Aldous Huxley: Brave New World == >>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gxDNmrJ65A >>>> >>>> This 3-hour TV adaptation of the 1932 Aldous Huxley novel is set 600 >>>> years in the future. In this "well- ordered" society, the citizens are >>>> required to take mind-controlling drugs, sex without love is compulsory, and >>>> test-tube babies are commonplace because of a ban on pregnancy. Keir Dullea >>>> heads the cast as Thomas Grahmbell, "director of hatcheries". Not everybody >>>> is satisfied with society's lack of humanity and feeling; the loudest >>>> dissidents are free-thinking poet Heimholtz Watson (Dick Anthony Williams) >>>> and brilliant oddball Bernard Marx (Bud Cort). An injection of new "old" >>>> ideas are brought in by "primitive" John Savage (Kristoffer Tabori), who >>>> lives on an Indian reservation which still honors 20th century values. >>>> Meanwhile, Linda Lysenko (Julie Cobb) becomes a natural mother--and in so >>>> doing becomes a criminal. In keeping with the style of the original book, >>>> the script's newly-minted characters are given names of pop-culture icons >>>> (Disney, Maoina, Stalina, and so on). Brave New World was first telecast >>>> March 7, 1980.
