Someone holds up a placard that says: ACT 1.
A poster of Big Brother. It is captioned: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.
A single placard says: WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.»

«Someone holds up a placard that says: ACT 6.
Winston sits alone. Then he holds up a sign that says I LOVE BIG BROTHER without changing his expression.
Someone holds up a placard that says: THE END»
