Excellent review...it's been years since I've read 1984, but I think it's definitely time to reread it, then watch the film just to see the differences for myself! Oh, as for your statement about how most films have to be dumbed down for the American audience...they really don't HAVE to be, but for some inexplicable reason Hollywood has decided that the average American is incapable of consuming anything above a preschool level. It's seriously depressing, to the point that I haven't seen a movie that I have been challenged by, that was produced by the American film industry, in over 20 years!
Unfortunately i dont think you will for awhile longer. Hollywood is locked down on the next set cookie cutter recipes trying to be "woke." There has been some pushback though so hopefully it'll be saved soon
I think one of the most romantic parts of the book, and too a lesser degree the movie, was when they were enjoying proper coffee and butter and jam on toast. They were dabbling in decadence that had been illegal for so long-- but they are just simple creature comforts for us today. I think that paints a good picture for what people are facing today; even the smallest bits of comfort you have will, in some way or another, become indecent or offensive to some. I mean, I'm sure there's a paper out there saying vegemite is racist, or peanut butter is racist, or what have you. At this point toasting wieners or marshmallows on a fire can have racist connotations.
I'm planning on reading the book so when you got to spoiler territory I stopped. Still I like your review of the movie and I plan comeback for more content.
I believe the book is much better than the movie. It wasn't much about the characters, it was about the ideals of dictatorship and in paper it sounds interesting but in movie is not. So I felt disappointed by the movie. Also nice review of the villains. I don't know if you mind asking you but, I just made a 1984 video comparing it to V for vendetta. I don't know if you would be interested to check it out and see what you think? See ya
I don't really feel Julia had gone through it before. I feel she knew what was going to happen to some extent because if affairs with people who worked in that ministry and knew of what they had done or at least did somewhat. I never got the impression that she had experienced it though or that she was still angry about what had happened and hadn't fully succumbed. Once they catch you they make sure that there's not a bone left in you that hasn't been shattered and a feeling they hadn't exhausted. I'm not saying that they are some sort of God that can control every part of you but I feel that there wasn't enough of her left to fight anymore as with Winston.
You should watch the 1956 movie! I felt you on the "making her a bit feminine" which is one of the reasons I really like the 1956 version. Give it a try!
I suggest you watch the original, B&W the way it was meant (no nudity) it focuses more on the message not so much "interpreted" by actual 1984 mindset (year of remake I believe)
Thx, good video. Haven´t watched the movie yet. I think "Brazil" by Terry Gilliam was also inspired a lot by "1984", if you haven´t already watched it, I would recommend it.
1984 is one of my favorite books, and the audible audiobook version kicks ass! Also, I loved O'Briens character. To me he seems like the ultimate pragmatist. He's an intelligent guy who found himself in a hard situation (the revolution), and rather than be tortured and killed off he gave himself heart and mind to the party and willingly became a lunatic. The give away is his line "they got me a long time ago". He does seem inhuman, but he's probably the head of the ministry of love and has a lot of resources to work with.
Good take on the cinematography. I always disliked the movie because I honestly found it too cheerful, the book was so much more oppressive and claustrophobic. I found it so horrifying the first time I read it I think I slept with the lights on for like a week afterward (cut me some slack, i was like 11). Definitely read the book before seeing the movie. Nice headgear. Shadilay my dude!
Book vs Movie vs Real Life.
Real Life wins no one could have predicted SJW's.
@@tobytoxic I take it that you're an SJW? lol.

You should totally do something like this for the "I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream" book and video game.
Also cool video as always.

Amazing video and nice hat.

Have you read anything by David Wong if so I'd love get your view on his work

John Hurt and Daniel D. Lewis are confirmed Kekistani natives.

I don't like nudity either but geez im on your side about this
