      "it is quite scary when you see that a lot of modern governments are in the early stages of becoming the government in the book"
      and here you gave yourself the answer as to why it will NOT become a mandatory read for high-schoolers in any country.

    In the end, he loves his big brother, but he was shot in the head after rejoicing in Oceania's victory. The aim of the party is to transform the dissidents and then kill them, not to kill them directly so that people don't think of them as heroes/martyrs.

    I quit reading the book part way though so I got to make up my own ending where something good actually happened. Also, that level or torture is deeply ineffective for the stated goal, constant endless brutality leads to desensitization after a while they just shut down and mentally regress to nothing, not brainwashing at all really more like depersonalization.

    • @owenlewis4693

    • @willdrumsalot4595
      @willdrumsalot4595 2 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      Thats sort of the entire point of the book. There's a line "When finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us: so long as he resists us we never destroy him. We convert him, we capture his inner mind, we reshape him.".
      The entire point of Winstons torture is to state the point that the party quite literally controls everything - even the mind. Smith loses himself to double think and finally accepts big brother. This ending not only concludes the book in an absolutely unexpected yet genius way, but it also points towards the ideology that a dictaor run socialist government will go to great lengths to maintain the structure of society no matter what the cost.

    • @Laesis
      @Laesis 2 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      I don't think you got the book if you think it was ineffective. The idea is to break the mind. Break it so much that you no longer have a will to even truly use it any longer. Break it in a way that you simply accept any information given to you. If someone says something is good, you deem it so, you just follow along. Your mind is to broken to do otherwise.

      I noticed that this video says next to nothing about doublethink or Newspeak, not even a word about the ruling party's three main doublethink pronouncements: "War Is Peace; Freedom Is Slavery; Ignorance Is Strength."
      Also, the narrator gets the story wrong when he says that when Winston Smith (the main character) joins his fellow workers for the "Two Minute Hate" period, he and they all shout their hatred against Eurasia, the country that's the principle enemy of Oceania.
      I've read the book, so I know that what they're really yelling their hate about is not a country, but a person, namely Emanuel Goldstein, the main enemy of the state. He's referred to as a former participant in the "revolution" that brought about the rise of Oceania and of Big Brother, the all-knowing, all-hearing, and all-seeing dictator of Oceania. In the Two Minute Hate, a newsreel comes on showing Goldstein giving a speech about how the revolution had been betrayed, and how, instead of bringing peace and freedom to the people, it brought them constant wars and oppression. The loyal party members are encouraged to scream at Goldstein's film so loud, that no one can hear his voice or his words. (He's also suspected of being a part of the "Brotherhood," the alleged secret organization that plans to overthrow Big Brother, and which Winston Smith and his secret mistress, Julia, are urged to join by O'Brian of the Inner Party, unaware that he's actually working with the Thought Police to trap the two rebellious lovers and to turn them over to the Ministry Of Love, where they are tortured into "betraying" each other, that is, they're forced to stop loving each other, to accept the philosophy of the Party, and to "love Big Brother.")
      Incidentally, Emanuel Goldstein is believed to have been based on Leon Trotsky, a former supporter of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution and the Soviet Union, until the 1930s, when he left Russia and began making speeches against its Communist regime and against the rule of Josef Stalin. (who was supposedly the model for Big Brother, although others claim that the character was based on Adolf Hitler, or Benito Mussolini, or that B.B. is a composite character, that he was a combination of these and other notorious tyrants.)
      Eventually, after finding out that Trotsky was hiding in Mexico, Stalin sent an assassin to "eliminate" the man he considered a "traitor" to the Soviet state. The hired killer tracked down Trotsky and stabbed and beat him several times. Trotsky lingered in a hospital bed for many days, before finally dying from his wounds.

      It’s why they switch tactics. Only ever going about utilising beatdowns isn’t enough. We even see it since Winston doesn’t change. Then they soften him up a bit, then they use fear tactics. He doesn’t switch until he gives up Julia. That was the one thing he clung onto, and that’s how he became lost in the end. Not necessarily due to what they did, but due to what he did. When he lost her, he lost a core reason of what he was fighting for and gave up.
      That can absolutely happen.

It's positively faithful to the book, takes out the boring part where Winston Smith reads all about the government in power, and it scares the bejesus out of you in the end! It's perfect as a film because of its faithful treatment of the source material! Watch the movie, get the book afterwards and then read the boring details about the government and you'll be all caught up.

All Empire's do and will fall to dust so how long till Big-Brother, Oceania, Eurasia an that way of life on earth will collapse? It may take a hundred or two years it may even take fifty or less? And another thing What were Big-Brother, Oceania and Eurasia's plans for the future? Were they making any new scientific development into anything like going into space or were the only new things we're ever more horrible ways to torturing humanity? Cause if there were no new inventions to aid humanity especially in medicine a posable disease could have easily collapse this society as easy as a twig but what then? How would people rebuild society, could they even rebuild society? Part of me thinks after what that world has done to humanity I find it hard to believes they can but some of me thinks that they could, some part how against all odds by God there's a chance, life always finds away.
