President Obama: hope openness, new and better international relations

This picture was taken for President Obama who stands for openness, new better international relations, hope, etc. 
You cannot help but see in this picture the irony... the "Big Brother" talking on the big screen in the gray, industrial settings. The sculpture of two "good citizens" towers the crowds as if telling others what they should do... and everyone does just so. Except a girls in the red scarf and green hair, that bring some hope to the scene and the jacket "1985" of the man in the rebellious stance. You might think maybe wearing the jacket "1984" would get him arrested and killed in some dark prison, maybe "1985" is just enough for us to understand the message.
