- 'Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.' Edited extracts from Michael Radford's version of Orwell's 1984 to show Winston's editing of the historical record to meet the political requirements of the present.

Winston using a rotary phone style keyboard to type in numbers is actually really creative and sort of feels dystopian.
You seem very young.
Being "Outer Party" is the worst.
Either be "Inner Party" or a Prole is better.
@@antonboludo8886 Looks like you've had too much to think!!!
Don't speak out or question. Closed minds Stop thought crimes!
@@antonboludo8886 prole is better. Inner party members have privileges, but those privileges might be tests itself. you have the permission, but it doesnt mean you should do it. For example turning off your telescreens. Inner party members have their own ways of walking, their own way of speaking and accents. Everything is controlled. Inner party members is the most tortured and intelligent of them all, because the party knows they are dangerous and have the ability to double think. While the outer party have some form of freedom, but is technically the citizens of oceania since they are somewhat controlled unlike the proles who have more freedom.
Even in a totalitarian society Winston has a little bit of power. He decided, not O’Brien or another Inner Party member, on the ‘increase’ magnitude in the “choco” ration. Small power but at least he has some.
"Yeah, good, they believed in it, Parsons swallowed it easily like an animal, the girl with dark hair has some suspicions but she swallowed it as well, Syme is the smart one but he also believed in it, as long as people believed in it, what is a lie becomes truth"
That was the whole point. Each member of the Party is only allowed the individual power to increase the collective power of the Party.
What’s your point?
The more I watch this clip the more I wonder if O’Brien promoted Winston to the Inner Party after the book ends? I know it seems unlikely given his Thought crimes and sex crimes. However, O’Brien was at pains to explain that he was trying to ‘cure’ Winston not punish him. Winston was rather good at all this stuff wasn’t he?
@@highvoltageswitcher6256 I doubt it. It seemed like Winston was simply given a sinecure to spend his remaining days until the Party vaporises him.
And he who controls the spice controls the universe.
Eh, those two IPs are too different to really be comparable. 1984 is about nationalism, class struggle and information control. Dune is about wars for resources, leadership and God warship.
WH40K complains a lot of dystopian IPs into one universe, including 1984 and Dune.
Wasn't Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, known as a "humble importer of spices"?
Gin, cigs, w.e....
And who controls the universe, controls Grayskull.
@@centurionzen1005 Dude, it's just a joke.
"One of these days, thought Winston with sudden deep conviction, Syme will be vaporized. He is too intelligent. He sees too clearly and speaks too plainly. The Party does not like such people. One day he will disappear. It is written in his face. "
I liked what they did in the movie even though it wasn't in the book- when Winston is working and realizes that Syme will be vaporized. It was a really haunting moment, but I don't think it could work that well when read- it needs to be watched. In the book, Orwell's way to tell us what happened to Syme was good too because it came out of the blue after an unrelated chapter. The first sentence of the new one is just like hey, he's gone.
kev3d The fact that Winston knows what will happen to Syme is just as horrifying. Thoughtcrime does not entail death. Thoughtcrime is death.
It was really nicely done how they portrayed that in the film.
Love the Wallpaper on those PCs
LOL
It’s kind of cool how the movie held true to the technology in the book.
Looks like you've had too much to think!!!
Don't speak out or question. Closed minds Stop thought crimes!
Of course brother that Scatman wallpaper is dope 🔥🥵
First time I realized even the newspaper is written in Newspeak.

People talk about horror films.
This.
No gore, no jump scares. No beasts/monsters.
The most absolutely terrifying film I have ever or will see.
This is coming, we made/invited this.
I’ll be gone, but our descendants will live this.

