George Orwell's dark dystopia comes to the big screen. Richard Burton gives a magnificent performance and the rest of the cast isn't shabby either. Shot in the exact time frame Orwell set the book in. The world he imagined might not exist but his ideas and warnings remain as powerful as ever and even more relevant today.

I missed something from the book, but I really can't say what. The actors were splendid though, John Hurt and Suzanna Hamilton are just perfect in the parts of W.Smith and Julia. It's also great to see the same atmosphere imagined from the book in a big screen. Well, in my case, not big since I watched at home.

After The Atomic War the world is divided into three states. London is the capital of Oceania, ruled by a party who has total control over all its citizens. Winston Smith is one of the bureaucrats, rewriting history in one of the departments. One day he commits the crime of falling in love with Julia. They try to escape Big Brother's listening and viewing devices, but, of course, nobody can really escape...
