authority and obedience

His films like *A Clockwork Orange* and *Full Metal Jacket* obsessively examine how institutions strip individuality and enforce obedience through psychological manipulation and violence.

His work systematically explores power dynamics, authoritarianism, and social control, particularly in relation to German history and the psychological roots of fascism.

His provocative films like *Salò* and *Teorema* investigate how authority corrupts, how obedience masks desire, and the relationship between power structures and human degradation.