What is even more scary is we are sinking into this unperson reality daily.
When your only stand is to kill yourself before they execute you.
I feel the same way. Not everyone is aware, but it has already got its roots established here in the states. Terrifying and depressingly sad.
We will own nothing and we will be happy. The term, "happy", however will be redefined to mean and emote something completely different than what we might otherwise think of today.
Yeah guys this is super deep like our society is just falling apart oh man what do we do
@@Chreeeis We should be more aware about this and not complying everything, that our world leaders tells us. Covid-19 is a really good example.
I wish someone on youtube made a video explaining this movie frame by frame due to how foreign yet interesting these scene looks
That's why I don't think it's a very good movie. you have to have first-hand knowledge of the book itself. It just feels like the whole point of the film was to give stock footage for the book.
I read the book as a child. I don't think you need to read the book to understand the film.
@PatrickHutton "What can you do, thought Winston, against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?"
This is the line that I think really matters the most. It sums up Oceania. It's a state run by Insane troll logic - just an example; the police patrol the streets even though there are no laws "because Oceania is the freest in the world! We can't have authoritarian policing!" Even though being caught with a diary could get you killed.
There's a lot of details that add up to a nightmare picture that I don't think you could ever put into a film. What this film did (quite well mind you) was create the images we now think of when we read the book, especially the party logo.
What movie?
Do your own homework. Film appreciation is an elective course.
Probably the closest real world country to the fictional Oceania in 1984 was Ceacescu's Romania. In the late 80s three persons together in a public space were considered dangerous of starting a revolt. Such was the hysteria of the regime nearing its demise.
Actually I think modern day North Korea would be closer, especially considering all the nonsense and false history they are constantly fed, and they're actually a communist nation.
Khmer rouge?
Khmer rouge was not a country, it was madness.
OTAN
Hoxha's Albania and North Korea also came pretty close
These MiniTrue scenes really make me appreciate how conveniant our tech is. Glad to know the Department of Media Production in America has an easier time controlling the past, present and future.
Literally 1984
This clip is not taken from a movie but from the security footage of the offices of X formerly twitter.
Won't be long before calling it twitter would be considered an act of rebellion. "The party says it had always been called x, and they invented it."
Ever since we first heard that Awkward Answer From the Past. "Well, it depends on what the definition of IS, IS".
No one can truthfully answer a question
One of the things I often wonder about is if the choco rations are going down because the incsoc is failling and cannot maintain production or if its about power. O brien implies the later but I suspect the former and o brien is just as part of the delusion as anything else.
I think the party has already failed and is clinging to life
@@ScottieDont456 yeah the inner party have been fed a seperate line of lies by deluding themselves that their failure is success. The proles and outer party is fed lies about reality and the inner party lies to itself by mistaking brutality for power as the system rots.
With that in mind it's probably worth noting the appendix implied oceana failled as it's written in past tense
I mean you could argue that it's simply a method of maintaining power - maintaining or bringing down ration levels in order to exert further control over the populace, making it so that they believe they are receiving the same amount or greater when in reality it's been steadily decreasing. At the same time, however, it does seem like a lot of work for just an illusion of luxury and comfort when providing the real deal would go much further in keeping population loyalty.
Personally I think the whole murkiness itself is control - in the environment of Oceania and the Inner Party you can't be sure about if the amount of available chocolate rations is actually decreasing due to logistical or production inadequacy, or if it's a deliberate exercise of power. If the former, the sheer amount of paranoia in society ensures that people either never fully believe that there is an actual shortage or are too scared to commit to a food riot, and if the latter then the lower Party members can't even afford to act disgruntled.
Yeah its one of the interesting aspect of the story. The objective reality of the situation is hard to pin down, it's hard to know if the inner party are even aware of the truth.
I tend to lean towards the system is failling from visual ques in the movie . Everything is run down and dilapidated including inner party and thought police stuff or things which absolutely need to function well.O brien looks rather tired and sick and the internal pogrom is now harming people it's a bad idea to harm like Tom and smye

No, because Oceania doesn't care about truth.
In real news, the truth is recorded and then the headlines made the reflect such. In Oceania, the headlines and recorded and then the "truth" is made to reflect such.
@@trianglemoebiusOceania is a real country, kinda sucks that it's also a name for whatever this hellscape is.
@@danser_theplayer01 there is no country named "Oceania" in real life
@@drmaulana2600 You're right, it's not a country I forgot, it's actually a bunch of islands in Pacific ocean like New Guinea and Easter Island. So it's more than one country.
TBH this reminds me of how a lot of mainstream news outlets from all over the political spectrum will tweak and edit digital articles after they come out, often without disclosing they have done so.
Not that it's strictly a bad thing, but this is revising news reports at its worst. It's just something that if you do too much of without any ethics, you'll just be replacing one piece of nonsense with another.
When I first read 1984 I thought it was the future. Later I thought Brave New World was the future. Even later I thought neither. And now in my late middle age I thinking again that 1984 is the future.
We're already pretty close. In any strictly organized society like ours we are atleast 50 percent like 1984, as it's 50 percent human nature.
Those aren't mutually exclusive.
1984 is now
I think it will be a combination of 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451.

Maybe bother to read tge book or watch tge movie.
Here, there is no luxury, not even for Inner Party members. It's all about power and control. To have luxuries would be a step in unjustifying tge war.
@@re1010 Read it (long time ago), watched the movie (starring John Hurt) and listened to the audio book (couple years ago)... Orwell largely focused on Winston and did not explore the living conditions of the Big Brother leadership.
Winston is a civil servant in service to the Ministry of Truth and Big Brother, he would enjoy more privilege than any lower-class non-apparatchik. I expect that inner party members, such as O'Brien, might enjoy graduated levels of comparative luxury.
Huxley, on the other hand, did explore class hierarchy in his contemporaneous dystopian novel.
Brazil was released the same year. And it shows
Why?
@@detectordegados5292 because someone once described Brazil as like 1984 meets Monty python.
@@misterprecocious2491 LOL. That's precisely it. I imagined it was something like this but thought it could have a deeper reference. But I would change that quote, "Brazil is like 1985 meets Brazil", the flick is a precise mock, as our 1964-1985 dictatorship was just as a joke in being a totalitarian dictatorship as Brazil's (movie) one was
@@misterprecocious2491 id have to put it at, "Monty Python on the bench in front of 101." I enjoy Brazil a lot but there are a lot of dead parrots.
Actually Brazil was released one year later in 1985.

