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.

  • A classic -must have film

    I had a copy of this film before, and loaned it to a friend, never got it back. I consider it a "must-have" in my collection. Of course it is based on the George Orwell book by the same name, and offers a rather dark and dismal look at a possible future scenario in which all activity is controlled by the government- "Big Brother." Sadly there are many similarities to our present situation in the U.S. In the film they practice "newspeak" a practice in which the meanings of words are changed, or the word is not allowed, much like todays' "political correctness." In the film there is an ongoing war which forces the citizenry to ration most essentials. I suspect that there is no war at all, it is government propaganda used to explain the continued lack of resources and dire poverty.There is a ...

  • Accurate and powerful rendering

    Merely a few days after finishing my read of George Orwell's fantastic 1948 novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four", I was immediately keen on looking to rent the modern film version, "1984" - filmed, appropriately enough, not only during the actual YEAR of 1984, but also during the exact same short span of months that the story took place in. This, to me, is a prime example of perfect, and unbelievably well-timed, brilliance. A picture based on such complex, prophetic, and well-known material could have turned out to be a complete disaster (which it certainly had potential for, judging from the horrendous-looking DVD cover); thankfully, however, I was not disappointed. "1984" is probably one of the most, if not THE most, masterful transitions from book to movie I have ever seen. Easily, its most ...

  • Hard to find movie

    I purchased this movie for my son because he has been looking for it for quite some time. He read the book also, and really likes it. As for me, I'm not overly thrilled with the story. It was a little to "strange" for my taste.

  • Good movie

    I bought this because I teach the novel every year, and I was getting frustrated trying to find the movie in local video stores. Very good adaptation of the novel.
