Brave New World

In this book i saw many similarities to V but in different contexts. I saw this book to be more similar to the book 1984. In V, people have less freedom in general but they are still able to keep their thoughts and many people have hidden beliefs and possessions from the government. In BNW its more that the government controls the people through drugging the population. It seems that all of the people are basically vegetables. It seems somewhat like the movie pleasant ville. At the same time all of these people are actually very free, but not mentally. There is no diverse thought or expression. People are all the same and there is no creative ideas. Peoples thoughts are just suppressed, while in V people must suppress their own thoughts for their own protection from their government.

V for Vendetta Part 1

I have never seen this movie before so it has been interesting. Living in a world like this seems so far out there but it is scary at the same time that societies like this have thrives only a little more that 50 years ago. It made me think about the propaganda exposition at the gallery, mainly because of the extreme nationalist messages that were being sent, and also the distortion of all the news to keep the thinking of the population in line. I also thought it was interesting how they manipulated the media stories, but at the same time controlled all of the televisions in the whole country, to make sure people watch them. It makes you really think about how people might have their thoughts differ from their actions in fear of what might happen. The idea seems so far out there because of how much freedom we have today. Living in a country like that seems like it never would actually exist, and only reside in movies, but this is not the case.
