Similarities And Differences Between '1984': Comparing The Book And Movie

With any comparison between a play and its movie counterpart there are bound to be major differences and key similarities between

I also had compared Act Two, Scene 3, in the play and the film. The setting in the play is on a Saturday, moving day, one week later. In the film, the setting is the same as the play, with lighting and costumes. The plot in the play is Linder tries to buy back the house from the Younger family. In the film, the plot is the same as the play. The dialogue in the film has some deletions from play; new dialogue is added in replacement of the deleted dialogue. Some film techniques used in this scene are: the film cuts back and forth to different characters, and the room is well lit with the sunshine coming in through the window. Perhaps the biggest

The play does not go into as much detail as the movie. The play also does not bring as many characters into it. The Movie really allows you to get the full experience of the relationship between the priest and the boy. In the live version, you do not get to meet any of the other children in the school. The screenplay allows you to witness the other children that come into contact with the priest.

There was also more stage direction in the play, making it interesting. The man was up moving at some parts and even the woman started walking around at one point. However, in the film the actors were sitting at a table, with close ups on their faces. The film definitely did a better job at creating a setting, the actors were in a real restaurant whereas the actors in the play were sitting at a table with two chairs. Although the film version had a well put together set and lighting the key to the play is the dialogue. The play version focuses more on the conversation and less on the stage business. Performing on stage certainly effects the feedback loop, the audience is continuously laughing and engaged in the actors on stage. On the other hand, the filmed version cuts off any audience interaction. Even though the play is short and doesn’t have a large cast, the audience is still focused on the stage. This is because the actors on the stage embody a typical first date experience which the crowd relates to. With the on stage version the actors feed off the energy of the crowd. When they are having a good time the actors do too and vice

Since the onset of the United States, Americans have always viewed the future in two ways; one, as the perfect society with a perfect government, or two, as a communistic hell where free will no longer exists and no one is happy. The novel 1984 by George Orwell is a combination of both theories. On the "bad" side, a communist state exists which is enforced with surveillance technology and loyal patriots. On the "good" side, however, everyone in the society who was born after the hostile takeover, which converted the once democratic government into a communist government, isn't angry about their life, nor do they wish to change any aspect of their life. For the few infidels who

George Orwell's 1984 and the movie V for Vendetta both have similar views on how society is being run. Since The book 1984 was written before V for Vendetta, so perhaps V for Vendetta may have based some of its ideas on this book. Both 1984 and V for Vendetta have similarities like the way the themes and how the male protagonists are the one in charge of overturning the government.

Novels, Brave New World and 1984 were both written to show different types of dark utopian futures that could happen to our world if we are not careful. Brave New World focuses on a scientifically advanced future with many downsides, while 1984 shows a blander and unhappy future. In both books, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell both do a good job creating futures to warn us and show how bad they can be. I preferred 1984 because I found the story more interesting. It was hard to get into at first but once I made it past part one, it was a lot easier to understand and read.

Brave New World and 1984 creates different outlooks on society. These novels make readers think and compare society now to what it could be or could even become. A society is a group of people living together in an organized style. What people think is a good form of society can differ. These novels do a good job giving different perspective of what could be and how society as a whole all connects depending on control, freedom and media.

In the novel 1984 there is a character named Winston smith who is introduced in the part one in the book. He is most definitely the protagonist of the novel. Winston smith is an editor who in the ministry of truth which concerns itself with news, entertainment, education and fine arts and this party is one of the four branches of the government. The leader of the party is the face of big brother. The other three parties are the Ministry of Peace, which concerns itself with war ; the Ministry of Love, which controls and maintains law and order; and the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs. Winston starts a journal even though he knows it is illegal but he does it anyway because of his desires. I think Winston knows he is going to die but he writes it anyway. The words that stand out to me the most is War is peace, Freedom is slavery, and Ignorance is strength. These words have a strong meaning. It kind of shows a type of irony. These world make me really think what it means but I think it means peace is what the people have now but they can change easily and there might not be peace, freedom is slavery probably means that you should rethink about being free and ignorance is strength means listen to your party leader and just accept that you have no control over what happens. I wonder if these four parties will survive or will the people turn against them.

I have started on my second book called "1984" and around 90 pages deep. For this reflection I am doing a book comparison between my last book "How We Decide". Both books are totally different. "How we Decide" shows the aspect of how the human mind makes choices. The author explained how we decide from right to wrong and how this is triggered inside the mind. The book is classified as non-fiction Psychology. There is no characters in the book besides the people that the author uses in different studies. The author uses a group of people or he singles out a person to show an example of how the brain works. However 1984 is political fiction and dystopian novel. I have never read one before but watched the "Hunger Games" which is based off the

First of all, in the both versions, some of them don’t have the same exact characters like in the movie or the play. For the movie, you can’t see the movie being made, but in the play they have sets and other costumes and equipment to make the play more realistic.

Some changes may have been good others bad, but overall the play is better at setting mood and details when compared to the 1968 version of the movie. One major difference between the play and the movie occurs in mood. An example of this is the marriage scene.

In Summary, with these three examples it is shown that the play and the movie contrast quite a bit. Most of the story line and the dialogue were very similar to the original story in the movie but some things were changed, possibly to shorten the story to be able to make

I must say, I do enjoy reading Book One of 1984. I kind of wished I did not see the film a few years ago on Netflix, the books goes a lot better in detail. The film 1984, helped many movies based on this George Orwell’s ideas such as V for Vendetta Equilibrium and even They Live, which is also run by a Big Brother (Government not a person) monitoring us. People believe this cannot happen, but look at today. The party slogan is, “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past” (Book I, Chapter III). Honest in 2016, you guys do not think the government tries to change the past or erase records, and Big Bother does not watch us? Think about this, The Patriot Act, or NSA monitoring our texts, and even look

As much as the United States worries about outside terrorism, gangs are forming and creating terrorism all over the United States. A Utopia is an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. (“Utopia). A Dystopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. (“Dystopia”). The Hells Angels think that they are creating a Utopia but actually they are robbing and killing people, which is the total opposite of a utopia. They try and cover up the bad things by doing generous things. One of the things that they have done is they camped outside of Walmart on the night of Christmas so that when it opened they could go in and buy all of the bicycles and donate them to charity. The book 1984 by George Orwell is a dystopia because there is no individualism, you cannot think for yourself without being prosecuted. The people that run Oceania think that they are running a utopia but actually it’s more of a dystopia. They think this because they have rations of all of the chocolate and they have class division. But actually it’s very corrupt because the lowest class is pretty much able to do whatever they want and don’t get in trouble. In both the book 1984 and the hells angels they try and create a utopia but they both fail and actually create a dystopia. This book and the hells angels just prove that a utopia will not work for example in the book the government thinks that there class
