I'm sure almost all of you read 1984 in high school. It's a fantasy story. It's not reality. And Natilie Portman had about as much to do with the story as I did. Zilch. She was about 5 when it was written. This is the same writer who wrote From Hell and the League of Extrodinary Gentlemen. Two more fantasy stories.

The story, much like
1984, has never been more appropriate than it is today.
