1984 (1/11) Movie CLIP - Two Minutes Hate (1984) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
During the morning's 'Two Minute Hate', Winston Smith (John Hurt) notices the especially emphatic Julia (Suzanna Hamilton).

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.

Some people just can't behave themselves in a movie theatre.

The irony in this scene is that if they weren't shouting they'd hear Goldstein actually speaking on the method of control currently being used on them. You can hear snippets of it, he's talking about hate being used to distract from key issues.

[flaviusaetius]

Not a phone insight. People just living the moment. Beautiful!

_"The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge-hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic."_

This is something that stuck with me after reading the book.

[jamesa.meadow]

1984 has always genuinely terrified me because of the 'no-escape' feel. You literally cannot escape or leave. There is nowhere else to go.

[johnwheatley]

When I was a kid I used to go Leeds United football matches with my dad. When we were playing Coventry City, a player called Dion Dublin came close to our seats and everyone started chanting “scum” at him. Without thinking, I did too and when the commotion died down, I asked my dad why. Turns out it was because he used to play for Manchester United, Leeds’ arch rivals. I felt ashamed for yelling abuse at someone for no reason and years later when I read 1984, this struck a chord with me about how easily we as people can be manipulated into such behaviour.

Redditors when a ten year old says they don’t think Keanu reeves is a legend

The man predicted social media comment sections.

[Jester]

So this is what Twitter looks like in real life.

[zanir]

We must always remember:
War is tragedy
Ignorance is weakness
Freedom is responsibility

[Deathawaitsnoone]

The Left: This is about the Right.
The Right: This is about the Left.
Orwell: This is about Totalitarianism.

1:46 The guy giving it all. Perfect scene. Captures the atmosphere. The anthem at the end is a relieve for me as a viewers too.

[allys]

It’s crazy how one second, a whole theater of people are screaming and cursing at the giant screen. Then, their anthem comes on and everyone stands and salutes. Orwell was a genius beyond belief.

[chadbh]

The only thing they got wrong is that it’s millions of tiny screens instead of one big one.

[charlesbritannia]

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

[cadian]

As a child: Horror is Stephen King novels and Friday 13th.

As an adult: Horror is the world of 1984.

'Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.'
George Carlin

[carlospepitos]

People in the comments saying this is conservatives, this is wokes, this is hamas, this is russia, this is israel, this is the west, etc.
This is the attitude that resembles the people in this clip
You are seething at everything you read and hear on the news and online and don't see others as humans

[swift]

I love how George Orwell targeted this at both sides of the political spectrum, but each side uses it as a representation of the other.

[sadzacsesh]

The people that say "This is about the right/left" are exactly the people being portrayed in this clip
