Nineteen Eighty-Four, also known as 1984, is a 1984 dystopian drama film written and directed by Michael Radford, based upon George Orwell's 1949 novel of the same name. Starring John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton, and Cyril Cusack, the film follows the life of Winston Smith (Hurt), a low-ranking civil servant in a war-torn London ruled by Oceania, a totalitarian superstate.[6] Smith struggles to maintain his sanity and his grip on reality as the regime's overwhelming power and influence persecutes individualism and individual thinking on both a political and personal level.

The scariest thing about the book this movie is based on - Christopher Hitchens in an interview once said that he believed the father of Kim Jong il read the book in university and thought to himself "you know - I think we can make this work". Kamala Harris and the democrats want to implement something worse.

This is a brilliant movie.

The book is one of the most disturbing things I have ever read - it's really good up to the second last page, and then the last page - Boom! The gates of hell close on you.

I forget his real name, but the Author of the time, when the Spanish, and other civil wars - along with the Soviet expansionism, the German unification etc.,

He saw that this was a frame of mind and perception that could grind you into the dust...

He was showing you a way out.

Reading the book is a different experience to listening to the audio book.

And it's when I listened to the Audio Book that I understood what people meant when they said 1984 could be used as a manual for destruction and enslavement of humanity.

It's a half baked perception - in that Orwell was an acute observer and writer, he put it into a book, but what he put into that book, was based upon everything that was going on around him.

QED - The rational on the condensed perception on reality as "The Manual" is in fact correct, but it's the bigger picture that he drew from that is not contained in the book, that is the BIG issue... There is so much that is going on and always has been.

The Audio Books - I have had a good look, and I am yet to find a free and absolutely accurate copy of the paperback.
