Only this month was released on the service Peacock TV series on the most famous novel by Oldhos Huxley "On the wonderful New World", as it became known that another Roman-Utopia Huxley "Island" will be filmed, conceived by the writer as an antithosis to the "Willing New World". Winner "Oscar" Leonardo Dicaprio will perform the producer of a new series. About the director and screenwriter not yet information.
The novel "Island" was published a year before the death of the author, in 1962. It tells how Journalist Will Barnabi as a result of the shipwreck falls on the island of Pala near Sumatra, where he gets acquainted with the locals. Barnabi at the beginning of the story is a very unpleasant person, hates mother and father, and when laughs, reminds Gien. But the local society is close to the ideal, they are alien to violence and a tendency to accumulation.
True, in the perfect state of Huxley, under the influence of which the protagonist is re-educated and becomes a worthy person, there are deficiencies. It turned out that perfect people do not need art. They do not create their own, and someone else's unrecognizable censorship so that it corresponds to their ideology.
