The waiter was a young 'Trigger' from only fools and horses. I was imagining Del Boy strolling in puffing on his cigar saying to Winston "The Thought Police ? You plonker ! Should have played it nice and cool and everything would have been cushty. Give us a pint Trigs - Lovely jubbly.
I wonder why thousands of writers haven't taken into consideration the idea of making a sequel to 1984, it would be curious to delve deeper into the world behind it and the question of resistance (in The book but also in the film I still have the doubt of a hypothetical resistance ready to overthrow the regime, even if it could all be a sham by the party).
@@user-fg7st9fd2d I made inquiries and it's not exactly a sequel, it's still a dystopian novel very similar to Orwell's 1984 but it has a completely different story, but I know of a sequel which is more of a "comic" novel based on the events of 1984, the book was created by György Dalos, but his novel amounts to a mockery of Orwell's masterpiece.
when music starts around 1:30 Julia: That's inconceivable. Winston: It's possible (unintelligible). Instinct, it's bad news on the way. Julia: I told them all about you. I'm really thankful they got me before it was too late. Winston: Yes. I told them about you too. Thought crime, sex crime, all your treachery. Julia: I have a meeting to go to. We must meet again. Winston: Yes. We must meet again. Julia leaves.
As much as I like the film it's not a very accurate adaptation and dwells too much on the negative aspects of the story. In the novel Winston is a little more heroic, despite his physical state. His confrontation with O'Brien is more combative, whereas in the film he offers little resistance and is broken down quickly. I believe that another version is in the works. Hopefully this will be more true to the spirit of the novel, but give Julia more than either the novel and film did. Orwell didn't write female characters very well.
Can anyone see it from the party’s point of view? It’s just after a war and they’ve seen what even the most normal human being is capable of inflicting upon another. Is he really more evil than anyone else?
A: F... the party's point of view now and for all time. B: Yes. 100% more evil. Insert quote: 'Something something 'people trading freedom for security deserving neither...'.
The war isn’t real. One month Oceania is fighting Eastasia, and the next month they were “always” fighting Eurasia. The war front isn’t real, it’s propaganda to demand the people fall in line with the government: “Actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in alliance with Eurasia. But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control. Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil”
I dont think its explicitly critiquing just Stalinism, that being said, the book and movie do go totally over the top in criticising totalitarianism. The reality of the modern world is that most people think they're free but they've become slaves to their work, consumerism and hedonism. Where freedom is exalted by the masses always but who opposes the system which makes them live like slaves? Freedom isn't simply deprivation of rights and being allowed to think whatever you desire, but being free in your own spirit from evil and living in an environmental which allows that. 1984 doesn't understand freedom so it presents the opposition of freedom in a comical way.
@@CobraRedstone Beside the stalin critic i see in the film( orwell= trotkyst( bronstein/goldstein)antistalin=darling og the west) the movie is excellent. Burton and Hurt are extraordanary/ impressing. And the most ( un)happy end is outstanding.
