      "Love and Reverence to Richard Burton"

      If you have read the original book of "1984", you will find that Richard Burton's O'Brien is the O'Brien in the book, as if it exists alive. The director had failed to find Paul Schofield (broken leg), Rod Steiger (failed plastic surgery), and Marlon Brando (lion mouthed), and finally had to find him.

      When looking for him, the director was always worried because he heard that he was still drinking heavily. Unexpectedly, after he came, he not only stopped drinking, but also gave a very...

      How do a few Qing Manchus firmly control the Han residents who are a hundred times more than their population? Summarize the following methods: ZT

      1. Material control.
      Treating most ordinary people under the rule, the Manchu nobles knew an ancient experience, "For example, if you raise an eagle, you will fly away when you are full, and you will be hungry when you are hungry." Therefore, finding a way to keep the people struggling with food and clothing is the best choice. The people are exhausted all day long in order to survive. They have no time and no ability to think about rights and resistance, and the excess resources at the...

      English subtitles can be read roughly. The adaptation caused the shock to drop, such as the specific matters of the Ministry of Truth and the Ministry of Care. The rat addictive scene reminds people of the rat in the movie Escape from the North. The effect of calling "traitor" together is not as good as the swearing of capital roaders and big poisonous weeds in the WG period, and the ubiquitous Big Brother is not as popular as Zhang. After all, the British are small scenes, not as good as the...

      Under that shady chestnut tree, I betray you and you betray me. Simply horrible! ! ! I bought the book a few years ago, but I just couldn't read it. If you read the original book and then watch the movie, you will dislike this movie. Be sure to read the book immediately. Thought crime is death. This is the legendary...

    Movie quotes

    • O'Brien: We shall meet in the place were there is no darkness.

    • Winston Smith: We are the dead.

    • Winston Smith: I know you'll fail. Something in this world... some spirit you will never overcome...

      O'Brien: What is it, this principle?

      Winston Smith: I don't know. The spirit of man.

      O'Brien: And do you consider yourself a man?

      Winston Smith: Yes.

      O'Brien: If you're a man, Winston, you're the last man. Your kind is extinct. We are the inheritors. Do you realize that you are alone? You are outside history. You unexist. Get up.

      [Winston gets up and O'Brien shows him his reflection in a mirror. Winston is disheveled and beaten]

      O'Brien: *That* is the last man. If you are human, *that* is humanity.
