    Absolutely not a mistake. When I read 1984 as a teenager, it forever inoculated me against doublespeak and propaganda. Maybe that movie can fulfill a similar function today.

      I know it wasn’t actually a mistake. There’s just been a lot of “that’s just like Idiocracy!” “I know, I know” conversations now. She’s never wrong, obviously.

        If it wasn’t that, she’d find something else to be obnoxious about. For me everything was literally 1984 at the time.
