[killdoser123]

Is it saying sex crime? at beginning?

[justnastazja]

Does anyone else feel that this movie can be remade today?

George Orwell was a fraud. He was an MI5 agent deputised to write up the planned coming tyranny but to throw people off the scent by saying that it would come from the right and not the liberals and the left from where it is now coming. He hid the fact that the Rothschild family (current estimated fortune 37 trillion) were to lead the NWO by making the hero of the book Jewish. We were all taken in and now we face international tyranny in a sleepwalking state.

[BasilFawlty4444]

@americaisbacktrump erm I have no idea what you are talking about...

but Orwell fought in the Spanish civil war on the side of the Republicans. As a socialist, he was forced to leave by (supposedly allied) Soviet hostility. This made him a lifelong opponent of Stalinism. Thus, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm portray betrayed revolutions, where the underlying principles of equality, justice and freedom have been forgotten.

[GambitFox79]

@americaisbacktrump Orwell made it pretty clear in "Homage to Catalonia" that tyranny could come from both conservative and liberal forces. Have you read it? He basically spelled out that his Socialist vision could be corrupted into tyranny. Corruption came from people who desperately wanted socialism, but were too eager to give their power to a government that promised to lead the revolution for them.

Respectfully, your comment lacks the logic necessary to make it a fact. i

[americaisbacktrump]

@GambitFox79 That book was not going to be read. The book that was going to be read was 1984 where Orwell deliberatly missled us us all allowing the liberals and the left full reign to develope their tyranny while keeping up a Trotskyite hate campaign against the right framing them as fascist or nazi. His choice of hero could not have been a mistake as Orwell knew darn well who controlled the worlds monetary system; the Rothschilds. No, I am convinced that 1984 was commissioned by MI5. 

[KaThRyniSn0tAlonE]

The background music is really absurd considering the overall plot of 1984....

sex crime...lol

[addieaquarius]

started readin this book for summer readin today. really confused. but it seems like its all true....

[BluezGuitarz]

Cameras are everywhere. Computers keep track of everything you buy; eMail and phone calls are on file forever. The Ministry of Truth tell us that unemployment is under 10%, there's no inflation, the Great Recession ended 18 months ago, and the wars are being won. History is revised daily. Conspiracy Theorists believe the Social Media movement is a data center. Some believe that Twitter is a form of "NewSpeak". 1984 is just a book, but you should read it, even if you Love Big Brother.

[ISMOPANAMA]

May all that is good in the Universe help us with our struggle against the NEW WORLD ORDER ( NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM ).....

[andipoetic]

This was the best book EVER!!

[ThoughtPolicia]

[bluereaper75]

gotta love how cheery the music is considering the context of the movie itself

[kacen4644]

i just got finished reading this book! loved it



[spacenoise5]

music sucks for the trailer

[pacman5698]

2+2=4

[northrupthebandgeek]

@pacman5698 No, 2 + 2 = 5.

[pacman5698]

@northrupthebandgeek I still se 4.

[aizik2005]

In the end, Winston loves Big Brother

[melvert33]

@aizik2005 I've just applied doublethink. Read the book recently and the Room 101 bit is brutal, great book

[ColinMcDonaldGrant]

@aizik2005 Spoiler alert? Glad I read the book before looking this up.

[RJosephReece]

"Win the Future".....

[peppilepiu]

youtube is the new 2 minute- hate.....and as long as it's distracting from reality, youtube won't be touched.

[BadHairsRevenge1981]

...and when using lol, rofl, lmao, omg, omfg, etc., it is "new speak" and the sheeple don't even know it. Disgusting...and then Winston loved big brother. Water down speech and you water down thought. Oh yeah, add fluoride to your system and you become docile just like in Nazi concentration camps.

[majordbag2]

0:57 God I love that quote!

[Doctor699]

The music realy doesn't take this film to serious. Its like something i would compose. A total joke!

[ocerg1111]

"war is peace" -Big Brother

"This war is about peace" -Geroge w. Bush

[nameno1elsehas]

@ocerg1111 I don't know where you've been the past couple of years... Bush isn't pressy no more

[sturm198]

BMG is the Big Brother.

[TriiksFerrKids]

i had to read this book for school... IT SUCKS

[kingofqwerty]

@TriiksFerrKids You poor thing. Did they make you learn something?

[marmielake]

see?? they totally ripped off "1984" for their stupid icp pseudo gang sign throwing thing.

