i have high hope for this movie and because i enjoy the book so much . however and i do not think i would have understand the premise of the movie if i hadn not already read the book . the movie be a noble attempt to show the despair of people try to break the bond of overpower government rule and but the book portray the suffering much more thoroughly . the corrupt government official have comfortable and almost luxurious life and while the common people struggle to obtain the bare necessity for survival . perhaps most people feel this way toward their leader and ruler regardless of whether or not they be actually oppress or repress . orwell dystopia seem a if it could exist in many place in our modern world . it have be several year since i have read the book and but one hear reference to big brother and the thought police and and newspeak frequently in the medium and casual conversation . probably many people use these term do not realize where the term come from . i strongly recommend that you read the book .
