1984 (2/11) Movie CLIP - Corrupt to the Core (1984) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Winston (John Hurt) and Julia (Suzanna Hamilton) have an intimate meeting in the forest.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
1984 is the second film version of George Orwell's cautionary novel. Though the events described by Orwell did not come to pass in the real 1984, the film's producers maintained a level of verisimilitude by shooting the scenes on the exact dates described in the novel. Otherwise, it's the same basic story: Winston Smith (John Hurt), a bureaucratic flunky living in the totalitarian state of Oceania, breaks the law by daring to fall in love with Ministry of Truth worker Julia (Suzanna Hamilton). Attempting to escape, Winston and Julia are tracked down by the Thought Police. Both must be "re-educated" into loving the State -- and by extension, the shadowy dictator Big Brother.

1984 could only be released in 1984, its just too perfect.

[coralarch]

Both actors are just as I imagined them when I first read this shattering novel...

[leviporter]

I didn’t realize it was possible to make a movie which looked EXACTLY like how I envisioned the book.

[beebee]

Remember:

They are afraid of *love*
because *love* makes a world
they are unable to control

[SNSDatDPRK]

THIS COMMENT HAD BEEN CENSORED BY THE MINISTRY OF LOVE

[punkcalvin]

I like how the actors they chose were realistic to the book. If anyone tried to make this movie today it would just be pornstar types for sexless middle aged married couples.

[zdunas]

1984 is one of my favourite novels. Gotta watch the movie. I didn't even know such movie exists.

[thegaycatholic]

"With Inner Party members?"

"Not with those bastards!" Hahah

[xanderharris]

Her voice just melts me. It's so soothing.

[demogog]

this is one of the best book adaptations ever in my opinion.

[danindahouse]

Who's watching this during Covid-1984?

[agidee_]

I’m surprised that in the world of 1984 there are still forests left

[wiisalute]

I read this book for the first time 4 months ago and it just blew me away. I'm still baffled by the ending that it doesnt make sense to me. It was like a wrap-your-head around book, especially with how the political system works. So let me get this straight, O'Brien brainwashed Winston to succumb and love big brother and not Julia. So like Stockholm Syndrome or something?

[Books-and-coffee]

The girl who plays Julia is so damn beautiful

[OodlesanNoodles]

He didnt turn to look at her in the book. He stood still and she touched his shoulder. I know its a small detail but its one that I see as being so important to the worldbuilding.

[kamyakhurmi]

Understanding the novel as truly intended to be understood by sir George Orwell means to fully understand that the words, "I'm corrupt to the core" doesn't actually mean betraying the ruling party by the means of some sort of rebelliousness but corrupting oneself by the means of betrayal towards the one you promised to love. As intended by the antagonist, to truly betray oneself or your companion is to truly prove your sense of pride and loyalty to the party.

[milestone_achiever]

This in a way coincides with V for Vendetta. However in V, John Hurt is actually playing the psychotic leader of his nation. So this movie 1984 was a plattform for what what would come out 22 years later.

[farhanfakhriza]

I just finished reding the novel and this scene is exactly how i imagined

[markhodgson]

The perfect bait for Winston, and the trap was sprung

[MKSBEMA]

Having seen the uncensored version of this scene, I can certainly say this much : that this scene REALLY drives home the point that Oceania has a critical supply shortage of razors in this dystopian universe.
