Brave New World/ Aldous Huxley
GuitarJunkie:
--- Quote from: Artiste Extraordinaire ---I haven't read Eyeless in Gaza, but I don't think it's a utopian novel (could be wrong, I always just thought it was a pacifist book). Nineteen Eighty-Four (not 1984, although that's just pedantic) and Brave New World win the prize for second best and third best pieces of English literature from me. The best is Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, which EVERYONE SHOULD READ.
Also, open question: should Brave New World be made into a film? Nineteen Eighty-Four was (in 1984) and it wasn't so bad. So was Catch-22, and it was pretty average, but considering the scope of the source material it's understandable. The setup of Equilibrium, with The Christian Bale, basically merges Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World together, and I think that weakened it a bit conceptually. So would Brave New World make for a shit film, or a good one?
--- End quote ---
I saw a horrible tv movie of Brave New World once. I only have one arm left because of it. I gnawed the other off.
It had Lenina ending up with Bernard Marx and all sorts of craziness.
I think Brave New World could be done quite well if they got the right guy to pull it off. Although I am always sceptical of directors making films of books I like.
