Some animals are more equal

If it is said that the more sober people are, the more painful it is, then George Orwell is destined to suffer in life.

As a believer of socialism, he went to the battlefield for his ideals, was injured, lived in poverty, and was persecuted all his life. After his death, the works he left behind became "tools for attacking socialist countries" in the West, and became taboo in the East.

I wonder if he brought himself in when he wrote Animal Farm, and what animal would he write about himself? I don't know if it's the horse who worked hard all his life and was squeezed out of his surplus value.

    Nice shot. The animation in 1954 is not at all lost to the present. No matter what age, hand-drawn animation will never go out of style. Although the picture is very good, it did not capture the depth of the original work. Compared with the meaningful open ending of the original work, the animation superfluous changed to Happy Ending is also a failure. Hope this excellent novel can be remade into a better work//20150416 Archive film

    Too much has been cut from the original, and the plot is incoherent, perhaps for ideological reasons. After all, it was still in the Cold War at the time, and this novel satirizing totalitarianism was not only aimed at the socialist camp. The painting style is still too childish, but I can't think of a better way to express it

Animal Farm quotes

  • Napoleon: Loyal followers, on farms owned and operated by pigs, there is order and discipline. Own lower animals do more work and eat less than other on farms.

    [gives medals]

    Napoleon: With this, we encourage you to make your lower animals work even harder and eat even less! To a greater Animal Farm! For peace and plenty under pig rule!

    [Benjamin, outside imagines Napoleon's face assimilating that of Jones; he suddenly sees through the resemblance]

    Napoleon: To the day when pigs own and operate farms EVERYWHERE!

    [applause]

  • Narration Spoken by: And that night the pigs drank to Boxer's memory, in the whisky they had bought with Boxer's life.
