I seem to remember this being a kind of "karma" movie, what goes around comes around.

Well... he won multiple state and national wrestling titles, he was the state's tough man boxing three times, his team won the 17-18 year old world series/baseball, high school quarterback three years... state title once, and now he has three girls and sells insurance lol.

Naa... he turned out to be a good guy. I had seen the movie when it came out.. we caught it on tv or rented it or something later on. Wife had never seen it either. She was freaked out by the flick.. but absolutely on her ear about my son's take on the flick lol.

The Ludovico technique is a fictional drug-assisted aversion therapy from the novel and film A Clockwork Orange. It involves the patient being forced to watch violent images for long periods of time, while under the effect of drugs that cause a near death experience. The idea is that if the patient is forced to watch the horribly graphic rapes, assaults and other acts of violence while suffering from the drug effects, the patient will assimilate the sensations and then become incapacitated or very ill either attempting to perform or even just witnessing said acts of violence
