#RESIST hits Broadway: ‘1984’ remake leaves audience fainting, fighting, and vomiting

Following the election and inauguration of Donald Trump, sales of George Orwell’s classic dystopian novel “1984” skyrocketed to number one on the Amazon bestseller list. The book’s publisher, Penguin, even ordered 75,000 reprints of the book. It was only a matter of time before the Trump bump for Orwell’s book would turn into a Broadway production. However, due to its graphic portrayal of grotesque torture scenes, it’s caused audience members to faint, vomit, and even get into fistfights. In a similar fashion to the novel, the play, starring Tom Sturridge as Winston Smith and Olivia Wilde as Julia (his illegal love interest), follows the two evading the government, Big Brother, and the propaganda it uses to control the masses.

A pathetic bunch of tarts.

It amazes me that the left thinks the election of Trump is bringing us 1984, and I felt the same way because of the election of Obama.

[henkster]

It’s totally lost on the leftists that this book is about them.

[Rurudyne]

So Trump is reducing government regulation and backing out of AGW agreements that should have never been: and that’s boosting 1984 sales?

[Jim Robinson]

Another leftist propaganda movie. The useful idiots will lap it up.

[DuncanWaring]

Ain’t irony wonderful!

“Caused audience members to faint, vomit and even get into fistfights”

Cher is touring again?

Rosie Odonnel has a speaking part.

[Jim Robinson]

Yup. How is the act of reducing big government bringing in big brother? It does not compute.

You’re right!!!!

The old “1984” movies were about the leftists, too!!!!

And even this commercial is about thwarting the leftists, especially the professors that teach Frankfort School ideology:

Big Brother. Like Obama’s use of our intelligence agencies and surveillance capabilities to stop political opposition?

I can see that making me sick or wanting to fight.

“Fainting, fighting and vomiting”

That reminds me.....the family reunion is this weekend.

The summer before my senior year in high school, the list included the novel "The Caine Mutiny." Knowing nothing about it I lay down on the couch, opened the book, and about eight hours later I realized that my eyes were burning and it was 3:00 AM. I reluctantly put it down and went to bed. The next day I finished it, overwhelmed. Some time later I saw the 1950s movie version with Humphrey Bogart. What a disappointment.

People who see a play based upon a book are bound to be disappointed.

[aberaussie]

Hahahaha!

[End Times Sentinel]

It’s totally lost on the leftists that this book is about them.

Self awareness is not a dominant trait on the left. That would be rooted in rationality instead of emotion.

At the last family reunion, Uncle Bill did all three at once.

It’s violence porn... liberals love that stuff.

The two books Hillary absolutely loved as a child were “Animal Farm” and “1984.”
