Peter Cushing was realy a freaking amazing actor

[peterdcarter1]

1984 was nothing like this. I went on holiday to Barry Island with my parents, you didn't forsee that did you Eric.

Although I did work in a call centre in the 90's that was like this.

[rufinoman]

Agreed, the book is a masterpiece.

The building at the begining looks like the new "Shard" building in London!

[TheLadyPoe]

LOL!

[chuggachuggawoowoo]

Look at the microphone shadow at 2:50.

I've just been reading and loving Nineteen-Eighty-Four, so when I heard about this with Cushing I had to see it. I think it would be difficult to find a better Winston - not only is he an amazing actor, his physical look and expression makes him ideal for the part.
