![]() Also, it contributes to creating even more conflict between The Director and Bernard. It makes the role that Bernard plays even more important in the movie. ![]() Society makes them suppress this feeling as it does not fit into the sterilized notion of relationship and reproduction prevalent in society.The movie doesn’t have the characters of Helmotz and Ford, they are completely omitted. However, she and Bernard have always had a special relationship and sympathy for each other, as John observes several times in the movie, that something is going on between them. In the movie, Lenina likes John, she observes and admires his behavior and she desires to have a physical connection with John, only because it’s her duty as a citizen. In the book, Lenina and John fall in love with each other. In essence, she still has some connection with John, but not the same way as in the book. She even rejects to take soma, when in the book her character was never able to exhibit that strength. She is struggling to fight her need for escapism. Then Linda and John make her feel needed. In the movie she comments,“ Screen with mother was beautiful”. She starts to view his relationship with Bernard differently, and realizes that the civilization creates artificial happiness and that traditional family attachment is much more important. In the movie, John’s character has a profound influence on Lenina. Conversely, the book ends when he kills himself. Further, John plays a more significant and deeper role in the movie. John creates conflict in the movie between savages and civilization and his persona is slightly different in the movie. It is a subtle change that inspires more sympathy for the movie characters then the sympathy created for the book characters. The movie has a happy ending, Lenina and Bernard escape from the sterile, perfectly controlled world and make the decision to keep a baby and raise their own child. However, the movie has and missed a few of the main points that the author expresses in his writing. It helped me to understand the themes of the novel, more than I had previously. I like the movie “Brave New World” which was made in 1998.
