I just watched the 1984 version of 1984 and was blown away. It is such a terrifying and dark movie and does an incredible job of replicating the filth and terror from the novel.

Interesting how both films were directed by someone named Michael.

Also interesting how both films have actors who look damn near identical and actors who look drastically different in the same roles!

The 1984 winston is more convincing than the fat, well-fed and combed 1956 counterpart.

I really like the music you picked for this comparison Matt! It's interesting to see what shots mirror each other and how others have been changed completely

Great video. Cant help but feel society is edging ever closer to this dystopia.

George Orwell created an absolute masterpiece a living legend literary classic

Although I didn't really like either film, I thought the 1984 version looked amazing. The setting looked just as I imagined it, even better really.

Such a well put together video, thank you!

fascinating content Matt Skuta. I shattered that thumbs up on your video. Continue to keep up the superior work.

The 1956 version tried too hard to look futuristic, only for that to backfire when real life surpassed '50s chrome. The 1984 version, in all its uncompromising bleakness, looks convincing to this very day---and honestly better than a modern remake would. If they ever make another adaptation, I highly doubt it will top Michael Radford's masterpiece.

Since the copyright of _"1984"_ has expired 70 years after Orwell's death, they could easily make a detailed tv-series like _"A handmaid's tale"_ .

Excellent work. Thanks.

Two thumbs up from me mate. Excellent work in editing and focus.

Side-by-side The Adventures of Tintin/ animated series and the movie

correct me if I'm wrong...wasn't there another black and white original/remake of this 1984? yes, in 1954 and it starred Peter Cushing, Mr. 'Where is the rebel base,' himself - 1954 beats 1956 Winston all the way. And isn't it curiously odd that the actor in the 1984 release, John Hurt is next to a logo for the movie and it is a 'V' shape with '1984' and he also stars in the movie 'V for Vendetta' as supreme chancellor?

Hey Matt Skuta, I was thinking if you would like to upload more videos I like on KZread please? Here is the list of the side by side films I would like to see: 1. Animal Farm (1954/1999) side-by-side comparison 2. Aladdin (1992/2019) side-by-side comparison 3. Beauty and the Beast (1991/2017) side-by-side comparison 4. It/It: Chapter Two (1990/2017/2019) side-by-side comparison 5. Cinderella (1950/2015) side-by-side comparison 6. Lady and the Tramp (1955/2019) side-by-side comparison 7. Charlotte's Web (1973/2006) side-by-side comparison 8. 101 Dalmatians (1961/1996) side-by-side comparison 9. Peter Pan (1953/2003) side-by-side comparison 10. The Wolfman (1941/2010) side-by-side comparison 11. The Fly (1958/1986) side-by-side comparison 12. The Mummy (1932/1959/1999) side-by-side comparison 13. Cape Fear (1962/1991) side-by-side comparison 14. Pet Sematary (1989/2019) side-by-side comparison 15. War of the Worlds (1953/2005/2019) side-by-side comparison 16. The BFG (1989/2016) side-by-side comparison 17. The Blob (1958/1988) side-by-side comparison What do you think? Do you agree with that list? I'd say if you can upload them every day.

I appreciate your interest in my side-by-side series. I won't be able to upload them daily, the film industry shutting down amid the Covid crisis has given me more time to work on these videos but they take quite a long time to edit and they are not the only thing on my plate. Most of the movies on your list will probably get a side-by-side video at some point. I've started the Animal Farm video but am not sure when it will be finished, other videos have taken priority over it. I did a side-by-side for the Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Pet Sematary trailers and don't plan on doing a full side-by-sides any time soon. The full IT side-by-side will happen eventually but it’s not particularly appealing to me at the moment. Cinderella is going to happen but I’m still trying to decide how many version of the story to include. 101 Dalmatians will likely happen eventually. Peter Pan will defiantly happen, whether I wait for David Lowery’s adaptation to come out first or not has yet to be decided. The Wolfman, The Fly, and The Mummy were all on my initial list but I don’t recall any being very one to one in terms of plot to be comparable in this format. I’ve felt that way before about movies and gone back and done them anyway, so we’ll see. Cape Fear is happening, I have started the video but I’m not sure when I’ll finish it. The BFG is happening, it’s a side-by-side I work on a little bit every few months. The Blob will probably happen, I need to review the movies again to see how 1 to 1 they are. Many more side-by-sides you didn’t list are on their way in the months to come.

same, the acting was more human, more normal. in the 84 film everyone is too droopy and depressed (though more accurate to the book i guess) but takes back from the entertainment value because of this. the 56 film the lead actor is far more charismatic then john hurt in my opinion especially when he falls in love with Julia and is convinced he will bring down the party with the help of the resistance. he comes on like the type of man that could do this while john hurt never really seemed to convinced me of his passion and willingness to stand up to the party. Winston's relationship in the 56 film seems more genuine with Julia too. the 56 film looks aesthetically more like Britain while the 84 film could of been a depiction of soviet Russia in the 40s and 50s for all i know, it did not "feel" like the uk at all. too much soviet style brutalist buildings and art work around. the reality would be that many citizens of airstrip one would still be living in the old world brick houses that line the uk today judging by the state of the economy in the world of 1984 and the fact the regime has been around for only about 30 years at this point. i doubt ingsoc would remove housing that could be used to house citizens. they might be an evil all controlling government but i doubt they are that stupid as to need to make new houses where there is already perfect accommodations to utilize. O'Brien in the 56 film seems more energetic and convinced that his evil is good and righteous, while in the 84 film O'Brien talks to Winston and treats his job more like a job, O'Brien is more monotone, dull, boring in his approach. almost like he does not want to be there. O'Brien has no passion about what he is doing in the 84 film while in the 56 film O'Brien truly loves his job and believes 100% in the party's view of the world and his task in convincing Winston so.

​@@accountreality1988the party does not believe in its own teachings, it uses them to make the population more easily controlled. Everyone knows something is wrong but they are constantly pulled every which way mentally. They are afraid for their loved ones, they are hungry and lacking basic necessities, they know something isn't right but they've never known anything different, and it's easier to go along than to be re-educated. They don't know anything outside of the sectors they live in and what the TV feeds to them, and are allowed cigarettes and alcohol which makes them somewhat complacent, alcohol is just grain anyways why not turn it into something that makes the populace calm down a little after work so they don't have too much time to think about their situations and the world at large.

Is the top one from a VHS?

Also, after having seen both I think it is fair to say that this is one of the few instances in which The Remake was better!

Matt Skuta, I think I got an idea for side-by-side for you, if possible. Ultraman and Ultraman the Ultimate Hero (Powered), along with their enemies and Pigmon. Ultraman Powered's show was like an american remake of the original Ultraman, encountering the same enemies as the original.

Could you make a side by side comparison of Back to the Future?

Aesthetically, the 1984 version looks much better, it really sells the idea of a post nuclear war dystopian world. The 1956 version looks too dated in its future looks.
