I always grew up thinking I was like Ferris, but now I realised I'm more like Cameron Fry. Lol

In the novel, Alex starts out at the age of fifteen; Malcolm McDowell was in his late twenties at the time of filming. The two girls are "pre-teens;" which they obviously aren't in the movie. Also, the sex isn't consensual; Alex drugs and rapes them when he brings them home. Even Kubrick didn't dare film it all the exact way that Burgess wrote it.

The most unconvincing 15 year old ever! I laughed so hard when his Mum was trying to get him out of bed to go to school. I know he's a bad guy, but probably the most handsome and alluring UK actor

Right, that was in the movie. Let's give Kubrick a break and assume that Alex is a high school senior. It's still a stretch. It's like James Dean being about twenty-four and playing a high school student in Rebel Without A Cause. I think they call that a "Hollywood teenager." At least Sal Mineo and Natalie Wood (born 1939 and 1938) were of plausible ages.

I prefer to remember him as a 29 year old, closer to my age. God damn those VERY bad guys!
