What is all the litterally 1984 referance. I don’t wanna look it up because it may be bad.
Edit : I say that because every time i looked up a number from internet i wanted to bleach my eyes for reference 34 and 69
1984 is a book written by George Orwell in 1949. It involved life under a dysfunctional, authoritarian government.
Generally required reading in American high schools, it’s had an outside influence on everything from the first Apple Macintosh ad:
To the film version of V For Vendetta:
V for vendetta is the movie adaptation of 1984 ?
No, just heavily influenced by it.
It’s the movie adaptation of the comic book V For Vendetta.
It’s also based off of a real event that (didn’t) happen.
You mean the gunpowder treason, which did happen or the Larkhill concentration camp (which was made up for the book.)
There is a movie adaptation of the book though.
Which is ?
1984 - Funnily enough starring the same actor who played the dictator in V For Vendetta.
1984 is a dystopian novel by George Orwell that depicts a totalitarian society ruled by the Party and its leader, Big Brother. The novel follows Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of the Party who works in the Ministry of Truth, where he alters historical records to suit the Party’s propaganda. Winston secretly rebels against the Party by keeping a diary, having a forbidden love affair with Julia, and joining the Brotherhood, a resistance group. However, he is eventually betrayed by O’Brien, a Party official who pretends to be a member of the Brotherhood, and is tortured and brainwashed into loving Big Brother. The novel ends with Winston’s complete submission to the Party and its ideology.
Wow thanks
No problem, give thanks to the Big Brother:
Bing AI 🤣🤣… LMAO
🙌
Is it bad ? Will i be on any list if i click it ?
1984 is book about dystopian future written by George Orwell. You can read it or do anything with that book noone would care.
I think most of the people making references to 1984 these days haven’t actually read the book, lol
Others have mentioned it’s a reference to a novel. It was written in 1948, so the title was just a transposition of the numbers to pick a date some decades in the future.
There are a giant number of cultural references that came from it, like big brother, thought police, thought crime, double speak, newspeak, and several others.
Also, many people feel that a number of things in the fictional dystopian setting have come to pass, especially the government essentially gaslighting the people through the media in order to control society. So that’s why you see so many references.
Thanks
“The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.”
And they got him to believe things that he knew weren’t true. Not just got along with them, but believe them.
Like others have mentioned, it’s a book. I recommend reading it. Also another dystopian novel, “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. Lessons to be learned from both.
Yeah it’s a running joke (which might be too real to be funny) that the world superpower countries are split on if their game plan is to follow 1984 or Brave New World
I was born in 1984 :D
George Orwell dystopic novel…
34 and 69 have entirely different connotations.
So does 1488 which is associated with Neo Nazi movements.
The “14 words” combined with 88. “H” being the 8th letter of the alphabet so 88 = HH or “Heil Hitler”.
There’s a big difference between being one of the lucky 10,000 and not being able to Google something on your own.
