Koray Mavruk The motion picture "Brave New World" directed by Libman embodies the most important constituents of the same named novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. The structure of society is good shown, so the viewer gets to know the caste system and the important personalities very early."Now…we have no crime, no war, no disease and everyone is happy".This how Gabriel a character special added for the movie represents the youth and shows in progress that he can reject the current society which is really well shown in the sequence in the end of the motion picture where Gabriel crams full his ears during the hypnopaedia. But what me personally impressed was the "trifles" in the movie e.g. when John acts Romeo and Juliet in front of Lenina's class and gets ridiculous feedback from the pupils with one exception: Gabriel.Libman also really good show the changes of the main characters like Marx' envy on John because of his relationship to Lenina who changes most of all. The hand-kiss on John when his mother lies in death visualize marvelously her developed feelings. And so Libman creates a "Triangle of Love". Of course a movie is not a movie without action. In this way he lets the D.H.C played by Miguel Ferrer manipulate a crashed Delta to kill Marx because of his fear that his "little secret" becomes published. Marx is played by Peter Gallagher who becomes international famous by the aid of the successful show "O.C. California". His relationship with Lenina and the consequent developed "Love Story" between her rises when John the Savage arrives the "Brave New World".With reference to the visual representation Libman and Williams (2nd director) have to be extolled. All the slogans and quotations from the novel run through my head after I saw the movie for the first time."Everyone belongs to everyone else", "history is bunk.", "Promuscuity is a citizen's duty." Also the visualization of the facts like the D.H.C's conviction as John's father is very well shown in a kind of a TV-Show.What I have to criticize is the absence of my favorite character in the novel Hemholtz Watson and the changed characteristics like Marx' outward appearance. Libman embodies in his whole movie lots of different aspects; so the motion picture concludes love, action and a kind of thriller.All in all I acclaim the film version and I am afraid that there is not a DVD version of it with German sound. This movie is really interesting and shows you for 87 minutes a "Brave New World".

ct-scan This movie gets some of it's ideas from Huxley's book, but basically they just pick and choose certain things they want. The story does not flow in the same way, so SOOO much is missing. They make up story lines that completely go against Huxley's story, actually made me so irritated to watch this movie.To name a few points which I found most disturbing: Bernard and Lenina's relationship is portrayed to be way more than it should be. Someone (a Delta) is trying to kill Bernard because the DHC programmed him that way. The DHC is overall just evil. Pope is not in the story at all with John and Linda, actually, the whole reservation thing is completely changed! Linda isn't fat or horribly disfigured by age, but yet she is called fat.Read the book, it's only like 200 pages.

Robert-Westmeier Brave New World (1998) is directed from an unknown director and he used unknown actors/actresses. The movie is based on the novel from Aldous Huxley, published in 1932. It is a sort of science-fiction movie but is not comparable with the Star Wars or Star Trek movies. The film has a length of around 90 minutes and it is about a world where everything seems to be perfect because all the people are conditioned. There are five different groups with a different intelligence a different attitude to life. Beyond the borders of the Brave New World there live the "normal" people who are not conditioned and live a life like we do. But one day two Brave New Worlders, who are against the system, fly to the reservation to make a holiday. But the helicopter has an accident and later they get to know John and his mother. Because John is actually a boy from the Brave New World, they take them with them back to find out, who John's father is. And this will bring a very big surprise with it. John is going to be the most interesting man there and this will change his life and the life of some other inhabitants of the Brave New World. In this movie you will find many changes of the characters, sadness and happiness. So it is very demanding movie which you won't really understand if you have not read the novel. The novel is more detailled and the relationship between some characters is described closer. Another point is that some scenes in the movie doesn't exist in the novel and vice versa. So would recommend this movie only to people who have read the novel or to people who doesn't care about things like that and are just interested in the subject.

John Hensley In 1932 Aldous Huxley released a confused and naive social rant that gathered what are now considered the worst gimmicks and cliches of science fiction into a single book. 66 years later, Mazur and Tausik managed to assemble that book's characters and a few of its more credible ideas into a worthwhile story. Huxley's book was obsessed with the social effects of what he perceived to be the advent of factory production (actually, it was 300 years old at the time). The movie's focus is instead on the interplay between pop culture, politics, and social relations. The movie premiered in the year of the Lewinsky scandal, and the scandal of the Hatcheries Director is presented with obvious references to the real media's unrealistic expectations of public figures ("How could someone in his position be allowed to have a baby!"). In the book John was portrayed as an Indian, but here he is from a trailer park, and this allows Mazur & Tausik to explore class prejudice. As in the book, everyone is pigeonholed into a rigid social class from birth. John doesn't fit the mold; he is poor but intelligent and doesn't want any part of your brave new world, thanks. The press are baffled that anyone would question massive social planning as the solution to everything, and they don't know what to do with John except make him a gossip and parody piece. There is a clear analogy to today's national press, based in metropolitan cities where non-urbanites are often viewed with contempt.There is plenty more that speaks to the present day. Bernard Marx has an run-in with a disgruntled Delta who "goes postal." In an encounter between John and Mustapha Mond, the latter reveals that (unlike in the book) classical literature isn't forbidden at all; people simply don't read it because the culture doesn't equip them to understand it.The strength of this adaptation rests on the fact that it is examining a real social trend, the development American baby-boomer culture. Nearly all of Huxley's gimmicks (including the nursery rhymes and the absurd Henry Ford cult) are gone. The result, unlike the book, is a social commentary that matters.