Could anyone explain me why Syme was vaporised? He was faithful to the Party and great supporter of Ignsoc ideology!!!
As it says in the book, he's simply too intelligent- the party believes that his intelligence means he has the capacity to think for himself, and because of that possibly question the party, and so must go. 'one of these days, thought Winston with sudden deep conviction, Syme will be vaporized. He is too intelligent. He sees too clearly and speaks too plainly. The Party does not like such people. One day he will disappear. It is written in his face.' as it says when Winston talks to him. Also maybe because Syme was one of the people working on newspeak, and so had to have some kind of understanding of the words that they were making 'unthinkable' by removing them from the language- liberty, self expression, free will, and so on- which the party sees as a threat as in their eyes merely understanding them is as dangerous as actually carrying them out (thoughtcrime). He didn't get vaporised because of anything he did, rather because of what the party believed he could due to his intelligence.
There's actually genuine doubt that he was disloyal in the first place. He was reported by his daughter, who may have misheard his whisper & she could have just made it up to begin with.
@@centurionzen1005 that’s parsons not syme i think
@@fruroo9723It was Parsons. Parsons said he talked in his sleep, and that his daughter overheard him accidentally talking bad about Big Brother while doing so.
Syme knows how the system works, and he MIGHT use that against the party IF he ever changes his mind.
The party saw him as a potential threat.
So he was vaporised.

@@muffinman6048 true, but it's not centrally censored! So it's not like 1984, it has different kind of problems :-D
@@DanieliusGoriunovas Certain topics are dictated by the moderators wishes. For instance, the page on crossdressing serial killers (and any record of it) was deleted a few years back, because it was decided to be "inconvenient" information.
@@muffinman6048 But that category was deleted not for that reason.
You can check the disccusion logs (2019 July 7), where it was democratically concluded that the category simply:
1) Doesn't have enough content (2 articles was not enough for a category);
2) Sexuallity wasn't a worthy categorization at that time per the "Overcategorization" rule of Wikipedia.
Of course, maybe due to recent event the category could be bringed back (if it has more content) - and anyone who wishes to do that can do it.
I am just arguing, that democratic additions or removals aren't like in 1984 :D

What is to "cancel" someone but to make them an "unperson".
Cancelling someone means that are not allowed to participate in mainstream society, especially in elite circles. An “Unperson” is a person who is not only cancelled, they no longer exist. Even more perniciously, they have never officially existed!
Yeah, except cancelled people are never obliterated, and they're rarely even worse off in any material sense. 'Cancel' is almost always a code word for 'criticised in a way that offends the Right'.
@@Summersong2262sounds like party propaganda lol
@@AlexThyGreek Only because you're not bothering to actually consider and analyse the situation or text. Less slogans, more English skills, please.
Getting "cancelled" just means that many people are publicly expressing their distaste for you because of something you said or did. Being made an "unperson" in 1984, meanwhile, means being dragged away, killed, and subsequently scrubbed from history. _Slight_ difference there.
Idk what this guys job is but it seems like just a few of them can ruin a lot for the dictator.

Don’t mind all the doomers in this comment section. 1984 has not ‘come true’, at least not in the West, but these people think it has, on account of how companies and the government can get tiny bits of personal information off of us thanks to modern technology and because we happen to be living in a time of financial hardship and inflation.
I know being depressingly cynical is practically cool these days, but me personally, I’m not having it.
Humanity has only ever progressed forward across it’s entire history - technologically, socially, and politically. The Victorian anthropologists who thought the world would have ended by now have been proven wrong. World War-era authors such as J. R. Tolkien who believed humanity is destined for nothing but war and destruction were proven wrong when the 21st Century, bad as it may appear at first glance, has been the most peaceful period in human history. 1984 was set in 1984, and outside of the Soviet Bloc, very few parts of the world resembled its exaggeratedly dystopian society when that year rolled around.
Contrary to the book and this movie, you’re completely free to think what you want. But I’m optimistic about the future.
"Humanity has only ever progressed forward across it's entire history - technologically, socially, and politically."
I don't know how you were able to type that with a straight face. I also think doomer-ism is useless and should be avoided in favor of more proactive thought and action, but you're either sorely ignorant of history or you are joking. First thing to read up on would be the Dark Ages, if the former is true.

@@OneofInfinity. Hey, I’m not saying the world is perfect. It’s far from it.

Who controls the past controls the future: Who controls the present, controls the past… The mutability of the past is the central tenet of democrats.
It is argued that past events have no objective existence, but survive only in written records and human memories. The past is whatever the records
and the memories agree upon. And since the Party is in full control of all records, and equally full control of the minds of its members, along
With big tech/media complicity, it follows that the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it.

Hey, this has the scene I was hoping to find in a video, the one when Winston found out Syme was going to be vaporized. It's such a powerful scene, imagine being in Winston's place. And I appreciate it the director had this idea, since it's different in the book, and that way (simply saying "Syme is gone" after an unrelated narrative) could never work in a movie, but it's brilliant in a book. Just like this scene couldn't work when read, but it's so haunting when seen, without any words.
