Never read it. I'm just disappointed because I thought it said "Animal House".

You should. It's a good book and not very long, you can knock it out pretty quick.

They'll give Napoleon Trump hair.

Guaranteed they make one set of animals trans or gay.

The first trailer for Andy Serkis’ ‘ANIMAL FARM’ has been released.

Looks like it's going to be communism can work if done right and evil capitalists don't ruin the workers paradise.

It looks like they turned a cautionary tale into a children's movie. Gross.

But it's made by Angel Studios. Hopefully there is more to it.

This reply either makes you a troll, ignorant or stupid.

The actors have a say in what rolls they take and some one like Seth Rogan would not do the movie true to the book.

That's a surprise in the plot.

Angel Studios is full on Pentecostal "Left Behind" eschatology loving Christians.

They also did "Sound of Freedom" which had the lefts panties in a wad.

The CIA bought the film rights to Animal Farm, and changed the ending a little bit to make the capitalists in the book (the humans) a little less self-interested. That complicates the copyright status of the film. It is unlikely that the US government is going to sue anyone on a movie about Animal Farm.

Orwell didn't really like American Capitalism all that much, but he was so pro-freedom, which the US is the best at in the world today, and was also the best at in the 1940s, that he didn't really complain too much about capitalism. His writings were mildly antagonistic towards capitalism.

Animal Farm is fiercely anti-communist, though.

So, Hollywood types might see this as a way of looking down on the unwashed MAGA masses who they believe will misunderstand the book. I could see, based on that trailer, that some Hollywood elites might have a Straussian reading of the book / Movie to be about how capitalism is actually bad and takes advantage of the good hard working socialists (not communists!) that are trying to make the world a better place. I mean, the one human that we hear from in the trailer has this line "I WANT that farm!"

The story about the government involvement in the 1950s Animal Farm movie and Orwell's opinion on US Capitalism is almost as interesting as the short story itself.

The Sound of Freedom was awesome.

I watched it with my college age daughter, and we had a really great discussion after about how evil is so much more prevalent in the world than most of us are exposed to. We talked about some things that have happened in our extended family that really took her by surprise. Was not a fun day, really, but one of the most meaningful days I have spent with my daughter.

At the time of production the original cartoon of animal farm was the most expensive animated feature ever made. It was also the first thing ever made by Touchstone films.

What most people don't know, but can now easily find with Google, is that the money to found the studio and make the movie was provided by the CIA. The movie was made in England as a way to try and hide this. Shortly, after this, the CIA shifted gears slightly, and instead of funding movies outright found out that it was much cheaper to just contribute money to existing movie projects and have the scripts changed here or there. Adding or deleting characters or changing dialogue slightly to get some message out.


The CIA has been in movie making and documentaries for a while now. I would assume several decades from now we will find out that they are behind this version as well.

Slightly related. National Geographic magazine was a go to cover story for the CIA for a long time, might still be, for getting people into areas they had interest in.

This would later spill over into the products they made in print or film.

Lets not give Orwell so much credit here, the themes about the pigs betraying "real socialism" are already in Animal Farm too. Orwell was a socialist not someone who advocated capitalism. Im sure this will twist his message about the oppression of the state into some kind of modern version dealing with perceived oppression based on identity politics. Thats a slam dunk.

---

People get this time line confused often. Animal Farm was published in 1945. Years after Orwell had become completely disillusioned by socialism, after participating in the failed experiment in Spain and seeking the tragedies of the Soviet Union.

Not saying he was a pure capitalist or anything either, probably closer to a classical liberal at this point in his life.

---

That is the way I look at it. Orwell the socialist/classical liberal was witness to how the Stalinists were oppressing people. What he probably didn't recognize was if Communism had not allowed a guy like Stalin and Politburo to abuse people, it still set the table for anyone else to do the same. He didn't see that socialism is a gateway for more government control that eventually leads to communism. He just thought that if the other animals had held the pig accountable things would have been different . He also didn't have the benefit of history to see that these collectivist movements ALWAYS END THE WAY

There's nothing wrong with pure socialism or even communism. It well could be the perfect system - except for the fact that it doesn't consider human nature. Human nature on the one hand craves power - on the other hand it craves getting something for nothing.

Therefore, it will never work and will always lead to suffering and death.

It also won't work because we haven't solved scarcity. Until we do that, it will always fail. The left thinks that scarcity doesn't matter and that they can work around the basic rules of economics simply through willpower.

🇺🇸 HOLLYWOOD TAKES ORWELL'S ANTI-COMMUNIST MASTERPIECE - MAKES IT ANTI-CAPITALIST AND WOKE INSTEAD

Andy Serkis spent 14 years adapting Animal Farm.

Added a billionaire villain not in the book. Made her the main threat.

Napoleon - Orwell's Stalin stand-in - gets downgraded to… pic.twitter.com/aLyi2b8ymr

Napoleon - Orwell's Stalin stand-in - gets downgraded to supporting antagonist voiced by Seth Rogen. The new villain drives a Cybertruck knockoff. Producers claim resemblance to Elon is "unintentional." Sure.

Then Serkis rewrote the ending. Orwell's original: pigs become indistinguishable from humans, revolution betrayed, totalitarianism wins. His version: animals overthrow pigs, plan "brighter future." Director's explanation: "We wanted some hope." Here's the problem: Animal Farm wasn't about capitalism. Orwell wrote it as a direct allegory for Soviet Russia - how revolutionary ideals get corrupted by power-hungry authoritarians. The pigs ARE the communists. That's the entire point. Hollywood just inverted the message. Took a socialist's warning about socialism becoming tyranny and turned it into "corporations bad." Added an outside capitalist villain so the animals' internal corruption - the actual story - becomes secondary... Orwell spent his life warning about totalitarianism from the left. Now Seth Rogen voices Napoleon like it's a buddy comedy while the real villain is tech billionaires.

14 years to completely miss the assignment.

He didn't miss it; he knew exactly what he was doing.

"We wanted some hope."

Then make a movie with that message. Don't usurp one of the most famous political dissertations against far left political ideology of the 20th century and change the theme.

This is obviously a calculated move by the left to do just that. These evil f*s never stop. Absolute cancer.

Andy Serkis is a great actor, but I'm not watching this ****. Trying to "reimagine" or "modernize" someone else's classic work to fit your own narrative or world-view because no one would want to see it if you created something from scratch is about as lazy as it comes.

This reimagining of Animal Farm started before this movie

Just more gaslighting by the left
