# I think the differences
between those films can be explained by:
Kubrick understood his source novel, Scott clearly did not.

Who cares if Anthony Burgess chickened out in the 2nd edition

# I didn't know that.
I always took the epilogue as an attempt by Burgess to suggest that crime is 'just a phase' and given the chance criminals will 'grow out of it' without the need for drastic re-programming in jail. Might have to dig out my copy and give it a re-read again me-thinks.
