this should be a mandatory read for high-schoolers. 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.
"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.
@@dragonempress8367 There was a live-action miniseries version of "Animal Farm" on TV a couple of decades ago. I think it was on one of Ted Turner's channels.
I read this book a long time ago in 9th grade and it genuinely shocked and disturbed me but I understand how he couldn't fight the brain washing the ending for him just felt so painfully realistic
I was one of the dumbasses who thought it was fiction, went to 101 and everything... Now they just kill us with the environment overtime, makes them feel like Mrs. Bigger, guilt free death is like sugar free candy, mostly sucks 🧬
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.
Orwell got it wrong: the telescreens in our homes won't be imposed on us by an oppressive Big Brother. The people will fight one another for the privilege of having the most luxurious telescreen on their bodies.
or neither may have existed at all. the year 1984 may not actually be 1984. the party says that the year is 1984 therefore it is so. the party says goldstien exists therefore he does.
Big Brother is God and Goldstein is Satan. Religion is a tool to control the public. Other cultures have different religions. Western civilization is Oceania.
I doubt it considering they dont even pay attention to people who google telegraphing their crimes days before. School shooters will videotape themselves loading up before and post it before the crime and no one cares.
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.
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.
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.
@@willdrumsalot4595 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.
a great summary as always. I love 1984, I think its a story everyone should read and think about. but is probably the most disturbing thing I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing in a book.
Actually, there was a 1984 movie (how cool is this?) Made in 1984! 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.
Took mushrooms a bout a few years again and decided to take the train into nyc, a man sat next to me on th amtrak, didn’t feel like talking but we got to it, the man told me to read every banned book on the list and to start with 1984, I’m about 8 in and just finished this. By far the best thing I’ve read, really opens your eyes to how scary your government can be
It's even more painful to read in all its detail. It's one of the few books to bring out genuine emotion and the only one I've ever read that has made me cry. It's a fantastic book though you absolutely need to read it for your self.
yeah, i read it and it was definitely a heavy book. but im super glad i read it bc it's very important, and perhaps one day, the opportunity to read it will be gone :/
so the moral is that we are helpless against a potential tyrannical society that surrounds us, and we will subdue in order to survive? doesn't really tell us how too deal with such a society, any thoughts?
No. I see the moral as governments needing an INSANE amount of effort to brainwash people. But the difference is, many brainwashings can be done by having populations willing give up their freedoms over small bits at a time, and dumb themselves while remaining oblivious.
it totally tells you how to deal with tyranical facist government. it tells us, single party tyranny is most dengerous type of tyranny. A dictator can be stopped in long run, but something maintained by as organisation as an organ of country can never be stopped. if one went down new fifty will emerge with oppresion in thier justifiable way.

If we did, and could affect other people’s way of thinking and living on a massive scale, and brought attention to this, we’d be labeled far right extremists, and attacked endlessly until we gave up. It’s not like we don’t see this. I’m not making it up either. This very book has been banned from many institutions and those who read it are called “far right extremists”.
The thing I never hear people talk about 1984 is how will that society will fall? 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.
I think in the end, big brother lost because the book is written from a historical perspective with no newspeak. It hints that the totalitarian state was overturned.
it is implied that the party has achieved a sort of stability and won't fall. Even the wars they wage are pointless and endless. All technology is subservient to the goal of control. Older regimes fell because they could not control people as completely as the Party does.
I never read this in high school. But as an adult in my thirties, I finally got a copy at a yard sale, read it, and... man, it did stuff to me. I felt like I woke up to do many things while reading this. Not sure I'll ever be the same again.
George Orwell predicted the future with 1984. Only, we willing submitted to a modern 1984 rather than having it forced upon us. Orwell said in his last interview “don’t let it happen” and yet we failed him miserably.
Those who know history can predict the future. It’s why they try their best to change it (much like what Winston’s job is), and why they’re so committed in making it tedious at schools, so that kids are too bored to ever look into it.
Im seeing Roblox slowly in the early stages of turning into 1984 in the context of corruption, greediness, and silencing those who expose Roblox's flaws in any legal way even forging documents
00:03 1984 presents a dystopian world of surveillance and control by the ruling elite. 01:24 The ministries and state-endorsed products control the lives of the party members. 02:41 Winston is increasingly curious about the past 03:51 Julia and Winston meet secretly and develop a mutual hatred of the Party. 05:05 Winston and Julia join the Brotherhood 06:17 Winston is arrested and tortured by the thought police. 07:33 Winston submits to party's reality under torture 08:46 Winston's transformation and hopeless relationship with Julia
“LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE HAD TOO MUCH TO THINK - Support your local friendly thought police officer. Don’t question anything, and definitely don’t speak out. Thank you for not thinking”
if not captured they remain invisible, if captured, tortured to death. 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.
The fact that people make modern comparisons to the thought police in the book because they got banned from Twitter is always amazing to me. The book is so impactful. Worth a read!
It’s been happening probably since the day the government/people in power came into the office, this has been happening for centuries “they” are just very good at hiding it which is why you probably think it just started
Its funny seeing how many people dont realize this is happening and not only has been happening but is based off of real life to begin with and not fully fictional.

Im seeing Roblox slowly in the early stages of turning into 1984 in the context of corruption, greediness, and silencing those who expose Roblox's flaws in any legal way even forging documents
Just saved me 11 hours lol. Thanks bruh

Orwell describing todays world.and what is to come.

This is a brillant novel

“LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE HAD TOO MUCH TO THINK - Support your local friendly thought police officer. Don’t question anything, and definitely don’t speak out. Thank you for not thinking”
That rate cage scene is just so awful and scary and sad
Very similar storyline to the political situation in Victoria, Australia for the past few years... :O
When he finnaly surrenders, i felt really bad .like how can you give up ,your the protagonist of this book. Wasn't expecting that ending tho .
I hate to be this guy but that position on the chess board isn't possible.
The board is backwards
my studying for my final essay
Muito massa 👏👏👏👏👏
What happened to the people who weren't able to be brain washed ?
if not captured they remain invisible, if captured, tortured to death. 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.
Was the book banned in some regions of the world for some time?
The fact that people make modern comparisons to the thought police in the book because they got banned from Twitter is always amazing to me.
The book is so impactful. Worth a read!
And you don’t? We see the thought police and newspeak concepts daily. Not to mention the altering of history and historical records.

*Is it just me or does this sound like something that is happening right now in 2021?Scary*
It’s been happening probably since the day the government/people in power came into the office, this has been happening for centuries “they” are just very good at hiding it which is why you probably think it just started
It is. And considering I saw there was a comment here which I can’t see, they wanted to prove the point further.
I wish Winston and Julia escaped from that place and could be a proper couple
We live in 1984 already
If only he named it 2024 he would literally have been a prophet
I’m definitely not here bc I don’t want to read the 300 paged book
Ingsocial Justice
Winston reminds me of Uyghurs in China
Its funny seeing how many people dont realize this is happening and not only has been happening but is based off of real life to begin with and not fully fictional.
No, it's not happening and it never will.
Read this book without knowing what it was about, finished it realizing it was a non-fiction book about the DNC.
Thank you, now I don't have to read the book!
Cant imagine what the political prisoners are going through in DC.
you mean the morons who stormed a government building filled with MP’s chanting for their heads? Yeah totally unjust punishment!
@@several. It was set up. The real footage is literally everywhere. 🙄
In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion; the more intelligent, the less sane. Quote ; by George Orwell the great Socialist and Writer, Author.
thanks!
to people who say it looks like north korea when it actually looks like their country of origin: all I have to do is raise the subject of covid with you and you'll try to cancel me out!
low volume, otherwise good
