"The past is erased, the erased is forgotten , and the
lie becomes the truth, and then becomes the lie again."

Published in 1984 in 1949, it was not put on the screen until 1984. Although I have seen Animal Farm, I am still shocked by such a genius prediction by George Orwell.
Wang Xiaobo said: "Intellectuals are most afraid of living in an age of irrationality." In this film, the hero Winston lives in an age of authoritarianism that does not allow thinking. In this era, people are surrounded by ubiquitous telescreens, whether they are living, working or studying. They act according to the government's guidance in the telescreen and unconditionally support the big brother of the government. The government advocated "Ignorance is glory!" So notebooks, a tool for personal emotional release, became a forbidden item; the government advocated "gradually and completely disintegrate the family!" So tens of thousands of young women took to the streets and vowed never to get married.
"It's not just about living, it's about being human," Winston said as he embraced Julia at the secret location of the tryst.
2+2 is equal to how many. Sometimes, the answer is neither 4 nor 5 nor 3. The best answer is: I don't know.
I don't want to make this article too political, and I don't intend to discuss the so-called collective thought above all slogans or ideas such as XXXX is good or good.

"Thinking sin is inevitable, it's about to infect you."
If thinking is a sin, it makes us unforgivable.

"Stay away from me, Smith. I'm Gorgostein's spy, and I didn't even know it myself. Thought crime is inevitable, it's about to infect you. My daughter found it, and I'm proud of her. . Happily I was discovered before I became hopeless."

1984 quotes

  • O'Brien: There is no loyalty but loyalty to the Party. There is no love except love of Big Brother. All competing pleasures we will destroy.

  • [speaking almost inaudible in the short film over the Two Minutes Hate rally]

    Goldstein: Nothing the Party says is true. Nothing the Party does is good. Even the war itself isn't real. The Party wants you to believe we are at war so as to channel your aggressions away from the rightful target, the Party. Big Brother is not real. He is pure fiction, created by the Party. The real rulers of the state of Oceania are a small group of unknown, faceless manipulators of the Inner Party who, because they are not publicly known, are able to wield power without let or hindrance. People of Oceania, you are being duped. The Party doesn't serve it's people, it serves itself. We are not at war with Eurasia. You are being made into obedient, stupid slaves of the Party. Open your eyes. See the evil that is happening to you. The Party drops bombs on its own citizens. It is the Party, not the Eurasians, who are our enemies. Rise up. Throw off the yoke. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. People of Oceania.
