This is a short film satiring the amazing novel 1984 and the idea of "Big Brother" that it created and popularized. It pokes fun at how Big Brother is watching everyone all the time, even those that he really doesn't want to. Even though it wouldn't fit entirely into the world 1984 produced (at least I don't think so), it's still rather funny. The movie is here, and it's only 9:40 long. For those of you that that read or have heard of Concerned (clicky), I'm sure you'll notice some similiarites between Gordon Frohman and Citizen 43275-B, right up until the end.

Also, if you have never read 1984, shame on you. Go out and read it now. It undoubtedly ranks as one of my favorite books of all time (if not my favorite), and is a good read. I plan on going back to it sometime soon, as soon as I get the book back from a friend.

P.S.: If you could tell me the CSS tags to change the link colors, that'd be great. =P

1984 sucked.

Edit as you see fit, it should work.

Thanks for pointing out both the movie and the comic -- I'd never seen either!

Alas, I probably won't read it in English this year or next (next year is my senior year, so yea. =/), but that won't stop be from loving it. :)
