the movie was based on the novel. Having said that, I must say that the novel expands beyond the movie's ending. Alex, after his return from institution, resumes his evil ways for a brief time, but he soon became disillusioned with reality and repercussion that is to come if he insists his delinquent ways. So Alex in the novel vows to live a new, good life.

does this sound like Alex is being redeemed? Because he is.
