Well first things first, the book is far superior to the movie, however the movie is worth a look as it does bring to life some of the themes in the book rather well. In fact the opening sequence is incredibly well put together and the performances from John Hurt as Winston and Richard Burton as O'Brien make this movie a very important piece of history and well worth seeing, especially in todays context.
