This video is a good supplement for students studying 1984, with footage taken from the movie. Clarification: In the movie, Winston Smith meets O'Brian alone, but in the book, both Julia and Winston meet O'Brain.

Help is coming in a way many will not suspect. We are also getting closer to the earth being filled with only good humans forever but we must first get through the storm and do what is right.
Its doesn’t represent reality at all unless you live in china or N. Korea. Pull your head out your ass, businesses steal info to make money not to make you devoted to your government. And your government (us government i assume) spys on people to prevent another 9/11 or foreign interference in your own government
Um....no. You've missed the entire point of the story.. FaceBook is a private company ran by an individual.. Now, if FB was a government company and policed what all was said and came to arrest you for thought crimes then yes... Such things will never happen in America.. Not to say that some won't try.. There are some in Washington now who would like to see a totalitarian state.. They're called Democrats.. But the real name is Radical Left, or Communists.. Now as for the media, they are just useful idiots. Party sycophants who pose as journalists. Political activists pretending to be news, but is just a propaganda ministry. Beware of these people for sure. Best to just ignore them all together knowing they're full of shit and liars.. And they know they're lying. But they've been convinced that it's for the greater good.. They've obviously never read about what the commies do with the useful idiots after they've served their purpose.
Me too. Never thought I would see this in my life time. SAD BUT TRUE. Most people don't see it 😒 but they are slowly implementing this ideology. WE ARE SLOWLY BEING CONDITIONED
It's not about communism/socialism/fascism or a religious fundamentalism. its about totalitarianism doesn't matter what it's root is, that's irrelevant.
I disagree. Yes the story is about a totalitarian regime, but I think the forces that allowed it are just as relevant today. I've only seen the original bnw film but that is riddled with communist babble in the background
In this film, the country is communist. In communism, you have more starvation, extreme equality and poverty and there's a less worry on people's race and looks. Everything and everyone is dumbed down. People are just the ever workers of the goverment. The dictator wants success for himself and the country. On facism, the dictator wants success on it's people and the country and keep himself in power and silence oposition and kills other races and wants his people to be strong and perfect. Either way, they are both dictatorships so there isn't freedom in either.
I wouldn’t. I knew about this is January. I didn’t know how illiberally governments would react to it, but based on how many stupid, politically and economically illiterate people elect stupid, weak, and illiberal politicians, I should’ve guessed it. I fought it all the way too. I fought for closing the borders in January, I fought the panic buying, and I fought against keeping the lockdown and for reopening business back in April. Why was I months ahead of the vast majority of people? Because I watch Styxhexenhammer on RU-vid, and through him I had access to Real News. Everything the mainstream media tells you is old news, lies, and propaganda.
Yeah it is insane. The politicians embraced it and wanted it badly. Morons at the top. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kby14Voy7-g.html
Never forget, Fascism is the inevitable evolution of Socialism. Mussolini and Gentile were both Socialists first, and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party Nazi was only anti-Marxist because they thought that Marx had the wrong _kind_ of Authoritarian Collectivism.
By the way, you should add Collectivism and Theocracy to that list of greatest fears. Collectivism is the root of racism and tribalism, and while not all forms of Totalitarianism are Theocratic, all forms of Theocracy are Totalitarian.
Watch Trump...as he’s going to try to become a dictatorship for him and his brats to harvest the wealth of America as their private farm. He wants to have a Monarchy...like his lit..buddy Putin..whose worth 250 BILLION just off little Russia s back. Google it. Prince Harry....walked off from a 83 BILLION fortune when he left the British Monarchy. He’s just a Prince! Trump has never been a Billionaire but it is his wet dream all his life. Sooo...here he is....serving the Elite like a dog in a leash to destroy America by divide and conquer and hasn’t he done just a splendid job of that??! But it’s obvious they, the real Elites, really can’t stand the guy and seriously would NEVER give him a Monarchy...much as they have all rulers of all colonized countries. They made the House of Saudi..and gave it to the Elite Arab family’s in the region.. But trump and his ilk are likely to get a bullet to the head much like the 7 or 8 family members of the Romanov family in Russia after the Russian Revolution. Which..btw...was done by the SAME ppl causing all this stir up and chaos today! 8/03/2020. The Crown, the Vatican and the MIC. Which is world wide.
