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.”

I know eh. The gov’t watches at walmart, at any store (for that matter), in the buses/the trains, at the gym, at school (especially univesities), at work (so-called “security”) even ONLINE. We have no privacy and “they” call it a “deterent” right as if cameras made people who want to kill “logically” reason not to.

I read this 1984 in high school…grade 7 or 8. I can’t believe they expected us to full able to understand the magnitude of what he was describing at age 14/15. He was speaking of exactly how the world is today: a disaster. Orwell was so smart, so on point…that the meanings of his writings go over the head of the most “sheeple” (including our intellectual elites—aka teachers/professors). As a young woman, I reread the book and was amazed that I did not “get it” as much as I did now.

A brilliant documentary it captures the essence of Orwell. Shame the actor who played him Chris Lang-ham, is now convicted paedophile

Glad I’m not the only one that thinks that 1984 has lost its meaning in the modern world. When I brought it up somewhere else I was considered a conspiracy nut.

Stephanie Meyer just spreads newspeak. That’s why Stephanie Meyer fans will never understand the work of Orwell.

Stephanie Meyer is famous. Definitely not a genius. Just because you’re too stupid to understand Orwell’s work does not make him dumb. He’s famous because he was a genius. It’s just a shame tards like you can’t understand.
