New Film Adaptation Of ‘1984’ To Feature Big Brother As The Good Guy

Via The Babylon Bee

HOLLYWOOD, CA — At a press conference this week, Sony producers announced the production of a new modern adaptation of George Orwell’s dystopic novel 1984 that will feature the character of Big Brother as the good guy.

“We felt like it was time to update the story to fit a modern audience,” Sony producer Glen Maxwell told reporters. “After seeing how censorship and totalitarianism have grown in popularity over the past few years, we think Big Brother is probably a better protagonist than Winston Smith. Big Brother’s insistence on absolute compliance fits better with current progressive ideals.”

The film will feature a sympathetic Big Brother working with the state to better the lives of millions by implementing strict adherence to DEI policies, CRT teachings in schools, and CDC guidelines throughout society.

“After seeing how much people craved rules and control during the Covid pandemic, we decided it wouldn’t accurately depict what society looks like right now to have a protagonist who goes against the state narrative,” Maxwell commented. “I mean, we didn’t have to do much with the script, we just used a bunch of Anthony Fauci quotes from the past few years and filled in the blanks. ‘I am the science’. Pure Big Brother gold!”

The film is set to release next year and will star Mark Ruffalo, with a supporting cast including George Takei and Susan Sarandon, and will be directed by Rob Reiner.

This is The Bee’s most essential statement yet about DIEversifed Clownworld, with all of its recasting of Snow Black and the rest of The Not-So-Great Replacement of Robert E. Lee with George Floyd, plus the Three R’s with Common Whore.

The “Who’s Next” album was derived from left over bits of Townsend’s “Lifehouse” project. The song “Behind Blue Eyes” is written from the perspective of Big Brother. Something to think about next time you’re sitting on the porch, having a drink and belting it out.

Never heard that one.

So,

No one knows what it’s like
To be hated
To be fated To telling only lies

. . . is Big Brother bemoaning the heaviness of the head that wears the crown? Big Brother as sentimental human being? That’s what Townshend is saying?

I don’t think Townsend is excusing Big Brother. The portrayal is realistic. Himmler once bemoaned the negative effects of killing non-combatants on Nazi prison guards. Apparently it made them feel bad sometimes.

You know…when you think about it, they’re going to have to at some point.

I think they got the casting wrong. These days it would only be green-lighted with a black female as Big Sista telling all the White folks how it’s gonna be.

They could use “Tim Apple” to play Big Brother, since his manner is non-threatening. Funny to think that Apple started off with an anti-tyranny pose. Apple is probably less bad than Facebook and Google.

Smith was a domestic terrorist. The state was over kind in re-educating him. The state ought to have simply shot him into a ditch as the Chinese do with their annoying subjects. Oh, also, following Chinese pattern, send his family a bill for the bullet.

I thought Big Brother would be Black. You know, a Big Brother, Brother.
