"The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to."

"You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and except in darkness, every movement scrutinised."

Big Brother is watching you.

The interesting - and frustrating - thing about this film is that it ISN'T an adaptation of the story. It's sort of a collection of scenes performed in tribute. Without having read the book (recently and intently), there is no way of determining a full or cogent understanding of the plot. Or any plot.

That said, I think the scenes themselves are very well realized. It just would have taken a movie of some considerable length to make such faithful renderings of those scenes into one narrative work.

I think mainly it was done just because it was spring of 1984 at the time and it was a way of paying tribute to the novel.
