Orwell’s prophecy remains chillingly alive in director Michael Radford’s stark adaptation. In a gray, joyless world where every word is monitored and every thought policed, Winston Smith (John Hurt) dares to imagine freedom. The telescreens, the slogans, the constant rewriting of truth, it’s all too recognizable in an era of misinformation and surveillance capitalism. 1984 endures as both a warning and a mirror, daring us to notice the subtle compromises that lead to total control.
