Oh my brother, pass the moloko-plus! How could the
star of A Clockwork Orange, a movie "Being the adventures of a young man
whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and
Beethoven," NOT be a hot bad guy? When the camera
zooms out on Alex, the evil leader of a gang of droogs
(that's "friends" for you Russian-language-impaired)
we can see instantly that he's Hot, Evil, and
albeit-false-eyelash-wearing, yes, a Guy. And if all
that doesn't convince you, the huge honkin' cod-piece
he wears over his crotch is a dead giveaway.
Contrary to his (and the movie's) insistence of his 100% malevolent attention to women, there's a light-hearted scene of sped-up consensual debauchery between Alex and two young women he meets in a record store on a lazy afternoon. Pity we can't get too good a look at his naked bod because of the speed at which the scene is played. He's a big fan of the "old in-out", that Alex is.
If the menacing side of masculinity appeals to you in your darker moments, a fabulously memorable scene for such is a slow-motion promenade along-side a flatblock marina in which Alex stalks confidently with his three droogs. In a gracefully lazy segue, he turns on his friends, bashing and slashing them into submission and into the water for becoming too uppity with him. Just a titillating touch of the old ultra-violence, care of Alex, a classic Hot Bad Guy.
(the codpiece just doesn't make up
completely for the fact that he wears a false eyelash)
