Lit is about patrician books. Go to reddit if you want to discuss Orwell. You will find hundreds of thousands of people who lap up his words.

Not the guy you're responding to, but I agree with you. The hallmark of the first world is no longer the industrial evolution. The hallmark of the first world is leisure. The goals and aims of our society our built around leisure. You're a success if you have lots of leisure at your disposal. So of course hedonism comes in because that's essentially what leisure is: doing what pleases you.

I find it hilarious that both Orwell and Green are young adult authors that adults try to convince everyone are actually very complex and deep. Orwell for teenage boys and Green for teenage girls. It's just really tickling my neurons to see you attempting to insult someone for not liking Orwell while using his contemporary equal as ammunition. Try reading something that wasn't assigned in a classroom, friend.

All of these soldiers could've been african, and the fictional characters are, well, fictional. You just don't know shit about history, or movie making for that matters - if an a black actor plays well, he'll get the role, to hell with, what, racial accuracy ? Only you guys care about that.
That said, BBC is pure filth.
