** The Michael Radford movie expresses Winston's absolute despair, as the once-independent man reduced into severe alcoholism, all thoughts of personal love or the tiniest fragments of hope completely expunged out of his mind and soul, had tears in his face, saying to the telescreen as the melancholic anthem of Oceania played, "I love you".

The camera then cuts away to show a far away shot of the bar (pictured above), with Winston and the bartender. Not counting the bartender, Winston has nobody else to help him. He just feels so ''alone'' and so ''small'' in his newfound love for the organization he tried to rebel against.
