If Orwell had known what future was awaiting him, he might not have been so sad to leave the world so early.

@rerevisionist read his journalism and investigative autobiographies if you want his opinions stated plainly.

It's quite funny to read these comments. Orwell was just another 'useful idiot'. The whole Jewish causation of the USSR is missed out. That's why he's prasied - BECAUSE he doesn't in fact say anything very helpful. He describes, but doesn't analyse.

@matchbox555 earlier in the movie there is a quote of orwells in which he tells, that he doesn't expect the world to become as described in 1984, it is more like a warning. In my opinion he didn't get it wrong one bit!

@FA8T the only other person of that time to see the same pattern, i think, was Leon Trotsky....

well he got it wrong
1984 turned about to be nothing like what he said
instead we got 'relax' by frankie goes to hollywood

My previous comments about his way of valuing himself ,are born out here, in the car journey, factually based or?
I have read all the modern biography's , but there is only so much I can retain in one life sitting.

Why is the actor only using his index fingers to type? Surely George knew how to type correctly!

I hope it's an accurate portrayal. I never had him figured for a comedian.
Sorry I made a mistake, this is the definitive book against totalatarianism. He was I think the first person, even to this day the rarest person who took a total dislike to totalatarianism; fascism, communism, capitalism and any such kind that may arise now or in the future; It is the overriding of human liberty. Orwell was rare amongst the left for cherishing freedom.

I think the man who portrayed Orwell did a fantastic job. He is quite the eccentric!
