The film begins with a quote:
"Who controls the past controls the future,
Who controls the present controls the past."
Everything is under the full control of the "big brother". The body, mind, and mind of all people cannot escape this severe and almost cruel bondage and control. All slogans, slogans, and shouts just add a layer of golden shackles to the already scattered hearts. Right or wrong depends only on Big Brother. The streets and alleys are full of Big Brother's gloomy and stern face watching people's every move. There is no privacy and no freedom. Most of the people's extreme worship and piety for Big Brother are only based on a kind of oppression and fear. Uniform clothing, scientific management, repetitive movements, dull and rigid expressions, and the data in newspapers and broadcasts continue to show the improvement of living water quality over and over again. It's all so vivid, so vivid, so vivid, and there seems to be an astonishingly familiar overlap between trance and reality. I rarely care about politics or talk about it because it's so unfair that it's in the hands of a few. They love to publicize and sing praises, but do not accept disclosure and disclosure. They use numbers to list the progress of each agricultural indicator and the new upsurge of economic development, so we are trapped in a vicious circle, and we begin to become blind, imprisoned, and changed. Get mechanical, become cold. So we became the hostages of numbers and made their worship of numbers.
There is such a clip in the film: a group of children in neat uniforms sing together on the bus, the expressions on the children's faces are so immature and firm, the singing is so clean and pure, but what is sung in the song is cruel And violent language. This seems to correspond to the scene of the fat man behind him being put in a cell. He said that he was a thought criminal and was exposed by his daughter. He was proud of her daughter... Sure enough, everything has to "start from a baby". Always go deep into the heart of the ruler. So it seems that this kind of injustice has followed us from the moment of birth. No one has discussed with us and throws us in this world, so we have no choice to grow up according to the given coordinates and trajectory, so We can be three kinds of people. The first type of people are like fat men and all the surly and silent, angry but submissive, enslaved people who die numbly while listening to fake news. The second is like Winston and Julia, who are keen, contradictory, trying to break free, but unable to contend with reality, so they are brutally suppressed, so "you betrayed me, I betrayed you". So the movie ends with despair. What the film brings us is not just a coincidence with history and reality, it is more like a sharp knife stabbed into people's numb and sick hearts. So I am glad that I still have a choice other than movies, I can still choose, to be the third kind of person, with an awakened consciousness, a clear mind, and a critical spirit. I can be tolerant, I can love, I can be joyful, I can be at peace, and I can be free.
