Never heard anything about either of the films.
But in high school last year, some classes read 1984 and said it was great. That's right, a bunch of high school kids enjoying a book.
Film should be good, I watched 100 Scariest Moments on tv last night and saw some of 1984, looked ok lol

I read the book, which was good, then saw the movie. the movie was a PIECE OF DREK. it wouldn't even make a lot of sense if you hadn't read the book first, but overall it was just really poorly done. except the brainwashing at the end however, that was still kinda neat, but not half as good as the book.

That's how they monitor you.
Even when you turn the TV off a small white light stays in the middle of the screen, it's really a camera. And all over the place there is a big poster of BIG BROTHER. EVERYWHERE! There are cameras in the Big Brother posters.

It's been so long since I read the book. I think if you turned it off somebody came to your house or you couldn't turn it off because you just didn't have the desire to. It always made a humming sound.
dont ruin the film for me!!
hahahaha

Ahh ok, but yeah, even when just turned off, so the red stand by light is on, it doesn't hum lol.

sorry i'll stop posting hehe
you should read the book, unless you don't like reading
Orwell i think is the guy that wrote it. He also wrote ANIMAL FARM which is an excellent story about uprise, rebellion, and all that grandeur. Even though it's about animals taking over a farm, it's a metaphor for the minority overtaking the power.

Nope i love reading....but only if the books good! lol
but i have heard that the book is sooooo much better than the film.....so i might just get the book instead.
Yeah it was George Orwell that created it...and when i was at school one of the other years there were reading animal farm....some said it was good....and others hated it.....i might have to check it out at some point......
Cheers dude :D

I was going to point out the 4,444th post in another post but decided you would pass that post up quickly since 4,444th posts is alot..seeming how was it ONLY A FUCKING WEEK AGO you were at 3,500...fucking bogus man slow down so I can catch up! L0L
I think Canadians make TV's and sell them to Japan for bigger profit and then they sell it to England for a BIGGER profit and then ENGLAND sells it to America for EVEN BIGGER PROFIT, and that's the conspiracy.

In year 11, last year our English class read Empire of the Sun, it's a great book about the war in Japan and how things change drastically from a young boy's perspective (Jim).
I recommend it!

Yeah, we read 1984 and Animal Farm in my US History class. I've come to this conclusion.
If you're smart, you will love them both. If you're a moron, you'll get confused and proclaim that the book is stupid, not you.
Oh, and if you're a fan of Orwell, you should also read Down and Out in Paris and London.
