If you read "We" by the Russian writer Yevgeny Zamyatin, you will see unmistakable parallels between it and "1984." In fact, We was written nearly 30 years before Orwell's book, and it seems impossible to me that Orwell didn't know about Zamyatin's novel, such are the similarities.

some will watch it and not understand it, the few that do will realize their own government is very much guilty of this albeit a lot more discreit, and decentralized from the federal government itself given the nature of the economic and legal system that it protects and enforces. Sure it has state media sources like Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe, etc. but not a lot of viewers, so why not have private media companies owned by the people that donate to congress, and are more popularly known to the public recite what their propaganda sources give them for foreign policy, or what people secretly tied to the government through "non-governmental" organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA linked organization, that heavily rely on the government's secret support and funding tell the media what to say. Why send in federal agents on a raid against a political activist when local police will do the dirty work and people can focus on the local pd and officers involved instead of the whole government. Why have a single ruling party when both can work together when it comes to robbing the poor of the nation of their lives, and their money, to increase spending on the security state and giving more cash to mega companies that bribe them both while they use political theater to attack the poor, the minority, the immigrant, the women, the lgbtq+ as inferiors to hate or to pretend to support them without delivering them much in terms of policy, while those wanting to actually address serious economic and political issues are stunlocked into having to take up more battles for democratic rights it takes the heat off the government as a whole as it does a terrific job at preventing people from getting the full picture because they're blinded by the fake, social policy, political tribalism in Washington shown on tv, focus solely on individual government or private organizations or officials rather than the whole government or what part of government the private orgs are indirectly attached to

Overshadowing any wrongdoings of government, keeping people busy with creating propaganda and controlling each others thougts. To some extent all societys have parts of the society in the book, control of what is correct to say in public and what is accepted, people in the west are very keen on screaming on each other when they think they hear something they dont like instead of actually listening to why or what the person meant or wanted to say.

At 1:53 there is an image of a dead woman in the video. Next a women’s scream can be heard in the background as the ugly face of an Eurasian soldier leers over the viewers. The scene suggests that the Eurasian soldiers are engaged in sexual violence in the areas they are fighting in. The next shot pans onto the faces of the terrified women watching those battles scenes and imaging what’s happening to those poor women on the frontlines. The filmmaker has brilliantly crafted this scene to show us how propaganda has effectively been used as a weapon against Oceania’s own citizens. The implied violence is more terrifying to the viewer than actual evidence, which may not even exist. This film has a masterly all on another level, especially in its attention to the last detail.
@shin-ishikiri-no Жыл бұрын
After decades of misandry it's hard to empathize with women's perception of struggle. They are having sexual relations and even families with the men conquering them, while the men are tortured and slaughtered. It baffles me that g*rape is the pinnacle of evil in people's minds. There's a lot worse going on in the world.

I think the Eurythmics music works perfectly. A classical score is sooo. expected and dull. The Eurthymics scores ads to the feeling of melancholia/despair/otherworldness (imo). Re, behind the director's back it's worth realising that the director of a movie doesn't have control over it (it's not "his" movie"). The producer(s) and the film compnay control what happensewith the movie; it's "their movie" not the director's.

A terrible irony of our time. The accusation of 'Orwellian' is frequently flung with vehemence by those who would themselves use manipulation of culture, media and history to tyrannically impose their private will upon others. '1984' is a critically important book for our time, but tragically misunderstood. Over and over again I hear the word 'Orwellian' to describe vociferous debates over words and terms in public culture, or a form of outrageously blatant and shameless public lying for political ends. These are loosely tied to particular literary devices used in the book, but they don't relate to the core theme: controlling people by controlling their entire perception of reality - manipulating their fear, pain and visceral human instincts through physical and emotional torture on a profound level, and editing all information that they receive to stop them assembling in their heads the critical toolkit to resist If you want to angrily object to a specific word, or can use your critical faculties to tell you are being lied to, you are not in an Orwellian reality. '1984' is not about controlling specific words or telling lies. It is about using human vulnerabilities and shaping information to cut people off from reality in a substantial way.

They control words and concepts and redefine them such as marriage, what is a woman, redefine standards in math so minorities do not fail, redefine recession/depression, redefine CDC guidelines and known proven science for decades to fit agendas to name a few.

I read this book the first time when I was a teenager in the mid 1960s and thought the story grossly exaggerated, that nobody could ever enforce such a society. When I was in my mid 20s visiting relatives in East Germany I was shocked to find just how similar the country was to Orwell's 1984. Later, after the Berlin Wall came down, many East Germans painfully found out that their spouses, some close relative or a good friend had been snitching on them to the Stasi for years. According to Stasi records the agency had at least 20 000 informal informers working for them and another 4000 trained agents on their payroll. That must have been like Orwell's 1984 on steroids.

It's frightening how apathetic people are in the face of such blatant abuses of power. "Those who control the past control the present".

This means you did not understand the book. Most people don't understand it, especially paranoid people. 1984 is not about the west. Its about countries like North Korea, China or the Soviet Union. The west has a completely other method to oppress. The book that portraits our times in the west is "Brave New World" and not 1984. Brave New World was written in 1932 and it describes todays western society perfectly. 1984 describes an authocratic society in which obedience is guaranteed through terror, torture and, in the worst case, physical annihilation of the individual. Brave New World on the other hand describes a society where obedience is achieved through hedonism, escapism and relativism. In other words: the 1984 society imposes its values on everyone, the Brave New World society denies that real values exist at all.
