Not the 1984 in my mind

The beginning of the movie was not good, the hatred scene was very strange, not familiar to me and other modern people, this one is very attractive.

But the protagonist seems to know at a glance that he is a person who has committed a crime of thought, because his eyes will turn, and he remains calm when others are full of hatred. It seems that it is easy to take out the diary and write the diary, and it is not. After a while, I walked to Prostitute Street, met the grocery store owner, and confronted the girl, as if it were all easy to do.

The most fascinating aspect of this novel in 1984 is not the resistance and punishment of the protagonist, but the display of the overall rule of the authoritarian society. I think so.

Therefore, the film director did not repeatedly express the despotism and control of this society, which disappointed me. The reason may be because the director is British and has no such experience.

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.
