Books are usually worth more than movies and retain a stronger imprint in
memory.
I did not read books of Orwell. I remember however movie based on 1984 - it
was quite impressive. Now, I am downloading through aMule a copy, to refresh
my memory. Whenever I watch CNN - that movie comes to my mind ;) I saw also
(again, through aMule) Animals Farm. That movie wasnt great in my opinion but
it is worth to watch it once and remember.
In general, P2P network allows to find great things. One however needs to know
well how to search or get a direction from someone on what to search (thats a
quite week point in case of P2P - searching mechanism is very poor). I know a
lady in Russia (through the Internet) and she directed me to several
wonderfull, very interesting movies that (and we are living in a "free"
country!) that will never ever be shown here in public.