@@rathey7999 It's not about Democrats, it's not about Republicans, it's about both of you. And of course, Fascism and Communism. You left wingers and right wingers need to stop calling each other the 1984 side. You BOTH are. It's not about any one side, it's about totalitarianism in general. There are aspects of the left and the right in it. God, I'm tiered of this.
@@franktranks9445 which side is banning words, taking down statues, erasing history, making lists of people who didn’t vote “correctly”? Only the left does these things and you’re blind if you can’t see that
@@Gogetta80 A quick evaluation of your answer: Banning words is the left. Enough said. Taking down statues is (and this may come as a surprise to you) both. For example, a BLM statue was taken down by right wingers who didn't like it after one day. Erasing history is the right. The left focuses on the history and looks at the bad things people did whom we worship as Gods. They show us that they were all flawed people. That we should look at the accomplishments, not people. The right tries to make people in history (Christopher Columbus, the Founding Fathers) look like Gods without flaws. Although I do think the left should appreciate the accomplishments of these people a bit more. Making a list of people who didn't vote "correctly" is both. There was a lot of anger towards Trump supporters from Biden supporters, as there was a lot from Biden supporters to Trump supporters. They both accused each other of voting for the incorrect candidate, and I'd imagine there was some shifty list making going on for both sides. Now let's look at their system of wealth and power distribution. The inner and outer party got it all. The money. The power. Everything. The rest of the world got nothing. This is, by definition, fascism. Some people get it all, the rest get nothing. P.S.- Saying "You’re blind if you can’t see that" doesn't validate your argument.
I lived at a house that had 12 outside cameras because the owners wanted to watch what was going on with their house/property. I was the caretaker and had rules I had to follow to live there. Some rules like no guests, I couldn't use the A/C or heater (heck i lived in the high desert in CA and it was in the 100's in summer and freezingin the winter). Later on after a few years of living there I could invite friends over and one friend said "why is there a chair there, it's in a weird spot off from the patio." I said it's there because neither of those cameras can see that spot and i can sit there without the iwners watching me. I always referred to the owners as "Big Brother" and referred to 1984 for the scene where winston sits next to the screen because big brother can't see him. Classic.
do you live on an hoa? either way, that sounds dreadful mate, hope you can find a way out of it. i think, i don’t know for sure, that is unlawful to put cameras up to spy into someone else’s home, but don’t take my word for it.
Jimbob7595 but only one will side will call you a racist bigoted misogynistic denier if you do not subscribe to their orthodoxy. Human rights commissions in city after city act like the ministry of love.
Orwell was a socialist. Do some research on him. This movie is about Fascism. Extreme right wing ideology. The merging of the state/corporate apparatus into a dystopian and totalitarian system.
Christian Freud but the socialists have become the fascists. they in fact control corporations by any means necessary, including hiring and education based on identity.
I am the working class. I generally ignore politics and enjoy my life for what it is. Yet, aware i am unable to shape the future of my society. The established powers are too strong and not worth my efforts to fight against. Thus, I aim to enjoy my "filthy" life as the powerful see me. Quietly rooting for freedom, but not wasting too much energy on the seemingly bleak future that is in store for America. I put my faith in God's Kingdom. A Kingdom not run by men. The unmovable creator who has seen thousands of civilizations rise and fall before Him is not moved in the midst of my nation's turmoil.
What's interesting about the film, is that in the last scene, Winston reaches for a Knight. Knights only move 4 spacess, and when he reaches he pauses.
Lived under 2 different authoritarian regimes. So many things in this book portrays aspects of authoritarianism so perfectly, although I understand totalitarian regime would be much harsher. Democracy should never be taken for granted.
@@ingsoc6036 was born in USSR. Then it broke up, and the part I was born became Uzbekistan. Karimov, in his 26 year reign, turned the country into 'perfect' dictatorship.
I lived in Iran most my life. Reading this book I was laughing with discomfort and fear. Because it is almost exactly how life was over there and I was perhaps too young to ever figure it out
This popped up in my feed 1 month after covid 19 shut the free world down. It just goes to show how quickly this can happen. Overnight! Orwell was ahead of his time.
