Nineteen Eighty-Four is told through the eyes of Winston Smith, a minor civil servant in the Ministry of Truth whose job it is to rewrite history for the totalitarian state of Oceania.
《一九八四》透过真理部小职员温斯顿·史密斯的观点讲述,史密斯的工作就是为极权国家大洋国改写历史。
But it also shows, with excruciating precision, the cruelty with which a totalitarian state can exploit the weakness and confusion of its citizens.
不过电影还以令人痛苦的精确手法揭示了一个极权主义国家如何残忍地利用人民的软弱和愚昧。
Ninteen Eighty-Four tells the story of Winston Smith, and his degradation by the totalitarian state in which he lives.
