Tuesday: You saw a better film than me then! We watched 1984, its an old one but its the first time I've seen it. I was really looking forward to it because the book is excellent. My partner hadn't read the book, and I had to explain lots of things in the film that didn't make sense unless you had read it, and they downplayed lots of really important stuff, like the newspeak. It was there but not really of any importance. Same as the thought police. A huge part of the book but only a minor part in the film. Instead they concentrated more on their relationship, with lots of gratuitous nudity. I thought the film was awful, read the book instead, much better.
