Clockwork Orange, Singing in the Rain

              A Clockwork Orange is on my top ten favorite movie lists. As being a huge of Stanley Kubrick and his work I know that exact reason why alex sings, singing in the rain while he is raping and beating his victims. It may not be the most exciting reason but Kubrick stated the reason why Alex sings that song. McDowell, who plays Alex, was the one who actually chose the song. Kubrick left the decision up to him. McDowell chose singing in the rain only because that was the only song he knew all the lyrics too. I know, its sucks, stupid reason to choose the song, but Kubrick shared this with the public in a written interview about 1 and half ago. Ironically, when Gene Kelly saw the movie, he never spoke to Kubrick or McDowell again. Shitty reason but, indeed is fact.
