1984 is on
 

The movie 1984 is on now on BBC America (264 on DTV)

I wanted to read the book but the movie will do for not until it comes :)

That was a horrible movie.

read it dont watch it.

The movie isnt quite as good as i thought so far, i guess i will have to stick with reading the book to be able to really appreciate it

what is it about?

the movie is doo-doo read the BOOK:thumbsup

Actually, the book is no great shakes, either. A fascinating concept and a good story but not all that well executed.

1984

Seriously it's about "Big Brother " taking over the world and running it to their own ends.

You have to look at the times that Orwell lived in to undersand why it's like it is.

But consider it from the point of view of people who live in dictatorships.

Read Brave New World, much better IMO.

I was going to suggest that, too. I like A Brave New World.

if you're going to watch a movie watch <font size=5>Brazil</font>

Will it make me paranoid? :1orglaugh (1984)



Actually a friend of mine was telling me to read that book too.. I guess I will now.

agreed.

and 1984 is a great book.

wasn't Huxley Orwell's student at sometime,i read that book on the fluke and was like damn good book.

Anyone read Animal farm

the book is really good.. i recommend it for reals!!

BIGUPS TO BIG BROTHA

sure. another good book. the rise of Stalin.

I prefer reading Future Shock, but you can't really knock the 1984 novel. It's a good read, at least once.

Check out Future Shock by Alvin Toffler for those who haven't read it.
