War of the Worlds

Comparing the War of the Worlds movie with the tape of the actual radio cast its two diffrent stories yet some how there similiar. Listening to it on the tape though beat the movie and Tom Cruieses over dramatic acting. I felt really intune while listening to it,  very entertaining. I was very suprised that the sound and everything else was created and confined in one room. Even though it was a fake story people beleived it, this just shows how important the media is and how people are to attached to it, that is what Orwell was trying to show. The hidden message was that media in the form of radios and television is more of an enemy to us than martians from outer space, and that we should not let the media consume us.
