Nineteen Eighty-Four (stylized as 1984) is a 1984 British dystopian film written and directed by Michael Radford, based on George Orwell's 1949 novel. Starring John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton and Cyril Cusack, it follows the life of Winston Smith (Hurt), a low-ranking civil servant in a war-torn London in Oceania, a totalitarian superstate ruled by Ingsoc and its leader Big Brother. Smith struggles to maintain his sanity and his grip on reality as the regime's overwhelming power and influence persecute individualism and individual thinking on both a political and a personal level. Nineteen Eighty-Four was Burton's last screen appearance; it was released two months after his death and is dedicated to him. It was released in the United Kingdom on 10 October 1984 by Virgin Films.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens Nineteen Eighty-Four on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
