"Sleeper" and "Clockwork Orange"

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how on the surface, the two movies "Sleeper" and "A Clockwork Orange" have absolutely nothing in common. One is a comedy fraught with amusing skits, while the other lacks any such light moments and is not an easy movie to watch. However, this paper shows that both movies are unarguably political in nature, and their themes are darker than they appear to be. They deal with subjects that are at once controversial and significant. What the government tells us may not always be true, and "politics is indeed a dirty game", are the two important themes that emerge from "Sleeper" and "A Clockwork Orange".

From the Paper:

"There is an element of deception in illustration of stories, which might make the movies appear simpler than they actually are but for regular moviegoers, it is easy to unearth the darker undertones. For some odd reason, both movies leave you with a negative feeling and a heavy heart despite Allen's movie being a comedy. Its slapstick humor fails to remove the thick clouds of political messages that are bombarded at the viewer and similarly Clockwork Orange doesn't even attempt to mitigate the heavy impact. It wants you to see the movie in its true light and understand the gravity of its messages."
