  • 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!

  • 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!

  • more nice quotes in this 1

  • I hope it's an accurate portrayal. I never had him figured for a comedian.
