“1984 made in 1984. george orwell's drama about the social order of war.

this version is hard to take. its never fun, never exciting, and never moving. which is perhaps exactly what it should be, however it makes for a difficult movie to enjoy. our hero is a boring man with a boring job rewriting parts of history. we get to see him and others taking part in this action as uninterested as can be. he falls in love with a woman and begins to do things outside of what he is intended to do. all of which is a huge set up to his arrest and reprogramming as a model citizen complete with his confession of his wrongdoings.

the visual movie is stunning.” read more
