1984

Book Review by: LisaCB    

Original Author: George Orwell
This abstract was translated from 1984
For who don't know where the history of Big Brother comes and have some curisity about it, must have to read this book! It
was with 1984 that George Orwell surprises everything and everybody, project a futurish sight, til that date (1948) inemaginable! What is the true, is that in this running days, the things that were just cientific fiction, today is something eminent very close to the reality, more than we ever think about it.
This book descrive a society that controles and manupilates all nivels, incluinding intelectual and emotional levels, talks about policy of mind, and leave all citizens limited and that may be a reason for a revolt...
The controle are made by cameras that come into to the houses, watching and superviser, giving orders, to everyone who live in that comunity (in real the one that exists). I don't want to go on with the descricion of the book, what I can say is that is a book that you can't lost... but in alternative, for who don't like to read books, you can see the film that is also excelent (I don't know the name of realizador...).
I saw the film after I readed a book, and usually in this cases, the film are a desillusion, but not in this case. Is allmost the same, is very easy to recognize the persons an all that happens after, but there is no beauty without a otherwise... in the film the end is leaving to the espectador criteria and in the book the end is very concrret. Read the book or at least see the film.
