I definitely see elements of both. It's really scary just how prophetic they both turned out to be.

The opening line from the 1953 film version of 1984.

What happens to the people in this story might happen to us. Might happen to you. If we should ever relax in our fight for freedom, if we should allow any individuals or any group of individuals to reduce our freedom of thought, our freedom of speech, our freedom of religion, then what happens to the people in this story will happen to us.
