My favourite book and film

Books and films... I can't decide what I enjoy more, cause both take me to a new world out of the reality, or causes that I get a new thinking about things that I wasn't so informed.
Books and films are principal pillars of culture.

I will start with the book, my favourite book is 1984 by far. I remember that I have to read it for school (I hated the books that school gave me) but I fell in love with this, because it opened my eyes about reality, and learn more about totalitarianism. The story of love between Winston and Julia is beautiful and sad at the same time, and the end... It's a complete plot-twist. I don't recommend the movie, doesn't make justice.
I will make a short summary, 1984 is about a distopic world, which is handled by a omnipotent figure: "the big brother". Winston, the principal character, starts to question about this figure, and he finds with another person who thinks the same, Julia. They start, also, a relationship, and both research the truth. The final... is so sad and realistic. I recommend so much this books, I think everybody should read it.
Orwell tried to represent the URSS, when Stalin was in the power.
"War is peace"
"Ignorance is strength"
"Freedom is slavery"







Now with the movie, my favourite movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but the favouritism goes for a emotional way, I was living a hard moment and it helped me to open my eyes about relationships and love. The story of love, the soundtrack, the performances (Jim Carrey in a dramatic role is so good, and I've always loved Kate Winslet) and the chronology of the history, all that things make the film so good and deep. 

I can't tell much more because I would making a lot of spoilers, but the story spins around Joe and Clementine, their relationship and how it ended. Everybody's gotta learn sometime.

  5. I also had to read this book at school. I loved. I felt that we are beginning to live the society that is represented in the book.

  6. I loved 1984, and it's representation of a dystopia, every theme that Orwell talked about in his works are well treated, but ''Brave New World'' has the type of representation that I believe in the most.
