i LOVE that film! one of the very few book adaptations that really work. Hurt and Burton give some terrific performances. AND THAT SOUNDTRACK - and i'm not talking the Muldowney orchestral parts but the D&A snippets - pure techno...thanks for the puttin' up the trailer! it's not even on my dvd!....peace,..M.
 

This ish is worryin,....I've seen the film....& the amount of people that love big brother is worryin.....I hat this whole class system rubbish but middle england, middle america etc seem to adore it.....they haven't a clue about whats really happenin, they question nuthin & embrac everythin.......Democrats & republicans, Labor & Conservatives actually arguing....in suits about some SERIOUS, & I Mean SERIOUS Frickin issues we're facing....then they go to their lovely homes & settle down to a goumet meal & wine for the afternoon......Mental

SOLUTIONS to PROBLEMS Don't appear to exist within politics.....Just more restrictions & constraints.....

Theirs only on right you have on this planet & that s your Human Right to do whatever you please within reason.

One Human does Not have the right to tell another human what he / she can or CANNOT do....thas a dictatroship.......but unforteunately its reality...

George Carlin said..."Rights do not exist, instead we are given privilages, & hes got the nail on the head with that....THIS FILM, or techincally Carlins comments echo Georges 1948 Epic.

They say Brave New World is more likely to happen than a 1984 situation because it would be much easier to achieve. "Social critic Neil Postman contrasts the worlds of 1984 and Brave New World in the foreword of his 1985 book Amusing Ourselves to Death.
He writes:

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we desire will ruin us.
