Nineteen Eighty-Four, also known as 1984, is a 1984 British dystopian film written for the screen and directed by Michael Radford, based upon George Orwell's novel of the same name. Starring John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton, and Cyril Cusack. The film, which features Burton's last screen appearance, is dedicated to him "with love and admiration." This film, a remake, was made and released about twenty-eight years after the first filmed version George Orwell's 1984 had been first released in 1956.
After The Atomic War the world is divided into three states. London is a city in 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...
***SPOILER ALERT***
I didn't know George Orwell liked Rage Against the Machine... I really like dystopian fiction.
The biggest problem in 1984 Oceania society is the lack of razor blades. Yeah I'm a jerk.
What the hell just happened? Is this how North Korea looks like?