Orwell lifted the totalitarianism right out of the British Empire. They were the first ones to have concentration camps down there in South Africa modeled after American Indian Reservations. The Brits had heroin developed to control China with etc
@@robertrichard6107 Yes, and people (you) went against imperialism for what we have now. What is better? "Rather the devil you know, than the devil you don't." There is a reason why we have these sayings. They have repeated again and again.
@@METALFREAK03 ??? There's a reason Lincoln said ' you can't fool all of the people all of the time.' Grifters are dominating the usual imperialism now less subtly is all, nothing new. Big Gubvarmint and Reelijon are working hand in hand to live the new world order in the shiny city on the mountain.
23 January 2021: we are well on the way now. The majority of people are blindly following the “rules” and believing everything they’re told. Life has turned grey, and freedom will soon be a thing of the past! Already lockdowns are looking like they’re permanent.
Sincerely,I think the best actor was Richard Burton and his charachter O'Brian.Without feellings, cold,tactical and very intelligent and surprisingly very very calm doing all of that.
A mostly overlooked part of 1984, is its epilogue... It goes all into language, and describes how words will be disappeared, and with that disappearance, the object or thing represented by those words, ultimately goes out of existence. Now and in history... Cancelled, as it were. I find this truly thought provoking, and ultimately a prerequisite, as it appears now, to authoritarianism. ✍️😷
The fact that he knew about this in order to put it in a movie, means this was all planned long ago. Including what we are presently experiencing and what is to come.
Today's dystopian fact: Walking through a hardware shop a few days ago, the calm, soothing voice over the speakers was eerily comforting telling me to wear my mask, giving instructions for living, etc., because "we're all in this together." I cringed so hard. Straight out of a movie.
We are living this book. Mr Orwell was a genius, a visionary who saw the future with the purest of clarity. He looked into the belly of the beast and ripped the truth out. Afraid....all should be
I saw the movie a very long time ago and have seen it materializing in this country bit by bit for quite a while . The family structure being destroyed by both parents working and kids raising themselves or by strangers was the first clue for me . Morality declined rapidly and indoctrination was easily accomplished . Now , with the recent political disaster , and the computerization of humanity , the prophecies are in full swing . I saw it coming and was told I'm crazy . I was right , but I wish I wasn't .
For the merchants who were the great men of the world, by their sorceries were all nations deceived. Revelation 18:23. The word sorceries translated from the Greek means pharmakeia in which we derive the English word pharmaceutical, meaning drugs. Who are the merchants of today who are seen as great men and sell pharmaceutical drugs to the whole planet to allegedly prevent an illness that has a 99.8% % statistical rate of recovery, drugs that are killing and severely injuring people, especially young boys and athletes in mass numbers like the world has ever seen or not seen as it, is being covered up and hidden by the very same people who created all this 1984 evil Orwellian destruction of our world and very lives. Albert Bourla CEO Pfizer Stephane Bancel CEO Moderna Pascal Soriot CEO AstraZeneca
The moment you said “family structure” everything you said to me becomes utter bullshit. Right-wing propaganda with their “traditional Christian family values” fuckshit.
WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH Describes our world accurately! Orwell knew what was coming and tried to warn us. Everyone must read this book.. I read it at school in 1981 and thought it was sci fi. I'm reading it again and it gives me the chills how prophetic it was in 1948. Now we're living in the Orwellian Nightmare. 😱
This was a very good movie. I saw it in the theatre twice. The casting was great. The acting was great. The movie was true to the book. Even to the point to where in some scenes you know what the actors are thinking.
My recollection is that in the book Julia hates high level party members because she's encountered a few of them. We don't know the details but either she was sexually abused or saw abuse. Probably the latter. So Julia - being a young beautiful woman - has a lot of first hand knowledge that Winston hasn't a clue about.
One of the things about 1984 is the horrific ending. Winston's brain is mush. The ending leaves the reader pondering the question... Was Winston Smith a hero? Yes. But mostly NO. If heroes are people we aspire to celebrate and emulate - how can Winston be a hero?
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast (BIG BROTHER), neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Good for you. I always found the book very depressing to read. And, I think it makes adolescents paranoid, and or go into fight or flight thinking to the detriment of their health.
