Big Brother was directly influenced by Nineteen Eighty Four and was originally conceived as a social experiment. It was never intended to turn into a Trash TV show like The Real World.
You can't say hand on heart Big Brother would not have existed if it were not for The Real World. Completely unfounded BS. |

then if we're going to continue down the 'ignoring Shaun's topic and bringing up some **** show noone cares about' route, I direct you again to Stu's 1984 point.
Now, back on topic: I like how it's managed to predict a lot of society's interruption with "reality" television, particularly the number of lives its probably ruined [correlations between Truman, and say, Jade Goody perhaps].

I have, and there's more to it than that. Such as the ideas of constant surveillance, control over what you eat. Sure - the show is a lot less political than the book because, well, you can't lock 14 people in a House and torture them into thinking 2 + 2 is 5.

As for Nineteen Eighty Four, It's one of my favourite novels ever and the entire theme of the Big Brother TV show evolved from it with relation to constant surveillance and peoples lives being controlled by a higher entity. Were you looking for a litteral adaption? What do you want, the Thought Police to break into the house and batter the **** out of the housemates? |

I have read 1984 and to say the only thing they have in common is the title, is a very ignorant way of looking at it. The concept remains, people being controlled by a somewhat unknown force, having no say in a lot of things, being watched and probed, it's not to be taken for face value.

Bill Clinton commenting on something makes it not trash?
Bill Clinton? Ol' Blowjob Bill? Of all the examples you could have used, dude. Gordon Brown commented on Big Brother. Does that make it not trash? Seriously, your too dense for this debating game. At the end of the day this thread is not about The Real World. |

I get the mental image of you squinting at the screen trawling through threads trying to look for the word 'real' breathing heavily so you can derail it into a discussion about The Real World that nobody will give a **** about. Your an old enough lad. Christ. Cop on and act like it. |

However, he begins to notice that everything isn't 'real', ie. background characters appear on a loop, he sees his dad as an 'extra', and tries to escape from the town. At every escape attempt the producers conjure up something to stop him - like traffic, bus breakdowns, forest fires, a nuclear meltdown... Basically it's about completely exploiting this one man for entertainment. A number of people begin a 'Free Truman' campaign to scrap the show [which is watched by billions nationwide apparently ![]()

It's a Peter Weir film so it's obviously class.

I also believe The Matrix has literal interpretations. You can view it as a metaphor for the 'fake' world of advertising and mass media that we live in. |
