WEEK 43: A FILM WITH A STRONG PHILOSOPHICAL OR EXISTENTIAL THEME
Description: In a
totalitarian future society, Winston Smith (William Hurt), whose work is
re-writing history, tries to rebel. He meets a kindred spirit named Julia and
they fall into a love affair.
Review: Based on
George Orwell’s classic novel “1984”, in which civil servant Winston Smith fall
in love with dissident Julia completely against the law of the totalitarian
state. Smith expresses his doubt to a member of the party, but a nightmare
awaits.
Willaim Hurt is strong in his role as Winston, and Richard
Burton is brilliant as the party man. The film pictures the vibe of the book
well, with its grim and dark décor. It’s a depressing dystopian story, much
better than the 1956 version.
Rating: 4/
