what is truth

I started watching 1984 yesterday, but I couldn't find anything from iQiyi or Tencent, so I was going to look for resources. I first looked for the 1956 version, either without subtitles or the subtitle delay was ridiculous, so I watched the newer version. In short, it was a very hard process to find resources twice, but after I watched the whole movie, I found that there is a reason for the difficulty in finding resources, but it is not easy to say, in short, such a movie should be placed in a certain era of the last century. This moment will go to two extremes, either as a drug, taboo, or a little processed and highly publicized. Of course, the movie is not as good as the original work. When I heard that the original work itself was published, it was rejected by the literary world. I can't say how good it is, but time can test it. "Time can give the answer." The dramatic thing is that this is in the movie Same thing. Not reading the original book may be due to laziness, but I can't deny my enthusiasm for watching movies, and I can also use "to read other books" as an excuse. Below are some inaccurate thoughts. Ignorance people either only believe what the majority believes, and even if they speak out, they are regarded as "opposite" and alien, or they only see the only one. The former is cruel compared to the latter, and the latter is hopeless. It is precisely these two kinds of ignorance that are revealed in the movie, I think it is reflected in the change of the plot and the change of the character of the protagonist. Winston went from being sneaky to being slightly upright to being destroyed, from insisting on the truth to doubting the truth to complicit with the "truth", this can't be blamed, because I know that Winston is not as noble, and if I were tortured, I would definitely bow my head and bow down. I may have given up on myself long ago at the beginning of this world. But what does this mean? The use of means by the core members, the hiding of supervision, and the over-the-top manipulation of ideas made me wonder if everything I saw and heard was really there, rather than whether it was correct in itself. Even those things that are obviously fake are very naturally present and performed. However, in everything, I can see the puppet being pulled up, and I can vaguely see the line of the vassal, but I can't see the master of the thread, and I don't know what Big Brother did. But on the other side I can see at least hear someone named Goldstein, at least have an organization, have spoken, written a book. With the eradication of orgasm and the popularization of artificial insemination, the concept of family can be dissolved; ignorance is power, etc., etc., if people, especially the upper classes, worship Big Brother naturally and from the heart, believe in the opposite of truth, and then start from the bottom. A generation has been taught so from birth, so hope may be in the matter of being destroyed. Winston believes that the way to defeat lies in "people" or "time," and that's right.

Looking back, I found that the movie gave me a sense of ambiguity.

1984 quotes

  • 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.

  • O'Brien: Power is tearing human minds apart and putting them back together in new shapes of your own choosing.