[peppilepiu]

Does anybody notice the similarity between the many Youtube pissed off rants, and the 2 minute "hates" in 1984?.......btw....... this trailer music does suck.

[cutiecookie23]

LOL/ wats with the music in the backround,..isnt this supposed to be serious?????

[MrFspook]

Anyone who gives up LIBERTY for SECURITY deserves neither!! Ben Franklin The Sheep must wake up.

[TheEloeo]

Michael Bay will direct the remake,it will star Michelle Rodriguez and Jason Statham.

[Agent4286]

@TheEloeo the sad thing is your right.

[Agroupproductions]

is it just me or did they get Winston all wrong? he looks 50

[TheEloeo]

@Agroupproductions Hurt was 34 at the time.But the book itself implies that people in their 30's looked like in their 50's because of the horrible living conditions of 1984 London.

[zerker12568901]

WAR IS PEACE

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY

IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

[Doctor699]

@zerker12568901 NO NO AND NO! Make me try to obey that shit and i will turn my left artery against my spine. I'll die and you will never win!

Death is freedom

Death is peace

Ignorace is death!

[stochasticmonk]

I don't know what the heck is going on in this documentary, but I bet it's that goshdern federal government's fault somehow.

[gerherbel]

i AM big brother

[Didymosrules]

Wow the techno ruins the trailer! Good grief I couldn't stand it. It was like a lame disco theme techno in an age of terror sponsored by the government.

[musicismylife374]

@Didymosrules i completely agree. i was like wtf this music does not match the trailer what so ever. it was pissing me off. >.<

[Church104]

2+2= What ever the fuck Big Brother tells you

[lucenaflip]

That is such a horrible song for the film.

[VercettiVice]

hah life is so fuckin unfair eh we're all screwed. I just wonder what'll be of my grandchildren...

[flumoxed38]

In 1984 everybody was reading this 30 year old book. Now in 2010 it's becoming a reality. A horrifying reality. Technology has unfortunately made it possible. Life is no longer worth living. These are the beginnings, it's only going to get worse and we HAVE to do something!!!

[walkers198]

@flumoxed38

Life is always worth living. The bible has the final say. Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

[prnkstr]

@walkers198 Only the weak and insecure will lean lean on a fictional character for "strength" through life.

[degree7]

Sex sex sex sex - crime, crime cr-cr-crime!

[2ShotProductions]

I hate the music that is coupled with this trailer for such a serious and amazing book

[gofojibwas]

@2ShotProductions Yeah, what the fuck!

[craigalan100]

@humanheadcheese

that sounds like something someone would say if they were working for government scheme...put the onus back on the info....nice try.

[mstruthseeker1984]

The should do a remake or miniseries on tv

[jawillis75]

The music in this trailer WAS part of the original soundtrack done by the Eurythmics. The film was originally released on VHS with the Eurythmics soundtrack but was redone for the DVD release with another soundtrack

[jelly769]

@Getsen42 hahahahahahahahahahahaa!

[AriesTRam]

I thought the film was a good adaptation of the book. It captures the squalid existence of Oceania quite well. Sure, the book is much better, but it one tried to adapt the book precisely, you'd have a 12-hour miniseries.

[ichmalealsobinich]

Orwell is rolling in his grave considering that all his prophecies in his novel became true: total control of citizens, no protection of personal data, new political correct speech e.t.c.

[GilbertsV1]

@ichmalealsobinich And I'm sure he will have prefer something else ! Well, this is what really going on ! I like that Annie Lennox song in the trailer !

[caiofons]

@GilbertsV1 The songs fits well !

[BuyBenco]

@ichmalealsobinich Yeah crazy Obama political correctness with no reason behind it

[flumoxed38]

@BuyBenco I reckon Political correctness was socially engineered, deliberately.

[BuyBenco]

@flumoxed38 Yeop

[lukeloseth]

@ichmalealsobinich i don't think he'd be rolling in his grave, he'd just be nodding sadly like he knew all along... he was a very clear thinker, he wrote it partially as a prophecy of a possible future.

[DevinTClark]

@ichmalealsobinich

In a way both of the authors were true, we are controlled by both the things we love and hate. We are forced and we are free

[F0ndu]

@ichmalealsobinich Actually I propose that it's Huxley's vision, not Orwell's that is the more immediate future. (not to say that Orwell's isn't around the corner)

[rncarvalho]

@F0ndu I agree with you 110%. It is not Orwell's future that we must fear....It's Huxley's

[TheXJ47]

@ichmalealsobinich

ummmm...

