George Orwell - A Life in Pictures "SOMEBODY HAD a huge amount of fun making George Orwell: A Life in Pictures (BBC Two, Sunday) — the producer-director Chris Durlacher to be precise. In my college teaching days, we would get our media students to try to mimic the photographic or film styles of the past. They were useful and usually popular exercises.
This biography turned out to be the Media Studies exercise to end them all. The narrator Barbara Flynn explained that there are no moving images of George Orwell nor surviving recordings of his voice. Given that we have wax cylinders of Tennyson croaking his way through The Charge of the Light Brigade, this is disappointing."

@CamerOneiric Orwell was British you know?

It's insulting that this is aired on BBC.

@gamegloss It helps me, upon waking, to proclaim, "I know nothing!" Allthesame, I say it with a mind that I know enough to say it, which signifies something else: perhaps a self-analysis always distorting to improve upon, whether superficially positive or negative, inner, untapped aspirations.

@Ariel62073 Isn´t that human nature though? To set your yourself above and beyond the scum that toil away their days, in complete ignorance of the elegant understanding we conveniently reserve for ourselves. I was like it the first time I read a good book and I suspect I am no better in that respect to this very day. Even my awareness of my arrogance will never be of any help in taming it, despite my efforts.

He who attains his ideal, by that very fact transcends it- Nietzsche ;D

@romeodiscos does anything you said make any type of sense? The economy was doomed before Obama even took office. Oh yeah, and its no Ron Paul's tea party anymore. otherwise the continuous spew of shit from their mouths wouldnt be such a frequent occurrence.... yeah

I've read 3 of his novels and they were all brilliant. Orwell was one hell of a good writer :)
