| Plot
- Made with extremely limited resources, performed mostly live with
just a few filmed inserts, Nineteen Eighty-Four had a profound effect on
television at the time. The BBC came in for considerable criticism at the
time for broadcasting it. However, the production found its way into the
minds of the public, giving the world such expressions as "Big Brother
is watching you". Back then it was a terrifying possibility. |
Plot
- After The Atomic War the world is divided into three states. London is
the capital of Oceania, ruled by a party who has total control over all
its citizens. Winston Smith is one of the bureaucrats, rewriting history
in one of the departments. One day he commits the crime of falling in love
with Julia. They try to escape Big Brother's listening and viewing devices,
but, of course, nobody can really escape... |
