That's pretty much how the Oceania (or at least London) of 1984 was envisioned in the 1955 movie starring Edmond O'Brien. Everything was sterile, white, antiseptic. The art direction in the newer film was intended to be as Orwell himself might have imagined it, complete with the dilapidated apartments, shoddy consumer goods and late-1940s technology (round TV screens, dial phones, pneumatic tubes, etc.).

Because a centrally planned economy results in shortages of basic consumer goods, and the goods that are available are often shoddy -- just like in the old Soviet Union, The best way to ensure quality goods and services for all, delivered efficiently and at the fairest price, is capitalism and free market competition.

That was SPAM! Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam . . .
No film or TV adaptation of "Nineteen Eighty-four," or ANY novel for that matter, is completely faithful to the source material. But this version comes pretty close.

it's mind boggeling how one novel could influence a civilization as much as 1984 did.
If you see, I mean really see the war 4 terror, for what it is, the mind control is even more intence. but that I guess, is because this is reality, and that was a book, a very scary one, but at least I could put it down and think about something else.

You don't get tortured or shot, but if you're a researcher looking to get peer reviewed for something implying different, you can flushed down the toilet.
You got it backwards. All of those people are supporting the idea of GW because the global tax will bring in money to them.
GW is a manufactured lie ball spit up from some imbred rothschild shill.
I'm far from left-wing, as many others. I don't buy global warming.

I'm pretty sure in the novel it states that she has short,dark brown hair and freckles. Meets the description perfect. They also said she was not very attractive, either. |
