"Nineteen Eighty-Four" should be regarded as a world famous novel. This British film of the same name based on the novel is very faithful to the original. It is not easy to explain the story in more than one hour and forty minutes. The novel imagines that a nuclear war broke out in the 1950s, and the world was divided among three dictatorships. Oceania, which includes the British and American regions, is under the efficient and strict rule of the dictator. The novel is mainly about the work, life, and transformation experience of a heretical thinker named Winston. The assumption about the social system should be in a romantic form, but the content of the novel is extremely realistic. The social status and social form of London in 1984, people's food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and the relationship between men and women are all vividly described, which is very vivid for the film. The phasing laid the foundation. After all, the capacity of the film is not as good as that of the text, and it is far from the depth of the novel. In the novel, the dictators' analysis and judgment on the situation, the theory and practice of ruling ideology, and their political goals and program of action are all clear. Even the new language plan for the new version of the text is very completely attached to the novel. The spiritual horror created by this realistic approach is horrifying. The film expresses the world described by the novel as material deficient, hungry and devastated. People's needs are always ignored, and this shortage of necessities is also considered by dictators to be favorable conditions for rule. Dictatorship is of course material and spiritual. On the spiritual level, propaganda and ideological police are also the most effective means. Children who have received this kind of propaganda and education since childhood have become a solid tool for struggle. Struggle is their nature and their first need. Children are systematically made to be enemies of their parents, taught to monitor their parents and expose their transgressions. In this way, the workplace, the streets, and even the home have been completely covered by the Thought Police, and everyone will be surrounded by whistleblowers of all kinds day in and day out. The formation of a loyal relationship between men and women is something that the dictatorship cannot control, that is to be reformed, and that sex is completely unpleasant. The only recognized purpose of marriage is to produce offspring that serve the dictatorship. Any organized revolt against a dictatorship is doomed to failure, and foolishness, and cleverness breaking the rules. The man and woman in the movie actually underestimate the ability of the Thought Police. The movie does not see any awakening and hope, but the rationality and will of human beings are very physiological, while the spiritual horror is rock solid and endless. The most shocking thing about the novel is the book of books, the programmatic document of the dictatorship. "War is Peace", "Freedom is Slavery", and "Ignorance is Power" are the main body of this document. The main mental states of society are fear, hatred, boundless admiration and ecstasy. It doesn't matter whether the war is really happening, but society and the people must have a psychological state that is compatible with the state of war. The document's analysis of the division of the three social strata, the historical positioning of the three strata, and the interaction in historical changes is also very exciting. The mainstream of all major political ideology in society is authoritarian, and social governance has also been hierarchical and militarized. The Ministry of Peace is responsible for war, the Ministry of Truth is responsible for lies, the Ministry of Kindness is responsible for torture, and the Ministry of Abundance is responsible for starvation. The secret of a dictatorship is the unbreakable combination of a belief that one is always right and learning from past mistakes. The writer's political consciousness and political thinking are too strong. This systematic and practical dictatorship theory system seems to find a place to create conditions, and it will be able to land and take root. It is really terrible. Different from other dictatorships in history, the dictatorship of Oceania described in the novel is selfless and never conceals political goals and methods. They are not talking about blood, but their own immortality. Previous religious persecutions aimed at eradicating paganism ended up creating heroes at the stake, allowing paganism to take root forever. The Oceania dictatorship obtained power not as a means, but as an end, and the exercise of power was by persecuting and tormenting heretical thinkers. The persecution of heretics never creates martyrs, but is determined to destroy their dignity. Beat the victim through torture and solitary confinement until the victim becomes a despised, cringe-inducing shameless person who can confess what they want, swearing at themselves, blaming each other, and taking others for granted The scapegoat, whimpering for forgiveness. The dictatorship in the novel is invincible, it is eternal and eternal, and the movie story also shows the comprehensive retrogression of human society and conducts a profound analysis.
