Apple is using 1984 references to show us that old boring computer company want to control our mind and that Apple can deliver us. Funny to look at it now and see how hard they are working to have control on our digital life ... while still beeing an "edgy" company.
The title of the movie and the image works well. The chain at the top of the image can also looks like the person is hanging which is a contradiction with the glorious war medal. Looking at the IMDB page of this movie was a real turn-off.
The main feeling in this painting is probably agressivity. There is also a exasperation feeling in the way the beast is moving, almost like someone who abdicates. It's interesting to see when Ernst made this painting and understand that feeling.
