During the film, how did the audience react? How did Winston react?

In
chapter 1,writes in his secret journal about going to the movies, where he watched several war
films. In one of the more memorable war films, Winston recalls a violent scene that depicts a
helicopter gunman shooting at a boat of refugees somewhere in the Mediterranean. Whenever the
helicopter gunman brutally kills an unarmed man swimming like a porpoise in the water, the
audience erupts into laughter and begins to shout. Winston also writes that the audience
applauded a scene when a 20 kg bomb was dropped on a boat holding several defenseless refugees.
Winston also recalls the image of a child's severed arm flying through the air, which draws
additional applause from the audience, while a prole woman is removed from the crowd for
protesting that the scene is too violent and unfit for children. While Winston elaborates on the
audience's reaction, he does not describe his own thoughts or feelings regarding the violent
films. Winston's casual explanation of the scenes, and the fact that he is not disgusted by the
movie, reveals that he is also a callous, insensitive individual. However, Winston does not
celebrate the violence like the other Party members, because he does not applaud or
cheer.
