Product: Animal Farm
Rating: 1.0
A brilliant book portrayed by a poor film
The film animal farm was based on the novel by George Orwell. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the way that you could relate the animals to characters in the Russian Revolution. Orwell used a very strong form of satire by comparing the leaders of the Russian Revolution to pigs.The film disappointed me, as I was expecting the film to match or better the book. This is because of the poor animation, which was, I think, meant for children. If you haven't read the book before the film I don't think you could understand various parts in the film such as when the animals sang 'Beasts of England', you could not interpret what they were singing so this looked particularly silly.Some characters had been left out in the film such as Molly and Clover. This didn't really have any impact on the film but it would have been interesting to see what the director could have done to interpret the characteristics of the animals.The film was similar to a fable if not one. The animals had human characteristics, they could talk and as the film progressed became more and more like humans. In my opinion the moral of the story is that you cannot reach utopia instead when the animals tried they created dystopia.
