Art to Go Along with the Movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2006)

If you enjoyed this movie, read George Orwell's "Politics and the English Language." Also listen to Radiohead, particularly "OK Computer" "Kid A" "Amnesiac" and "Hail to the Thief." This movie has many themes to analyze, but I think its themes are supported by other artists. "Political language...is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." "Since you don't know what Fascism is, how can you struggle against Fascism." "But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." "If the speech he is making is one that he is accustomed to make over and over again, he may be almost unconscious of what he is saying, as one is when one utters the responses in church" -George Orwell
