Will they ever try making this again or are there too many 1984 inspired/dystopian films out there?

Hollywood is running out of ideas so it wouldn't surprise me, but they'd probably do it with a SJW twist which will undermine the concept completely.

ingsoc will be the good guys

>with a SJW twist which will undermine the concept completely.
This.
I recently re-read it and it seems so relevant (as always) in regard to all the SJW doublethink.
If Hollywood was clever they might play into that and make a point.

the thing w/ these dystopian settings is:
at least society was white

k

>ingsoc will be the good guys
Some people will think you're joking.
Those people are idiots for not knowing how badly the world is going today.

This is exactly what would happen.

I could see Mew working as Julia, who would play Winston?

Some black guy

Black Mirror already did it

>1984 is anti-social movements
holy shit, Sup Forums really does fuck you up doesnt it

it doesn't need a remake the movies is fine and is close to the book

>when people use George Orwell to argue against socialism
Le irony face

know hes not british but i've always pictured Adrien Brody playing a good winston

Not him, but i think that is what he was saying. Oceana was a socialist nightmare dystopia and not a a right wing fascist one.

Personally i find brave new world to be the more prophetic of the two since it really nails down the whole theme of the road to hell being paved with good intentions.

>Oceana was a socialist nightmare dystopia and not a a right wing fascist one.

inb4 someone says that fascism is socialism

How is that wrong? they retard the language (political correctness) and censor free speech (hate speech laws)

>muh Sup Forums boogeyman
get triggered somewhere else

nazi: national socialism

"Political correctness" was not one of the reasons the language changed. There is an entire lengthy chapter describing the design and intent of the changes made.

I meant is an analogy

Political correctness does exist for the same reason as Newspeak, user. PC culture is pushed under the idea that if an idea cannot be expressed, then it's not really a problem.

yes and it mirrors what sjw are doing today with their pc speak for example racism/sexism = power + privilege, melissa jones harris' spaz out over the term 'hard work'

Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners. it is done to control people just like newspeak

The Peter Cushing versioncs my favourite so Bassfiender or Hiddletron spring to mind. That being said I think the Hurt version is plenty for anyone who wants a visual version of the story. Big budget modern effects etc. would be pointless.

>Big budget modern effects etc. would be pointless.
What would you even need them for? The only fantastic things i can think of from the book are the ministry buildings.

Unless there's a way to rewrite it with a young female protagonist, probably not.

It's a shame Philip Seymour Hoffman died since he would've been spectacular as O'Brien, hopefully they get Brian Blessed instead, it'd be like The Prisoner interrogation scene all over again.

too fat, we talking about a dystopian hell hole with massive amounts of rationing

>this product is called "premium" therefore it's the best.

It was an autocracy like a fascist society. It holds similar beliefs to a fascist society:Join us or die.

Diversity is strenght!

Only for outer party members. The proles had a grey/black market and the inner party got the good stuff.

...

Why make a film when it's going to be reality in a decade so?

If anything we're getting the World State

It's too relatable for our time, I think. You'd need a ballsy director and producer to even think about going at it.

So long as it didn't have the happy ending twist the other one had, I'd see it

>Hunger Games
>Divergent

I cant imagine how much this picture would trigger Sup Forums had it come out now

...

would you rather be a member of The Party in 1984 or any random civilian in Brave New World

Those three statements were ironically true even before Orwell wrote them down.

Too many 1984 inspired/dystopian countries, more like.

>SJWism has anything to do with socialism

Hello, idiot.

this
Do you think "political correctness" is about not being offensive? Are you this naive?

>So long as it didn't have the happy ending twist the other one had, I'd see it
you mean V for vendetta?

>implying Orwell didn't become absolutely cynical towards socialism
>implying 1984 wasn't a critique of the USSR
>what is animal farm

Keep fighting the good fight, Fred.

It needs some short of twist or something, because everyone knows this story back and forth.

The twist is that the Inner Party is all Jews.

Disagreeing with Stalinism and Soviet-style communism doesn't mean you are anti-socialist. Orwell was a democratic socialist. Animal Farm shows the hypocrisy of those at the top levels of government when they corrupt true socialism and turn it into a form of fascism

>implying SJWs aren't authoritarian as fuck

which will always happen

>Animal Farm shows the hypocrisy of those at the top levels of government when they corrupt true socialism and turn it into a form of fascism
that or socialism eventually turns into fascism. road to hell is paved with good intentions. french revolution, october revolution, arab spring which started when a fruit selling couldn't do business because of government red tape, Libya and the Egyptian revolution where at least Mubarak was secular to some extent and all have made isis possible

>Not shitposting on /feelies/
Brave new world all the way. Plus being a beta in BNW was, all things considered, pretty good. I have also always wanted to try soma.

In 1984 im stuck with shitty gin and bad cigarettes. No thanks.

Even while reading the book, I imagined Laurence Fishburne as O'Brien.
Am I a cuck?

Too much in that book is Winston's internal thought.
Would translate horribly to film

No, you're just a retard who uses buzzwords he has no idea of their meaning.

I'm surprised you're even in a thread like this.

Liking a black actor doesn't mean you're a cuck.
