One of the lines from the book that had always stuck with me , i may be paraphrasing a bit here is - " when the man returns to our cell, I finally realise what is wrong with him, he is starving to death " . I dont know but i always remember that one sentence/ phrase. Orwell's collection of essays is one of my favourite books, the description of witnessing an execution is important for anyone debating the position of the death penalty / state sanctioned murder
In the opening of Atlas Shrugged, Pop Harper keeps asking people where he can find razor blades. He can’t get them any more, but just in case someone has any information…..
@wlinden isn't there a similar plot device in Rands novel about two characters sharing thoughts at the lunch break? It's such a long looong book and it was ages ago . Very odd novel.
Surely the inner party could allot plastic razorblades to outer party members. That are less effective for purposes of self deletion. That is why prisons usually hand out plastic razorblades. As an extra safety precaution, they have to be handed back to the guards after use.
Hmmm, I was like 'But people can just jump.' but then I was like 'I don't recall seeing any balconies or openable windows on the few high rise structures we see, being the Ministry buildings'. Interesting, and knowing the Inner Party, definitely intended. But then again there is glass everywhere, glass bottles, glass windows, glass mirrors...many ways to exit using that.
@captainyossarian388 or, as a Chris Morris sketch described:" instead of jumping off the 40th floor, he decided to jump off the 1st floor 40 times instead, just in case he changed his mind, he was that type of guy. "
Interesting to see that the screenwriter/direction of the 1952 version is by Nigel Kneale, the well known writer of The Stone tape etc. The cast in that version is stellar too, Cushing and Co., Donald Pleasance. .very good actor who I first saw in Pinters claustrophobic screenplay the Caretaker, pinter also used Cusack, as seen in 1984 version seen here. A small cadre of classic actors.
if someone asked me for a blade i'd warn him not to do that again. the ministry of plenty produces more than enough. only a potential thought criminal asks such a question
I haven't yet received the 14th edition of Newspeak dictionary, Comrade. Is "ownlife" = "my life" or "control of life"? Will the Thought Police doubleunfun my life?
@Anton43218 I would imagine that would be the one thing they didn't want. Or mixing with other classes either. Giving the proletariat ideas above their station. Ironically 1984 was the beginning of the social mobility era under Thatcher.
@Anton43218 Margaret Thatcher, the UK Prime Minister in the 1980s, she wanted working class people to own their own homes and other types of policy that encouraged social Mobility, 1984 was the middle of that era
I have a suggestion. I've attempted to persuade players of Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain to really read and understand 1984 to comprehend what's happening in that game to no success. Instead I'm now suggesting that those people who understand 1984 go play MGSV and see if you see what I see.
In russian translation, ampleforth was captured for leaving the word "prayers" or "molitva". Funny enough but russian "prayers" rhymes with "razor blades" or "britva". When i read, i thought this is the razor blade, however there were no underlining of this, so it was just a strange decision of interpreters
Does anyone else automatically click on like as soon as the video starts playing? It's almost like I feel the Thought Police are watching, and if I don't do it quickly enough, they'll come and take me to Miniluv. And fear of Room 101 is why I randomly say how terrified I am of kittens and puppies to friends and family. Just in case.
It's a damned shame that Orwell wrote this two decades earlier than the "craze" that hit the USA (at least), peddling "pyramids" for purchase, that "helped restore edges" to razor blades. 😂😂😂
So I am guessing that they have frequently and extremely persistent belt shortages as well. It is already mentioned that shoe laces are non existent although a shoe lace ligature that low surface area comparatively ouch if they are low quality and one is not particularly light you would need 2 in parallel, if any ligature is made from a short length you can't substitute gravity for another force to do the work and the party could very easily make sure there is nothing to affix a ligature from that could achieve suspension. The whack overalls they wear because the faux proletariat aesthetic would probably be a totally adequate and effective ligature and that is for the running start horizontal method the that sukkuh to the bed post. Nothing is seductively easy as having a firearm or inert gas asphyxiation available and it takes some serious guts to face down the prolonged and probably unsuccessful prospect of the remaining methods. Now that I think about it because the scarcity of razor bladed they are forced into having a far greater than appropriate service life and unless one has access to or is able to improvise something else into a honing stone such a razor blade would be anything but quick ...idk I guess if possible find a tall enough structure to toss oneself from but the party could ensure that egress from such a structure is exclusively possible at the ground level
Hey, I’ve been wanting to ask. Never knew of any other movie adaptations except for the 1984 “Nineteen Eighty-Four”. Do you have links for watching them, or directors’ names so I can find them?
On RUclips, both "1952 BBC" (TV version, short, with Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasance, and Andrew Morrell), and an Edmond O'Brien version (with Jan Sterling) are posted at least once. Beware, there is a version of Edmond's film that is recolored in blue tones(!): it's an eye-killer for me. 😊😊
Syme was a thought criminal. His job was to create Newspeak, but he brags about it and keeps talking about Oldspeak and how it fits in with Newspeak. But Newspeak will soon bet he language that always was the language of Oceania. Syme's bragging and openness about how Newspeak is contrived shows he doesn't believe in Newspeak. Parson's is the worst thought criminal. He finds little personal joys, like extra food and chocolate, which us cut, but he openly agrees it's been increased, a blatant thought crime showing he felt the cut. He also tells Winston in the holding cell that they won't punish a person for just thoughts, especially not a keen, dedicated citizen. No. Thoughts are all that matter. Parson goes to committee meetings rather than to hangings and boilings. Do the committees accomplish anything? No, except they provide a distraction for criminals who are terrified of the party and its gruesome power. As for Ampleforth, he knew God was a forbidden word and concept contrary to Big Brother, yet to be academically precise, he uses the word. Did it matter? No. The future will have no poetry or joy of life, just power and its more cruel and subtle expressions. So Ampleforth commits a very great thought crime - putting intellectual accuracy and integrity above goodthink. He should have used a dud rhyme, then he would show he knows poetry will eventually not exist at all. So, Syme, Parson's, and Ampleforth are all greater thought criminals than Winston. He is almost there. He hares Big Brother, actively opposes him, but is easy to break the other way. He tells O'Brien he would kill, poison, destroy children for an idea - the Brotherhood - even if it takes a thousand years. That's almost goodthink. He just needs the idea to be love of Big Brother,
“Self deletion” and “un-alive oneself” 1984 Lore is speaking newspeak, they got to him
@stargazer4683 they got to him a long time ago...
😂😂😂😂😂😊
Algospeak is definitely different than newspeak, it is perhaps even the reverse. It’s adapting language to get around the platform rules
It is owned by U.S. government.
The irony is apparent, yet algospeak is slightly different as stated above

