Andrew P @RT46484941 6 days ago Too many deviations from the book, but paradoxically would not have made sense had not one prior read the book. See more bruce F @bruce999 Sep 11, 2026 emotionless and hard to understand.... because many words are used (that were made up in the book). it could of been good, but its a waste of time. but its still ok. See more Jason S @RT51713650 Sep 5, 2026 This film is about as close to the original novel as you're ever going to get. John Hurt's performance is dead on and Richard Burton (his last film role) is devastating as O'Brien. It's a much more subdued performance than most of his other films and He's absolutely brilliant! See more Blade R @BladeRene Jul 30, 2026 1984 is a bleak and thought-provoking film that captures the crushing weight of totalitarianism. Rather than focusing on action, it explores how absolute power can destroy not only freedom, but also love, hope, and even truth itself. I found the ending abrupt at first, but ultimately realized that this is exactly the point. The Party doesn't just control people's lives—it prevents any meaningful future from existing. The film's hopeless conclusion perfectly reinforces its central message, making it a powerful adaptation of Orwell's vision. See more Frans B @FransB Jul 25, 2026 Brilliant. Well it is based on a George Orwell classic and some scenes were even shot on the dates mentioned in the book, which is remarkable. Very well directed and brilliantly written. Very good cinematography manages to capture the bleak and hopeless ambiance perfectly. Whole cast excels in character. John Hurt, Richard Burton and Suzanna Hamilton notably portray their characters perfectly. Benchmark dystopian, totalitarian movie. Not much different from real world hey?
