André Ferreira F @andre_f Dec 15 Nunca li o livro, por isso a minha opinião pode mudar no futuro. O filme cria muito bem o ambiente opressivo e autoritário que pretende transmitir, porém por vezes parece que se distancia demasiado do público. (avaliação: 6.5/10) See more Igor S Dec 8 Sadly, this movie is more relevant now than ever. It drills its story into your mind, the same way that the propaganda in the movie does to the characters. What's so frightening about it, is the harsh, cold truth it depicts: that not only so much of its content has always been true throughout history; but those who rule over us are happy to continue to treat us, the people, not just like sheep, but like grains of dust in their cleaning of what makes us human. Hopefully, in reality, the human spirit is not so easy tamable. Otherwise, we are lost... See more Chris H Sep 15 For me, this is the definitive film adaptation of Orwell's novel. Stunning performances by John Hurt and Richard Burton glue you to the screen. See more Caleb C May 14 The film nails the bleak, oppressive feel of Orwell’s world—cold, gray, and lifeless. Visually, it’s spot-on. But where the book pulls you deep into Winston’s thoughts, the movie keeps you at arm’s length. It’s slow, emotionally distant, and hard to connect with. A few moments land, but most of it feels like you’re just watching people go through the motions in a world designed to be empty. It’s not terrible, just underwhelming. The message is there—but the impact doesn’t hit like it does in the book.

I decided to check out one of the movie adaptations and felt the film version from 1984 felt fitting. This movie is really bleak, like the source material, and often mundane. However, I think the mundane feeling is by design and think the movie does the best job it could to portray this dystopian tale. I feel the story is best suited for the book medium, and can't imagine a movie or television series ever matching the quality of it. A lot of the themes are what make this a timeless story and a necessary cautionary tale. Overall, I don't think it is a movie anyone would seek out for entertainment value, but like the novel it is based on, it does leave a considerable impact and raises a lot of topics worth discussing.