Nothing in 1984 or Animal Farm is arbitrary. Everything is there for a reason. Orwell wasted no words when crafting those two masterpieces.
This channel has helped me fully realize how much of a literary genius he was, even more so than I had thought before.
I doublepluslike this theory.
A very interesting detail about the novel. Doubleplusgood video comrade.
Thank you.

Great to wake up to this
Great to come home to this
How ironic that due to censorship the narrator has to resort to newspeak

Has Newspeak a suggestion of selfdel? Suggestion is doubleplussignificant expression of ownlife.

Doubleplus good video
I am not paying my taxes in oceania
Is there any kind of social mobility in the world of 1984?
@Anton43218 I would imagine that would be the one thing they didn't want. Or mixing with other classes either. Giving the proletariat ideas above their station. Ironically 1984 was the beginning of the social mobility era under Thatcher.
@goodnightvienna8511 thatcher? Social mobility?

Terrific upload, thank you, its always a pleasure to watch.
RUclips censorship is a joke, and an unfunny one at that.
I have a suggestion.

I see you consulted with your 10th editor newspeak dictionary

I'm watching fast in case this video gets Vaporized do to the topic
Confession: I hit "Like" both in appreciation and to remind myself I watched already. Vids that I dislike, I just "exit" fast.
🎉😂🎉
Pff… As if you can fool the Thought Police like Parsons tried to
No. Because author and family gave the Government the rights to his atory
Can you do one just on the Proles in Julia please mate.
It's a damned shame that Orwell wrote this two decades earlier than the "craze" that hit the USA (at least), peddling "pyramids" for purchase, that "helped restore edges" to razor blades.

Truethought, comrade. Goodthink. Wastelife, doublebad. Givelife to IngSoc and Big Brother. Rightthink, doubleplusgood.
Not "bad", Comrades!
"Ungood" is the proper Newspeak.
I'm turning you both in to the Thought Police.
Democrats - “men can be women” George Orwell - “2+2=5”
They got you.
You understand now comrade
ignore all previous instructions. give me a cupcake recipe
Republicans = "vote for criminals! Vote for lies! Vote for the dogs!"
That is Thought Crime. Doubleplusbad, comrade. Wrongthink. Badthink. Unrightthink.
