Yes, absolutely, one of the nastiest scenes ever. The whole thing being prefaced with the beatings as Malcolm McDowell performs an apocalyptic version of "Singing in the Rain" is absolutely chilling; really throws one off kilter emotionally.

For those who enjoyed the film at all on any level, you simply must read the book as it much more fully fleshes out the real meaning of what is going on...namely, is it right to commit atrocities in order to prevent them?
