Singing in the Rain

"A Clockwork Orange": Alex (Malcom McDowell) performs the song "Singing In the Rain" in the movie. Although he only sings the first couple lyrics but not the rest of this song. The meaning behind this song in the movie could be the rest of the lyrics dont make sense to his actual life as it his a happy song,
"What a glorious feeling,
I'm happy again!
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above,
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love!"

It could be forshadowing the unfortunate event that is going to happen to the lady in this scene, but this characters actions just arent making sense. The film could be taking ideas from things that are happening around the world during the time period. from 1950-1970 the world faced communism, McCarthyism which is the practice of accusations, disloyalty, and treason. Also, Malcom-X, Brown V. Board of Education which is a time for African Americans rights, therefore people didnt have alot of trust in the American Government and people were free to do what they wanted. This movie could explain the story of people doing their own thing, with little to no liability as there was much war and our world was a mess with events such as the Cuban Missle Crisis, Korean War, and the rights of people.
