In the 1995 film Hackers, Matthew Lillard plays a character named Emmanuel Goldstein, who makes a reference to Nineteen Eighty-Four with the line: "'1984'? Yeah, right. That's a typo."
Telescreens, in addition to being surveillance devices, are also the equivalent of televisions (hence the name), broadcasting propaganda about Oceania's military victories, economic production figures, spirited renditions of the national anthem to heighten patriotism, and Two Minutes Hate, which is a two-minute film of Emmanuel Goldstein's wishes for freedom of speech and press, which the citizens have been trained to disagree with through doublethink.
