Orwell's 1984 with John Hurt and Richard Burton
5 von 6 finden das hilfreich This is a very faithful adaptation of the book as far as it goes. The oppressive, dreary, monotone darkness of Oceania is palpable, as are Winston's emotional swings from dull resignation to vague unfocused rumblings of revolt, to abject terror.
The problem is that the movie is just too short and moves too fast. There is insufficient plot and character development for the viewer to really establish a connection with Winston and his mindset, or to truly appreciate the depth of oppression party members experience in Oceania - right down to continually re-writing history and eviscerating the language in efforts to make "thoughtcrime" impossible. Viewers who have read the book recently will have no problem following the movie, but will likely come away feeling that somehow the movie "missed" something. Viewers who read the book years ago will come away feeling that the movie must have left something out altogether. Viewers who have not read (and appreciated) the book will find it pretty rough going.
Nonetheless, for true fans of the book, the movie provides a very satisfying visualization of Orwell's story.
