Totally, Oni. A whole different character. I had to read 1984 before I understood the novel fully...like the film Labyrinth. I wish the musical would have been made as well, but as Bowie said in 1997 in an interview for his 50th birthday, "I've written many musicals and done many...in my head! Ha-ha-ha!" But Mrs. Orwell didn't give him the rights for a musical for a couple reasons. 1. Bowie was obviously coked up and not sane enough to ask for it the right way. 2nd. She said that making a movie out of the novel was 'horrible enough'.
