Movie Reviews of 1984
Movie Review: An interesting take on Orwell's classic negative Utopia
Summary: 5 Stars
Orwell's classic depiction of a totalitarianist government opressing society to the brink of stupidity, and the disheartening tale of Winston Smith's defeat in his fight against the system, is depicted in this enlightening film, with John Hurt portraying a demure, sullen Smith. The film's plot follows suit to the novel's quite religiously, with only minor changes made to suit the traversal from the mind's eye to the big screen; Big Brother is as you would expect: menacing, imposing, consuming. Smith also fits one's mental picture: tired, repressed, possessing only a few glimmers of hope enveloped in a thick blue fabric of depression. The scenario, costuming, and effects are fitting to the book. While not overpowering the viewer, they communicate the atmosphere that the Party has created, from the dark alleys in the prole section to the foreboding building, the Ministry of Truth, that Winston is tortured in. The film only falls short of its mark in the field of intensity. At times, Orwell stresses his characters in situations almost unimaginable to the mind's eye; in the film, these same situations are portrayed rather apathetically. Artistic rights aside, the depiction could have included more of Orwell's original thematic interplay with Winston's tortururous ordeals after being captured. Nevertheless, the film is an excellent depiction of the novel, and is an artistic work of its own merit. END
