1984 (9/11) Movie CLIP - Vision of the Future (1984) HD 

"If you have to imagine a future, imagine if you will Winston, a 15 second advert before every youtube clip, forever"

So glad that they actually made a decent film adaptation of _1984_ and released it in 1984.

Richard Burton, amazing actor, tragic figure crippled by self-inflicted failings, years after his prime still managed at the end of his life to breathe life into this performance and be human and monstrous at the same time. He really is captivating in it. R.I.P. Richard, hopefully you found whatever was lacking for you here. And thank you for this final, great, film performance.

What's interesting here (and something I'm surprised more people don't notice) is that O'Brien....never really proves Winston wrong. He just says the Proles are "helpless animals", "we control life, at all levels", and that's it. He never completely diffuses Winston's points, he just makes them seem insignificant and and subtly sidesteps them. So while O'Brien makes it seem like INGSOC and Big Brother will reign for all time, this conversation could be read as an ideological victory for Winston that O'Brien doesn't realize because he's too steeped in The Party's propaganda.

It is saddening to think that Richard Burton here is only 58 and he would die in the same year this film was released.

One of the reasons why Burton excels particularly in this last, most brutally cynical and parched role, is that, as his diaries (recently published and a dismal read,) reveal, he became grossly embittered and bored with every aspect of his life and the world around him. He hated acting, he felt his career had been an intellectual waste and his misery was amplified by his alcoholism. The mixture of cultivation, charisma, cruelty and deadness-in-life that he brings to O'Brien is entirely his own and is scarcely acting.

"Imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever" I repeated that line a million times and it still won't lose meaning

Burton is terrifying. He was a genius. ;-)

Many people who read the book or watched the film(s) of 1984 fail to understand the meaning or rather the ideology of the party, this failure comes from the natural assumption that one or another "depiction of xxxx" is presented. By the xxxx one can see communism, nazism, or any kind of other ideology. However Orwell deliberately presents both extremes in the book at least as being inferior to the Party. The Party is a distillation of not politics of a certain kind into some kind of further development of such, but abandonment of all besides the "method" itself. The Party does not care for some specific political system or ideology, it does not at all care for the wellbeing of some group above another, even of the Party itself. The Party is only concerned with power - power over both the real world and more importantly over the perception of reality and the way of thinking. Hence the Thought Police focuses on "cleaning" the mind of its captors, hence the "boot stomping on the human face forever". It is the power itself that is of any relevance, and from the power comes the extremely simplified concept of using that power over everyone and everything. Imagine a car race is being conducted - some complete to show off, some compete for the prize money, some compete to show off or even for the pleasure of the thrill that racing gives. In that way if "party" is a driver, it is to be part of the race for the sake of racing. In this way the whole world view is narrowed down for doing something for the sake of doing it, as everything else becomes redundant. In a sense this is idealism boiled down to the bare bones of an idea itself, where neither motivation in its common form nor actual reasoning is needed. This is one but few philosophical "nuclear bombs" Orwell drops with the book.

Perhaps Winston Should have said to O'Brien : " Do you hate me or do you love me?"

A future I hope to see! No more families, love, desire, anything! Just pure love for Big Brother and the party!

The late great Burton

If you imagine a future, think about 1984 because that is the future we're heading to if we do not change our ways. Perhaps we are already there. However, we are unaware of this.

left or right. if you believe a politician will 'save' you or make your life better, then you deserve what's coming to u

Not a sequel but a prequel. Where we follow the story of the one who began everything. It would not be big brother, Big brother is an affectation, a fantasy used as a focal point for love just as Goldstein is used as a focal point for hatred. Wouldn't it be ironic if Goldstien was behind it all.

Scariest film ever made.

"Life will defeat you" - Exactly. That's why every era got an end, every ideology failed. Because life wants to live. It's always looking for "channel" where it can flow and that helps life to live. But if the channel becomes a dam, life will wash it away sooner or later. It's the ideology that should support and help the life to live, not the other way around.

Probably not the place or context to say it but::::: beautiful man, beautiful voice. You are missed, Richard Burton.

It just occured to me that O'Brien may have written Goldstein's book, but Winston writes the news. So O'Brien must believe what Winston has written. It doesn't change Winston's position here, but pointing it out would've cracked O'Brien's facade.

He should have asked for another glass of wine.

