Distopia - George Orwells 1984

George Orwells novel 1984 is a story about obscering the the truth. The novel tells the story of a kind of future where technology is used to dominate people. In a totalitarian society, people are controlled by Big Brother which censors everyone's behaviour. People are constantly watched by telescreens in their own homes, can have there thoughts read, and are constantly making sure they are not making thought crimes.

This movie is painful to watch because it shows just how easy people can be controlled and brainwashed by Technology. People are subjected to something called the "Two-Minute-Hate" where everyday for two minutes people are shown negative images and stories on giant telescreens and are brainwashed to scream and yell at the images they see. In Oceania individual expression was forbidden by the Party, having a diary was a crime, which could be punished with death

The story is set in Oceana and Winston is the main character. Winstons life is a sad one. His job is to rewrite documents and alter records and newspaper articles. Winston rewrites how his fellows die, he produces made up news and becomes so frustrating because everybody around him knows it is not real yet they are forced and more of less brainwashed to believe it. It is here at his job where Winston begins to become skeptical of the ruling dictatorship of the party of Big Brother. Winston is and always has been discusted with the oppression of the land, and chooses to go against big brother, and begin a diary filled with his own thoughts of the world. In his apartment, he finds an area where the telescreen cannon see him. There he sits are writes about the world.
