compares winston from the novel 1984 & preston from the movie equilibrium?
451989
1984 is a classic novel of powerlessness in the face of a faceless national machine.  \n\nEquilibrium is a farce that tries to mix Brave New World, Farenheit 451, and The Matrix.\n\nThere is little comparison other than that one is a kind of parody of the other.

You're talking two totally different schools of acting. Like comparing oranges to apples. Offstage they both could be a couple of S.O.B.'s . Brando did some phenomenal stuff in Street Car, On the Waterfront, and The Wild Ones.  Wayne was always the working man's hero. I never saw John Wayne in a non-John Wayne type role, but Rooster Cogburn was one of his best. Brando did many different type roles. Like I said it's hard to compare. I got to say Brando because of his diversity.

V is for vendetta ripped 1984 off big time!\n\n1984 revolves around the all powerful state managing every aspect of a persons life. V is for Vendetta is set in England in a few decades where a Fascist styled government is oppressive and brutally treats with groups they don't agree with, like Gays or Muslims, etc... \n\nBoth are a sort of warning of the dangers of a government that loses its base amongst the people and rules with a heavy hand.

The first person STARTED to answer your question but never finished it.  The character of Tony Montana was based on the character of "Tony Comonte" in the 1932 film of the same title played by Paul Muni.\n\nHowever, Comonte was based on...that's right, Al Capone.\n\nAs far as realistic references in the 1983 version?  The character of Alejandro Sosa was based on Columbian drug kingpin, Pablo Escobar (for more on him see the movie "Blow" and the upcoming film "Killing Pablo")\n\nHope this helps.

T.S.Elliott - as you well know Blondie.  I thought it was from "The Wasteland", but I have long grown out of my adolescent fascination with Thomas Stearns, no disrespect to his undoubted abilities.  He did coin some good expressions, which is a mark of ability, if not greatness.\n\nIt was Queen Elizabeth 11 (then Princess Elizabeth) who, sitting politely in the background while Elliot read his Wasteland and other compositions to King George and his queen at Windsor Castle (by invitation) could not conceal her amusement at his ridiculous presentation and, accompanied with equal mirth by Margaret, burst into hilarious giggles!!  No doubt her parents were embarrassed, but Elizabeth, even then, was cleverer than them, and hers was the better verdict.  What a wonderful woman she is - who can match her in England? : even the great Margaret Thatcher (God bless her!) couldn't.  Her son Charles gave his most impressive speech at her 80th birthday : did you all see and hear that?  God save the Queen!   I think T.S. Elliott would echo that sentiment.

G'day Kim,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nIf it were me, I would compare and contrast the satirical approach to human nature of Voltaire's Candide and Swift's works Gullivers Travels and a Modest Proposal. (Please note that a Modest Proposal is by Swift not Milton).\n\nHaving said that, you are leaving it a bit late but hopefully you will be able to pull something together.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

Nope, it was the father of Sir Alexander Flemming, the guy who discovered penicillin who saved Winston 's life. Winston Churchill's father promised to educate his son the same as he educated his own. So little Alex went to Eton and Oxford along with little Winnie. Louis Pasteur was French (1822-1895).

There is no specific person.... it is simply a neutral narrator. Keep in mind Orwell wrote this in the form of an allegory, so there isn't a particular character telling us the story at all.

Well, both really. They have similar powers. I guess if I had to choose, it would be Jeannie and I would wish for everyone to be peaceful and have a happy life!

This was a very enjoyable book, I first read it about 15 years ago.  It is semi-autobiographical in that the author is a pilot and the narrator of the book is a pilot who meets a man with an interesting insight into the human condition and who appears to be a messiah.\n\nThe book is full of memorable lines and makes the reader contemplate life and why we are here.  I definitely recommend it. \n\nThe following link has a number of quotes from the book.
