watched 1984

[jverne]

yeah...sorry...i didn't read the book first.
anyway

two things came to mind...North Korea is actually worse than what the movie depicts.

second...wonder if the then contemporary Soviet leader watched it and if he laughed at it?

I found the movie a bit too arty farty for my taste. Interesting, thought, just interesting.

Yuuuuuuuuuup.


I had a good laugh at the irony of who John Hurt was playing after having seen him in V for Vendetta.

 

[hot564231]

Man who thinks he's defies big brother, becomes big brother.

Yes i see the irony.

 

[MJ12]

[hot564231]

[Sheepo]

Read the book.

Weren't there several different attempts at a 1984 movie?

The sequal 1985 was much better, personally I didn't like 1988, was to bland for my tastes. =o

Yeah but they really changed the direction with that one, going to space and all...

i read the book and understand that both politician and citizen can get 2 different viewpoints from it.

North Korea was founded in the year 1984 was published. Its as if someone gave Kim ilsung a copy and said 'Do you think we could make this work' and he said 'im not sure but ill sure as hell give it a try'.
