speaks in old english with his mates aka droogs. The film begins with alex committing crimes free until he rapes a woman and later beats someone over the head as they rob them. He is betrayed and sent to jail. While in jail he is sent to this rehibilation program that is brand new and controversial. He is forced to hate his previous life by brainwashing. He is forced to watch his actions by seeing videos simulated to show what he did while listening to classical music. Eventually he cracks and is sent back to the general populus. As he gets out his former droogs find him and beat him senseless. He is then picked up by the husband of the woman who was raped however she died from the rape. The man gets back at him by locking Alex in a room until he attempts suicide while Beethoven is being played. While in the hospital Alex gets better, but he becomes the same old Alex who likes a little in out in out.
The themes that are apart of Sci-fi is that it touches on systematic control in the future. It is not that far off. However there are milk clubs that serve alcohol to minors. There scientists working on fixing criminals for public release. Now this film plays off as a drama, but it is very much more. It is a film about how one can have their demons and be changed. However, we always them within ourselves regardless of how you may be changed.

In five years 4K, 5K, and dear god 28K projectors will be out. The RED camera will surpass film. Film itself will be gone.
Yet past that in fifteen years things going with the media will be something only science fiction could make. By this I mean there will be electronic newspaper. This will be a newspaper you buy that changes with the most up to date information. Regardless of the iPad being soooo amazing which is a crock of shit by the way. Now the iPad is not new technology because we have had this type of thing available, but only in medical professions and with the army or Japan. Boooooo. With this type of newspaper there will be more pushing of 3D devices. We will no longer need the glasses because we will have the option for an implant which allows the brain to read this type of image distortion without the need of a seeing device. People will have to pay $10,000, which going with the current economy and the drop of the dollar, will be a cheap when you add inflation. I will be able to use my cellphone as a tv, computer, key to my car, remote control for my tv, dishwasher, windows, lights, sink, oven, etc. Really the media of the future will be in people's hands, but the government will have tight and I mean tight security so no one can penetrate us unless that person is some kid from China who quit school to become a computer hacker.
In 50 years I'll 72 years old and pissed off with my back looking like the Rocky Mountains. Now with technology the idea we get from Ghost In The Shell will become a reality. People will be able to put their brains to computers. They could live forever. Genetically altering oneself will not be uncommon. Most people will change their organs instead of their outside appearances. This will be the new plastic surgery. As for wars. They will be fought by ground, air, water, and internet. The U.S. will be hit without a doubt. Then some kids who are only 13 will be brought in to fight some 13 year old kid from China who is a hacker. They will play scrabble but only in HTML or HTML5. Hell they may even go back to MS-DOS for the fight. Old school name drop.
All I feel grim of the future, but hopeful.
