The Book Or The Movie?

First and foremost, it is despicable for the greatest novel, a hallstone, and once-a-lifetime landmark of the English Literature not to be dealt with as much attention and admiration from the film industry.
I have read the book four times, and I am willing to read it another hundred times. It is the one and only book that doesn't seize to give for one who is willing to learn.
Perhaps enough said about the movie, but the movie has -regrettably- fallen short of the true depth of the novel. The movie budget seemed a little bit insufficient to capture the vast and complex aspects of Oceania. The sparse details of the book that vividly describe Oceania, the rundown cities, and the quite large community of the proles are not well presented.
Yes, the Tangible, visual "quality" of the movie is not all that glamerous, yet it captures the main aspects of the book.
Overall, it is insulting that the blood and gore, movies that amuse the hardly educated audience (eg. Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill) get huge sums of money, while the thoughtworthy masterpieces hardly get any attention at all.
The book is worth reading a million times, the movie maybe watched twice maximum, but for the ignorant, I say to you "Ignorance Is Strength!" |
