"The past is erased, the erased is forgotten , and the
lie becomes the truth, and then becomes the lie again."

Published in 1984 in 1949, it was not put on the screen until 1984. Although I have seen Animal Farm, I am still shocked by such a genius prediction by George Orwell.
Wang Xiaobo said: "Intellectuals are most afraid of living in an age of irrationality." In this film, the hero Winston lives in an age of authoritarianism that does not allow thinking. In this era, people are surrounded by ubiquitous telescreens, whether they are living, working or studying. They act according to the government's guidance in the telescreen and unconditionally support the big brother of the government. The government advocated "Ignorance is glory!" So notebooks, a tool for personal emotional release, became a forbidden item; the government advocated "gradually and completely disintegrate the family!" So tens of thousands of young women took to the streets and vowed never to get married.
"It's not just about living, it's about being human," Winston said as he embraced Julia at the secret location of the tryst.
2+2 is equal to how many. Sometimes, the answer is neither 4 nor 5 nor 3. The best answer is: I don't know.
I don't want to make this article too political, and I don't intend to discuss the so-called collective thought above all slogans or ideas such as XXXX is good or good.

"Thinking sin is inevitable, it's about to infect you."
If thinking is a sin, it makes us unforgivable.

"Stay away from me, Smith. I'm Gorgostein's spy, and I didn't even know it myself. Thought crime is inevitable, it's about to infect you. My daughter found it, and I'm proud of her. . Happily I was discovered before I became hopeless."

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.
