Résumé: After The Atomic War the world is divided into three states. London is the capital of Oceania, ruled by a party who has total control over all its citizens. Winston Smith is one of the bureaucrats, rewriting history in one of the departments. One day he commits the crime of falling in love with Julia. They try to escape Big Brother's listening and viewing devices, but, of course, nobody can really escape...
Commentaire: "1984"--the book and the movie pretty much predicted the future of modern political systems: There are "security" cameras everywhere, government wiretaps, torture chambers(check out the LA Ramparts police scandal), and many "thought crimes"--courts have ruled that is does not matter if you actually committed a crime, only that you *thought* you were committing a crime. The only thing this movie didn't predict is that it was the most affluent societies that would be the most repressive (The U.S. has the most number of prisoners and the highest incarceration rate in the world). This movie should be watched and heeded by all those concerned about the future of modern man.
