About this product

Product Information

A fine and stunning screen adaptation of George Orwell's prophetic 1948 novel about a world in which the government completely controls the masses by controlling their thoughts, altering history and even changing the meaning of words to suit its needs. This was Richard Burton's final film.

  • MIGHT ONLY HAVE BEEN OFF BY A COUPLE OF YEARS....

    WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN... AND MIGHT STILL BE. -- SUPERB PERFORMANCES BY HURT AND BURTON, BOTH ROLES IN OPPOSITION, BOTH STAGGERINGLY COMPELLING. A WAKE-UP FILM FOR EVERY GENERATION WHO THINKS IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN....

  • Heavy situation, a life worth fighting against.

    This purchase went very well. No problems at all ! A well acted nightmare situation ! Many similarities to the current administration, ie closing opportunities for citizens, creating biased laws so that law abiding citizens automatically become criminals... Hmmm scary !

  • A Survey of History and the Future.

    One historic film from a short list of socially important titles that should be required viewing for all young people. Home schooling parents would do well to include this title with such bold classics as: How Green Was My Valley Grapes of Wrath Soylent Green Omega Man Doctor Zhivago Last of the Mohicans The Pianist Good Will Hunting Schindlers List War of the Worlds Wizard of Oz The Yearling These are uncomplicated, time tested stories that will always be a proper and safe taste of the real world at various times in history.

  • 1984/2020 both dates are foreboding

    This rendition with Burton is great! The torture chamber-re-education chamber ROOM 101 is the only thing that the democrats haven't technically created yet, but I'll bet it is on their drawing board!

  • 1984

    This movie is out of print so it is very expensive but found it for a steal on Ebay. This is an excellent adaptation of the novel. Would recommend it to everyone!

  • The book is usually better than the movie. In this case, both were boring.

    Great story, but after the book, I thought the movie might be better. I was wrong.
