an afternoon in pyongyang during the 13th world festival of youth and students in 1989, being tailed...POSTSCRIPT: this was shot to show how artificial the scene was set up to be during the Festival - this is in no way meant to be a depiction of how things really were in NK in 1989!

During the World Festival of Youth and Students in North Korea we visited a fairly unconvincing dept store - but check out the glasses display!

20,000 people from 177 countries attended the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students in North Korea in 1989. Heres the bit where we walked to the stadium for the opening ceremony...

The book by George Orwell that the popular term "Big Brother" came from ... "1984".
It also inspired the TV reality game show "Big Brother".

Personally prefer this b/w classic version then the later color one ... both available on youtube.

Also read about "1984" in wiki etc or the actual book, to have some idea before watching the movie so you can appreciate it better.

Good, now when you watch the movie you can relate what the short story is talking about.

The details in the movie are important to bring you into George Orwell's perception and live the world as he predicts it in 1949.
