MCT:August 6, 2008While many refuse to acknowledge the present reality of this Orwellian nightmare, others know that creeping totalitarianism thrives best when it moves quietly in the shadows
"In accordance to the principles of Doublethink, it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, that victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won. It is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labor. A hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects. And its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact."

Grim and very loyal adaptation of the novel. Highly recommended, and a film I believe is a must see film for those who wish to engage in political thought, although it is not a film to watch if you plan to remain cheerful. It's quite depressing viewing.
I have no particular problem with the contribution The Eurythmics made to the soundtrack, but I would certainly like to see the film with the score by Dominic Muldowney intact. -

Surprisingly good, and sadly underrated, take on George Orwell's seminal novel. great cinematography and art design. superbly played by John Hurt and Richard Burton, in his last screen role.

MCT:October 23, 2007Pretty lame. I guess it's a classic, and most other things like it came from the book, but even the book is boring. Watch brazil instead.

Brilliant. Many write this and orwell's origional off as the wrong predicition and say in the end "brave new world" was far more close to the truth, and that this would have only existed if nationalism or socialism had 'overcome' capitalism. However especially in modern times i feel its a mix of the two. Yes inner society is far more remmenisant of how it was painted in "brave new world". However international affairs and "law and order" arent so far off the orwell prediction. wars meaniningless other than to keep the social structure in-tact...not all that absurb is it? Thats not the only aspect of the bleak society portrayed in this wonderful film that comes shockingly close to our modern western reality.
