Movie Reviews of Nineteen Eighty Four
Movie Review: A star filled movie
Summary: 5 Stars
1984, the classical 1954 BBC television version is full of great stars and wonderful images. They do a great job of following the story and trying to keep the feel of the novel. Peter Cushing plays Winston Smith and of course can be seen in such great films as Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope (1977 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition) and he is also known to me as the big screen Dr. Who as in The Doctor Who Collection. His thin, tired looking body and his skills as an actor make him a perfect Smith. Andre Morell who played O'Brien is also known for playing Professor Bernard Quatermass in Quatermass And The Pit. Of course, this version was adapted for the BBC by Nigel Kneale, who invented Quatermass. Andre's manners, his calm demeanor, his appearance all screams power. Wonderful! Yvonne Mitchell is lovely to look at and seems to be a good actress. Her down fall is made all the more terrible in the end by the change in her appearance - she goes from pretty to ugly. I thought they had replaced her! Donald Pleasence who plays Syme in this version also plays Parsons in the later version of 1984 and does a wonderful job of being a loyal party member who, frankly, knows just a little too much on how the system works. Campbell Gray who plays Parsons in this version is perfect for the part. Kind of reminds me of Aubrey Morris but they are two different people.
If you are a fan of the BBC or 1984, get this DVD.
