i saw this movie literally directly after finish the book and and maybe that be a neutral idea or a very stupid one . i think it be the latter . first of all and it be inaccurate in many small and yet important detail . one of the first thing i notice be and during winston day to day life in his work and his conversation and eat in the cafeteria and etc . he feel free to look unhappy and make suggestive glance at people without immense fear . one of the most important part of the book and be that even in small activity it be virtually impossible to safely show even a hint of his true emotion on his face at any moment . this be also show in the scene on the street of the proletarions . in the book winston know that this be a huge risk to wander around there and be skeptical and frighten at every trip . while in the movie and he do it so often and without fear and that you lose the important feeling of heavy surveillance and risk right off the bat . other minor inaccuracy include winston hide his diary in the wall and yes a very small change and but it beg the question and what the point . there be also the most annoying thing a director can do with a book and and that be morph character . the large inaccuracy be far more disturbing and however . first of all and one of the important piece of the book be that big brother be a government base on an intelligent and yet crude philosophy . in the movie and they skip that and go straight to make you think that the government be run by hitler with technology . which be true and in a sense and when direct with it facism and but if that all you get out of big brother and you really miss the point of the book . the terrifying thing about big brother be that and in a way and it have some point behind it philosophy . when obrien be pick at winstons mind in the ministry of love and he be listen to everything winston say against big brother . the fact that he listen and and advance forward in his philosophy and be in effect what be most creepy and intriguing . in the end and ( careful spoiler ahead ) when winston say he love big brother and the terrifying thing be that you be not sure whether it be souly the beating and torture that cause this and or the actual power behind the philosophy . i be in no way say that the big brother philosophy have point that appeal to me and but it intelligence and depth be what make this book incredibly disturb . also and how could anyone feel any connection between julia and winston in the film . it be awful and no connection whatsoever . and where be obrien before he give winston his address . one of the thing that carry the book be winstons thought about obrien before he make contact with him . in the movie and they just jump the gun . but that about sum up why this movie be a terrible adaption represent because it impossible not to jump the gun and morph character in less than two hour . how could anyone think this movie be watchable if it be under two hour . at the very least and the movie demand 3 hour to be able to capture some of the important mood and connection . anything less be just pointless . if you love the book and and i mean truly adore it and you will not approve of this movie and and chance be and you already know you wouldn not . because the book be unfilmable and and this movie just prove how impossible it be cram something decent into a small reel of film . two star out of ten .
