What surprised me most was that what O'Brien said to Winston was: we shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.
NO DARKNESS??! It is the opposite of what is written in the book.
I don't know why it was changed to this meaning, or why room 101 had to appear repeatedly from the beginning, and why it would be like that after 101 opened the door.
I feel that the whole movie is out of touch, unable to unite myself, and the thoughts I want to express are also chaotic. In the second half, Winston was caught in the Friendship Department. In my opinion, it should be the most exciting, powerful and destroying part of the entire book. However, in the movie, it reads out some of the dialogue in the book. Other than that, it's gone. Especially when Parson was also locked in, the line that belonged to another person in the book that was extremely scared of Room 101 was put on this fat man, but looking at him, he said it was pale, it was almost ridiculous. .
As for the first half of the movie, there are too many things that should be told to the audience, but they haven't been shown. So it feels like the whole movie hasn't reached the fire, not at all. No matter his love with Julia, or his thinking and rebellion about this kind of totalitarian politics. So naturally, when the second half tries to destroy his beliefs and beliefs, there is no way to arouse the trembling fear that the book can give people.
Some of the key things in the book are almost completely ignored in the movie, such as the diary, such as News, such as Winston's complicated feelings for O'Brien, such as the hope he placed on the proletarian. It makes people feel that Winston was ruined by his childhood trauma and immoral love.
It may indeed be a work that is not suitable for adaptation into a movie. Although the original is only two hundred thousand words, the film of the past two hours is still too weak in front of its thoughts.
In the end, O'Brien is more in line with my personal imagination in the choice of roles; Winston is much worse, at first glance it looks like the "beetles" mentioned in the book. But looking in the mirror at the friend department is pretty good. The last person who is decomposing, or humanity, is really ugly; Julia is okay, but she doesn’t feel smart enough; the performance of the grocery store owner doesn’t let people Satisfied, when he was the owner of the shop, he showed a scorn of contempt, but he failed to give people a feeling of gentleness and moderation; Parson was also more in line with imagination, but limited to too few scenes and failed to fully show his Foolish loyalty; Mrs. Parson, although there is only one shot, it is disappointing. There is no urge to call it a "mrs." But Winston's mother is very nice.
Oh, let me add one more sentence. Regarding hatred, I don't think I can do everything in place. On the contrary, I remember that when I watched Hitler’s boy, the fascist officer’s speech on stage was more agitating. The roar of hatred in this movie can infect people even more.