O’Brien talks a good game. But don’t be mistaken. He has only one purpose here: to completely break Winston. To do that, there is no lie he will not tell convincingly, no depravity he will not stoop to. He will even morph the victim’s sense of reality to break his spirit. That is O’Brien’s job. If he didn’t succeed, he would soon be the one on the rack. All the persecutors of the past used the exact same methods. O’Brien doesn’t tell Winston that. And some of their victims prevailed even under the most horrific horrors and lingering deaths. And yes, they all used psychological horror on their victims as much as physical. And sometimes, even that wasn’t enough. I have read the real-life accounts of people who actually went through torments like this and lived to tell about it, even preserved their principles. One such example was a man named Leopold Engleitner. If you read up on him, you will understand what helped him through and what Winston didn’t have. Orwell was wrong when he implied that persecution such as this can never been endured. It can, but it does take something deeper than ourselves. A private reserve of power that the enemy can never touch.

Let’s be real, O’Brien is the best character.

I see Richard B wasn’t talking with words from the newspeak dictionary

only good thing about the world in 1984 is that in about 5 billion years the sun will consume the planet, ending Big brother and everything else :P

This is what life was like in Kampuchea from 1975-1979.

RU-vid and Google today.

Can't wait to do a video breaking down this scene. 🙃

I finished reading the book just a few minutes earlier. But one thing I can't really grasp...how did O'Brien knew exactly what was going through Winston's mind? Can someone help...

The core ideology of the Party is pure power ("we are the priests of power""), a foundation laid by the Renaissance political philosopher Machiavelli, and his practical, dark and cynical world view of Mankind. The State minus moral or compassion...

Postmodermism. Its incredible!!!

2020

I used to think this is referring to communism (Stalinism especially) but now it seems it seems more likely written for extreme Fascists (if there could be a moderate version of it) and "Ingsoc" is a referrence to national socialism.

One of the most iconic voices ever... Marred by SHITE sound! Sort it out!!!

What if there was a sequel to 1984?

can't hear it??

Can't hear a damn thing!

Power is the only God worshiped by the doctator

That makes me feel much better. My head is crushed, but at least disinfectant was applied to the boot. I am dead but at least my head and face are still clean!

I have translate it to serbian language , can u please list it in subtitles list , thanks .

Is it just me, or do others agree O'Brien have the more convincing argument in this scene?

This is the 9/11 clip.

2021, not 1984

bobby king

The title of this video is really something-“1984 (9/11) […] Vision of the Future (1984).” Y’all must’ve chosen to have 11 clips on purpose.

The past is forbidden. Oh boy THAT sounds like what is happening right now with the tearing down of statues.

Currently, there are scene like this playing out in Belarus. Protesters broken by the state and begging for forgiveness on state TV. I hope the citizens there will find the strength and rise up against the oppressive regime and replace it with true democracy

The only hope for our real future, is the fact that the kind of control they have in 1984 is _almost_ impossible in real life.

37 years late... but here we are where their stomping begins under the guise of saving people and planet...

World of the damned 2021

Now we know that the boot stamping on our face is a rainbow colored boot 🏳‍🌈

NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS!!!

If you want a vision of The Future Winston. Imagine a Social Distancing Boot stomping on a Social Distancing Face forever!

“If you want a vision of the future, imagine if you will Winston, getting grounded for infinity and executed for a mere opinion or slight misbehavior”

There is no loyalty except loyalty to the party. No love except love for Big Brother. If you want a vision of the future Winston, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. I wonder if Boris Johnson sent this quote in a note to his younger brother when he left the Conservative party. LOL joke, Im sure they are still friends.

Covid 19(84)

Hey its the Democratic convention. Wowzers. Finally we're off to a great start.

Stomping on a Human face for all eternity..... ya, like a female cowboy boot (Bari, Italy ...The Bur) kicking the Sicily (Something like God Fathers). So something like the GO (Spirit of the Universe) and E (Some White Pure Zeta) sculpted the Peninsula. Would be cool if they built a canal to cut/stop it from kicking the God Fathers... Romans are good building something like the Panama Canal...so the ships and dolphins can swim from the Adriatic to Tyrrhenian Sea. HALALUYA - TAO..... ps: I hear some Green Zeta 8' lives near Bari Italy for like appox 5 - Million years.....

This is the 2020 USA Demoncratic party. Truth will prevail because we will not have the government tread on us 🐍 🇺🇸

Steven Miller in this role, only he'd just kill them. Miller deserves this send insurrectioniists to Saudi all this and mire can be yours

This comment section is disgusting

O'Brien, devoted Democrat.

Bernie sanders and ocasio-cortez's Amerika!!!

All I see is Winston paying the "consequences" he deserves. That's what the media would push out with their "consequence culture" horseshit

The modern GOP explained in less than four minutes.

I loved the Eurhythmics score. Anyway Orwell failed because I think this is the best society. I agree with the O’Brian character. Winston should have accepted the Party...

who came here because of Wonder Woman 1984?

The answer to 1984 is 1776 🇺🇸🦅 my fellow Americans it’s time to wake up or we all end up like Winston......
