Metropolis ist ein deutscher Spielfilm von Fritz Lang aus dem Jahre 1927. Er ist einer der bekanntesten Science-Fiction-Filme der Filmgeschichte und zugleich einer der visuell einflussreichsten Stummfilme. Der Film wurde nach seiner Uraufführung am 10. Januar 1927 in Berlin kein kommerzieller Erfolg. Auch eine im selben Jahr herausgebrachte umgearbeitete und gekuerzte zweite Fassung (Premiere am 25. August 1927 in Stuttgart und München) fand kein Publikum. Die filmhistorische Bedeutung von Metropolis ergab sich erst in spaeteren Jahrzehnten. Mit 5 Millionen Reichsmark (dies entspricht in etwa 16,6 Millionen Euro heutiger Kaufkraft) Produktionskosten war Metropolis der bis dahin teuerste Film der deutschen Filmgeschichte. Durch den ausbleibenden Erfolg war die Ufa vorübergehend ruiniert. Lange Zeit existierten nur gekuerzte Fassungen des Films und die originale Langfassung galt als verschollen. Erst 2008 wurden in Buenos Aires Filmrollen (etwa 30 Minuten fehlender Sequenzen) wiederentdeckt, die derzeit restauriert werden.......................................... ................................................

BBC Television's live production of George Orwell's "1984". Produced in 1954. Creative Commons license: Public Domain. Nineteen Eighty-Four is a classic dystopian novel by English author George Orwell. Published in 1949, it is set in the eponymous year and focuses on a repressive, totalitarian regime. The story follows the life of one seemingly insignificant man, Winston Smith, a civil servant assigned the task of falsifying records and political literature, thus effectively perpetuating propaganda, who grows disillusioned with his meagre existence and so begins a rebellion against the system. The novel has become famous for its portrayal of surveillance and society's increasing encroachment on the rights of the individual. Since its publication the terms Big Brother and Orwellian have entered the popular vernacular. Orwell, who had "encapsulated the thesis at the heart of his novel" in 1944, wrote most of Nineteen Eighty-Four on the island of Jura, Scotland, during 19471948 while critically ill with tuberculosis. He sent the final typescript to his friends Secker and Warburg on 4 December 1948 and the book was published on 8 June 1949. Nineteen Eighty-Four has been translated into more than 50 languages. The novel's title, its terms, its language (Newspeak), and its author's surname are bywords for personal privacy lost to national state security. The adjective "Orwellian" denotes many things. It can refer to totalitarian action or organization, as well as governmental attempts to control or misuse information for the purposes of controlling, pacifying or even subjugating the population. "Orwellian" can also refer generally to twisted language which says the opposite of what it truly means, or specifically governmental propagandizing by the misnaming of things; hence the "Ministry of Peace" in the novel actually deals with war and the "Ministry of Love" actually tortures people. Since the novel's publication "Orwellian" has in fact become somewhat of a catch-all for any kind of governmental overreach or dishone
