Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Are you showing the 1984 "1984" with John Hurt or the 1950s BBC "1984" with Peter Cushing?
Are Aged Anarchists allowed in after the meeting to watch the film?

Think it is better to read the book!

Its the John Hurt movie, made in 1984.

Of course, all are welcome afterwards.
wasn't this Richard Burton's last film????
haven't seen it in 20 years...i remembering thinking I noticed that the teeth extracted in a torture scene mystically reappeared later...but maybe they were just transcending the traditional narative??!!??
See you at the Lemon Tree Cafe
(hope I got that literally reference right...it's been a while since I read the book)
i remember a slogan that "1977 made 1968 look like 1984!"..never understood wat it meant but always liked it
Good Going AY...Vonnegut's "Player Piano" and huxley's "Brave New World" and the anarcho classic Le guinn's "The Dispossesd" (anarchist planet that turns out to be a maoist nightmare) are all good dystopian reads
""The Dispossesd" (anarchist planet that turns out to be a maoist nightmare)"
I wouldn't be quite that negative about the society that the Anarchists built on that planet. Remember they had to leave their home world and didnt have the existing infrastructure to build on. The message I got is that people are people and it will take more than a few generations for new thinking to fully take hold.
Great book though. Not sure if it could be made into a film.
