Nineteen Eighty Four Hate Week Rally 

One of the many things I like about this film version is that it doesn't try to be sleek and futuristic, like some more modern dystopias (and even the 1950s adaptations of 1984). Rather, it is a decaying world that will never leave the 1940s. Every shot is utterly believable as the world of Orwell's book.

This scene represents

Anyone notice how well-fed and downright chubby the marching soldiers are compared to the ordinary citizens?

Orwell wrote 1984 when he realized how Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany were eerily similar. It’s not about “left” or “right.”

I find it so amazing how they managed to ACTUALLY COMPOSE the oceania anthem from Orwell's description. It seems like they captured what Orwell was hearing in his inner ear to the T

I wish our society's mind control was this honest and obvious

I like how they're cheering over the guy as he speaks - probably because no one wants to be the first to stop.

I am uncompromisingly convinced that every single person who mentions 1984 as part of some political argument has not read 1984.

I really like Winston as a protagonist. He really embodies that feeling of loneliness that comes with disillusionment

Like when they said Saddam had WMDs ! or the 1980s the Afghan Freedom Fighters there where never any freedom fighters in Afghanistan ! we called them friends because they where fighting the USSR !

Their hate is so powerful, it doesn't even matter what he is saying.

Okay no ones talking about how good the music is. The music when Winston is looking through the dictionary, with the telescreen blaring is perfect. It sounds so inspirational and positive, making you feel kind of eerie

Here’s a brilliant visual that the movie brings to light that I don’t think others have spotted. The traditional salute of Oceanians stands for two things: resembles a “V” for victory and when a person is chained by their hands to the ceiling, being held in bondage and captivity as a prisoner, further demonstrating the eternal slavery the people face under Ingsoc

The Party guy has his eyes open without blinking in this scene like a fanatic! Great acting!

Big Brother: "Good... Use your aggressive feelings, my dear proles. Let the hate flow through you!".

This looks like fun. I would totally attend, if this were real. Of course, in Oceania, I would have to attend, whether I like it or not.

I love the imagery of the flags marching proudly paraded in front of shots of a rubbleized city. The soldiers parading as if victorious with their hands up and crossed as if surrendering. This scene is so perfect.

The Party's position on the political spectrum seems to be "assholism."

People watch this movie and read the book and think that something like this could never possibly happen. But we've seen very similar in Germany in the 30's and 40's and the Soviet Union. A society like this isn't impossible and the warning signs should be looked for very carefully
