I don't care about boring films about boring books, I've despised Orwell's works since the moment I've read them when I was a liberal, because they are of poor quality. 1984 is even misogynous with its portrayal of the female character and the whole story is poorly written, as others have pointed out, there are better implementations of the same idea, such as a Brave New World.
So you consider Orwell a plagiarist, but not Huxley?
