Line 150:
{{quote|'''Winston:''' Sanity is not statistical.}}
** {{spoiler|O'Brien later convinces Winston that he is more like the "Only Insane Man".}}
* [[Opposite Gender Protagonists]]: Winston and Julia. The two are lovers in an era where romance is strictly forbidden. Romance gives people a reason to step out of line, and to not obey and blindly consume everything the party says. This, combined with how Winston is already married, means the two have to hide their love in public, and find secluded places in private.
* [[Post-Mortem Conversion]]: Winston (who works for a propaganda office) pulls out a name and photo of a random dead guy and makes him a great war hero and party loyalist.
* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: Since the movie obviously cannot devote itself to lengthy info breaks like the novel does, it spends more time cultivating atmosphere and showing just how ''miserable'' life is in Airstrip One. Also, many of Winston's thought processes are lost, making him more of an [[Audience Surrogate]] - the fact that he's magnificently played by [[John Hurt]] (who even ''looks'' like George Orwell) is an added bonus.