What makes a novel like this popular is not the answer it provides, but the question it forms. Recognizing a question you are already wondering about can bring joy, but not a solution. The next question is: How much is one willing to pay just for temporary pleasure?
I've been reading the book for the past week. I've not searched anything about it on the internet yet 1984 videos appear on my favourites list on RU-vid. Very odd .
I know this book,..”1984”. And I recognize the summary of the book, recorded here by the uploader, to be as close to our current state of Reality, as your face is to your device’s screen, Comment Reader. (Yes, you...).
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms...(Ephisians 6:12) These things can only happen if we allow it to happen...The year 2020 is our year ppl... its Time for us to unite....its not us vs us...its us v them...7 billion strong vs the 1%✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
There is a set exercise routine in the book. Reminds us of today's 8 o clock applause for the nhs, which also takes place in USA and Aus for key/health workers. Also, the constant stream of 'newsspeak' - the 'we're all in this together,' mind control in full swing, our brains are bombarded in almost every advert, soon we will be hearing 'the new normal' alongside the phrase. The only thing missing is the siren. Facebook/youtube/google - all heading towards full censorship, even holisitic and natural health doctors are being stopped, pharma versus our own immune systems..we all know who wins, there, and his nsame is Bill Gates.
So tired of all you clowns and your left vs right bullshit. YOU are the problem. YOU allowed yourself to be divided by the powers that be. There IS no left vs right, WAKE UP!!! It's US vs THEM! If I have to explain who they are then you truly are lost
@@Jbtigers5 nah. Its [(smart vs stupid)vs them] They turn the stupid against themselves and each other and the others concede due to discouraging numbers.
I watched that for first time recently..And most things you point out just even details like Julia sachet, I didn't understand...You clarified many things of the movie I could not grasp and because everyone is talking about or we're during lockdown..8 knew there was meaning to it, yet it was hard for me to grasp the ideas the way you put it..I get it much better now..I'm sure the book is interesting, more detailed as most book are but we are moving away from books and addiction to the net and phone.. Thank you for such a good video that came out of no where and I clicked on it and it was short.. but clarified so much of the movie for me..I wish you would another video..there are so many subtle details to try and understand..thanks again!😊
Winston's observations are so bad lol . He though Julia was a loyal member of the party and O'Brien was a rebel, when both came out to be the opposite. Btw, who else knew that O'Brien was deceiving Winston from the beginning?
2:09 "Controlled by a Communist Government with absolute power." Not officially, INGSOC hate Communism, but they also hate Capitalism, and Socialism, Libertarianism and basically everything that isn't themselves. So I would tend to disagree with you on that.
I,m exactly with you. INGSOC is not supposed to be left wing or right wing. Its just a god awful mix mash of many different systems and ideas to keep it self in power.
It's a good idea to read the book before reading the comments section. It will completely taint your experience. Most of the comments are pretentious know-it-alls who care very little about discussion. They simply want to be right for the sake of being right and have no interest in learning. Not quite irony but somewhere nearby.
Double plus good! This has always been one of my favorite movies, I have seen it many times. Only with the original Eurythmics soundtrack, not the terrible DVD release! “If you want to see the future, picture a boot stamping on a face for all eternity.” O’Brien, 1984 Miss you, John Hurt! Some of his best work, along with Richard Burton.
@@lwaters3100 Thanks for proving the OPs point. "privileged white male" Absolutely disgusting leftist crap. The left always sow division and the market it as "anti-racism" and dipshits like L waters swallow it like a useful idiot.
National convention of Communist parties, madison Square Garden-1944 Alexander Trachtenberg spoke the following words. "When we get ready to take the United States, we will not take it under the labels of Communism, we will not take it under the labels of Socialism. These labels are unpleasant to the American people and have been speared too much. We will take the United States under the labels we have made very loveable; we will take it under Liberalism, under progressivism, under Democracy. But take it we will! " Marxism definition : the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engals, later developed by followers to form the basis for the theory and practice of Communism.
For me ,Orwell wrote beautiful and dark portrait on par with Huxley’s “A Brave New World” or Margaret Atwood’s “A Handmaid’s Tale” as a cautionary story that I have seen in real life. Hopefully, people can wake up to the powers that be !
