no but this Winston and Julia's scene>>>>>

ANDREW GARFIELD in the studio for Audible Adaptation of George Orwell's '1984'.

From the clips of Garfield as well as Andrew Scott that I've heard thus far, it sounds like a wonderful version of Orwell's 1984. Another actor who does a splendid job with audio books is Dan Stevens (also from England). He has a lovely voice and cadence as well.

Reading and listening to novels is a great way to spend time!

ANDREW GARFIELD talking about playing Winston Smith in Audible Adaptation of George Orwell's '1984'.

....are you sure that's n o t big brother watching and scrutinising your every move???

So one of the people on my street works for Sky TV and drives one of their vans. It has hannibal painted on one side which to be honest sets me on edge a little. It parks outside my house regularly as i don’t drive so don’t use that spot. 

When i come down for work at 5am i usually open the curtains to see what the weather is like. Some days im open them to see the house across the road. Others i open them to see this particular van outside with Hannibal staring into my living room. Sometimes i forget to close the curtains at night and when i come down for work at 5am i see this.

It is terrifying and you can’t escape it. You either have to live in the dark or live with this staring at you while you try to watch TV.

I go to make a brew and it follows me. I watch TV and its there. I close the curtains and my dog cries because she wants to sit on the windowsill and stare at it. 

I mean, is it reasonable to ask Sky to repaint a van because Mads Mikkelsen is staring me down when i try to eat my cornflakes?

I'm currently reading Julia (the 2023 retelling from Julia's perspective) and it's AWESOME

Oh my gODs

Audible's 1984 recording with Andrew Garfield

Holy shit

Holy shit

I'm five minutes in and it's the best adaptation I have heard...??

I feel like I'm in Winston's head... Staring at 1984s world...and listening to his inner thoughts...

Best adaptation I've heard.. screen or novel or graphic novel

It's so good

It's not like the having the book read to you

it's a dramatisation, more like listening to a film without seeing the visuals

We'll see if this lasts but presently

10/10, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

...my only complaint currently, some of the voice actors are American, or sound like faked Brit accents when 1984 is set in Air Strip One, aka, London..

"Urban decacy proves a pervasive motif in 1984" you mean, the make-up brand? damn, I didn't know Winston was a drag queen
