Finally the latest version released in 1984 itself.Was that supposed to be relevant??
Anyway,while this version's +'s are that its in color and more violent and has SEX,its not really any better than the 1956 film.It does mostly stick to the same story except for 2 difference that cancels out the +'s to leave it still 2 stars short.Those differences are that the woman, Suzanna Hamilton as Julia, is more concerned about sex and doesn't even go to that important meeting between John Hurt as Winston Smith, and Richard Burton as O'Brien, and O'Brien is not really a part of the story TILL that meeting which then begs the question,why trust him??The acting is ok but if you thought the story might be updated,you'd be wrong,its still retro.So I would recommend the the 1956 version if you ask.Still this is OK and I believe was Mr.Burtons last film.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.
After The Atomic War the world is divided into three states. London is a city in Oceania, ruled by a party who has total control over all its citizens. Winston Smith is one of the bureaucrats, rewriting history in one of the departments. One day he commits the crime of falling in love with Julia. They try to escape Big Brother's listening and viewing devices, but, of course, nobody can really escape... Written by Mattias Thuresson