What do you mean "Total control of Citizens"???

(I disagree with the other points too, but that's the main one)

[JHulse29]

@ichmalealsobinich Who did it come true for? Certainly not for Americans. If you think so, then you have NO IDEA of what total control really means

[stopglobalswarming]

Will smith is annoying

[12345dawun]

This does NOT look like the book was.

[jvemPiRe14]

think its just the silly 80s trailer music

[ireifla]

I saw this movie and isnt an bad adaptation

[BryceProductions5]

Im glad they didn't use that music in the actual movie. the real music is better.(more serious)

[narutofan9tf]

i bet will smith is going to be in the remake...

[GrumpyOldChap]

Is that a fact? When is this remake going to be released?

[tom8fallon8]

sorry lol as if I just wrote this film is rubbish watch the film instead :)

i mean read the book instead.

[tom8fallon8]

apparently this film is rubbish watch the film instead

[lexiandskyla4ever]

to gaellenedji...

it's not the trailer that is supposed to scare people it's the message!!!!!!

think about THAT for a while, will you?

[yethboth]

It was 1948 that George Orwell had the vision not 1949, hence the title of the book 1984 which was basically the 4 and the 8 swapped round. The much darker and serious UK Trailer gets the narration correct by stating 1948 and not 1949.

[xmenfan117]

the book was released in 1949! dumbass!!

[ABCNaccount]

It was realesed in 1949, but the book was being written in 1948.

[GaelleNedji]

lol that is the crappiest trailer i ever scene in my life! Were people on crack in the 80s XD. None of that was even close to terrifying. Anyone who disagrees with me is lying!

[SpinningWebs]

You're an idiot

[dreamyyak]

True, and illiterate.....

[samadhir]

I used to hate the Eurythmis soundtrack, thinking it completely unfit for this movie, but now I actually like it; it does have some strange, ironic resonance with the bleak dystopia in the film.

In any case, a great adaptation of a great novel.

[HeronOfHeaven]

There are two rooms 101 in China Communist Emperor which are Hong Kong and Taiwan

They keep the Chinese traditional culture but the mainland Maoism Emperor destory our self-will and some parts of over 5000 years old culture, such as music,books,gasture...

The traditional Chinese are not as rough as the Chinese on the new age, they used to be the world strongest country...

but the strongest from now ..British and US forgive the Emperor..2084 is still coming

[Saxophonist992]

Everything George Orwell predicted is happening now, maybe not to the same extreme level, but I have a feeling that soon it will be

[alaaaan26]

no doubt, its all turning cctv 24/7

fucking truman show steez

[heistsy]

now watch the original UK trailer... pretty much sums up the atlantic divide

[markjayaweera]

Down with the Fascist New World Order.

[Urvy1A]

Underrated movie, and also Richard Burton's final film.

Also, it's notible for a clash between 2 soundtracks. The 2003 MGM DVD has the score only.

[AlUzzah]

Take that Ayn Rand crap off the 'About this video'.

It's an utter disgrace to Orwell's memory.

[Jihadist]

Doubleplusgood video comrades, send all Thoughtcriminals to the miniluv! Down with goldsteinism! bellyfeel BB day order. Chocorat has been increased. Oldthinkers unbellyfeel IngSoc. The war is with Eurasia or Eastasia, whatever the party says at the time! No love but love of the party! Love of big brother! 2 + 2 = 5. Ignorance is strength. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Comrades, The revolution will be complete when the language is perfect!

[AnnieLennox1954]

Yay!! Eurythmics!! Bought this movie on VHS for a heft $30- worth every cent.

[Pksoze]

We're not even close to 1984... I read the novel...we're certainly not in a Utopia but we have far more freedom of thought and expression than poor Winston.

[bob1qaz]

People think were at the end and USA and many other countrys have gone to shit but this shows what the final outcome of a country going to hell is or in my opionion (reached its peak muwhahaha) The fucking up of the world has just begun!

[scarman1998]

Luckily it hasn't come true in Western world, but North Korea is unfortuantely damn close to it.

[BogdanGMarin]

I half agree with you dear sir. North Korea is covered with decay and death but remember one thing... that is important: They are here on earth and that means that we can help them, we Europe and you USA (for example). So they are not in the same situation as in this book. Because in "1984"- all the world has fallen.

[jolorulz]

the music sucks donkey balls. But overall... the trailer is cool.

[Cokoholicar]

Your mama sucks donkey balls
