George Orwell’s famous work, one of the three dystopias, and there are several versions. It seems that "Nineteen Eighty Four" in 1984 is the most respected. In fact, this film cannot surpass the literary text because it is difficult for us. Divorced from the framework and ideology of literary text... The film does not blindly attack a kind of totalitarianism or authoritarianism, but an abstract annotation. With the beginning of human beings, it has become a social form, and this ideological control already exists. The film is nothing more than strengthening and extreme. The future will not change, but the methods will be more hidden and advanced...War is peace, enslavement is freedom, ignorance is power... On the one hand, popular culture is the object of enslavement by the notified class. On the one hand, it is also a challenge and soft confrontation to high culture. Why does the masses have to be elegant? Starting from human nature, vulgarity is not closer to animality. Why must it be cultivated and sublimated? Who instilled this ideology? Is it because people generally recognize elegance that mainstream discourse power can be held in the hands of the elite... We hope cultural awareness, but the reality is that neither the elite nor the public have mastered the essence of Chinese culture, so under both sides of aphasia, only It can be a call-to-type slogan. The elites only blindly criticize and criticize the public's bad works and vulgar tastes, but they have lost the ability to intervene in the facts themselves... As for people who are deeply panicked about the future, don't worry too much, first of all At the moment, we are not so dissatisfied with "Nineteen Eighty Four". Secondly, Fromm's escape from freedom is also human nature. In other words, everyone may not really think how bad "Nineteen Eighty Four" is. This is human beings. You don’t have to use a servility to denigrate the roots of the movie... Returning to the film book, I may be watching the castrated version, and a lot of sex scenes have been cut out. This is very "Nineteen Eighty Four" in itself... As for the lens and The narrative is very respectful of the original work. I like the dark and gray tones, but the rendering of the big brother is limited. I don’t know if it has been tailored. The film is boring with depression... I don’t think the film is aimed at some societies. The ideological state is an attack on all regimes themselves. However, due to the realistic ideological framework, the stitched representation is a softening of the text of the novel. Therefore, we have to admit with regret, "Nineteen Eighty Eight "Four" is everywhere...

[Winston writes in his forbidden diary]
Winston Smith: [voice-over] If there is hope, it lies in the proles. If they could become conscious of their own strength, they would have no need to conspire. History does not matter to them.

[Winston describes visiting a prostitute in the off-limit proletarian areas in his diary]
Winston Smith: [voice-over] It was three years ago, on a dark evening. Easy to slip past the patrols, and I'd gone into the proletarian areas. There was no one else on the street, and no telescreens. She said, "Two dollars," so I went with her. She had a young face, painted very thick. It was really was the paint that appealed to me: white like a mask, and bright red lips. There were no preliminaries. Standing there with the smell of dead insects and cheap perfume, I went and did it just the same.
