George Orwell - Animal Farm (ENGLISH Part 1/8)

[kkk191]

George Orwell was a good Marxist, but unfortunately he was born in wrong time :(

[Smartboy8877]

It seems as if a lot of people are reading this book for school. I read it when I was seventeen and thought that it told a great story!

[wresltgal]

i remember reading this in junior english

[MrStrawberrytofu]

Finished the book at school :)

[iheartmidnight]

Its seems to me the book is better then the actual movie..

[MyLittleMartin]

@iheartmidnight They always are :/

[narutogum22]

Think of war pigs by black sabbath and this bok are they related? YES OR NO?

[OrantezB]

I watched this in my chicanos studies class, and it was so amazing. My amazing teacher explained how our nation works as a triangle

[leleysings]

knew napoleon was a bad nut from the start (of the book ;) )

i didn't even like the book, lol

and yet i was sitting in class going OMG THAT WAS NOT IN THE BOOK! :L xx

[katanauchiha94]

Read the book n watched the movie :)

[TonyRalphVideos]

we're treating it at school and i think it's better to learn by watching the movie. And it's much more fun

[Battledroidlover]

Napoleon looks like Stalin.

[Christhefireshark]

I just read the book, and it was great! If anyone here has not read the book, be sure to.

[LoveuChristopherDrew]

This book is AMAZING !

[MrSan68able]

@nona98 yeh same it sucks

[EDFslayer]

god, watching the real one in english, so fucking crap

[despicableme101]

napolean scares the helll out of me!! this movie is scary lol

[nona1098]

I'm only watchin this because I've got to to an essay about the freaking book

[MrJuliomafia]

@nona1098 hell yeah !!!

[TheOtakuFiles]

[Schotorm]

I read this book in English, I'm french. It's a very good movie and book.

[hottyana123]

ehh. who read...lmao

[ravenclaweagles]

i read the book for my own enjoyment :)

[squishfly1]

i loved reading the book in my lit class, i thought it was so interesting, the whole corrolation between the russian revolution. we're starting on 1984, i'm VERY excited :)

[IBMusicx]

Animal farm is supposed to be a satire book and each animal resembles to someone in the Russian revolution, I recently had to read the book at school and do an essay about Old Major and Napoleon :P

By the way, there has been no mention of Clover the Horse yet, is she in this film?

[ceitiosaurus]

@IBMusicx Nope. Unfortunelty as close to the book as the film is it does not follow it 100%.

[LazerZoom]

Reading this book in English the ending sucks ass and sadly this is how the Russian revolution went :(

[ThePeterrabbit35]

....is this a childs movie?

[1006christopher]

Whos up for some communist ham and eggs? Hey has anyone seen Napolean latley *cough* *cough*

[seah555]

the movie is a little diffrent from the book

[jeabo0adhd]

This book could be an allegory of any idealist turned dictatorship.

[CookieLuvsYou1]

Reading This Book In My English Literature Class... DEATH TO NAPOLEAN !! ... Little Carried Away But.... Yea.

[jacobdoop12]

[ckMC13410]

Reading this is English :) So sad what happens to Boxer in the end :'(

[kmeffect1]

That Napoleon is a bad egg

[0hvist]

@kmeffect1 he's supposed to represent Joseph Stalin, the determined leader of Soviet Russia

[DragonMasterMack]

@kmeffect1 More like a rotten slice of ham if you ask me.

[kmeffect1]

@DragonMasterMack It's ok dragon master, but I wouldnt open with it.:p lol

[lness38]

reminds me of good old times with my high school english class :P

[bruynseraedemichael]

Brings back memories

Saw this movie when i was little kid

[VvAnarchangelvV]

This film came out in 1954. In '50, the CIA trained Tibetans to attack China. In '53, the CIA overthrew the democratic government of Mossadegh in Iran. In '54, the CIA overthrew the democratic government of Jacobo Guzmán in Guatemala. In '54, the US refused to support free elections in Viet Nam at the Geneva Convention

This US puppeteering was only a small part of the over 50 incidents of anti-democratic interference & attacks on nations worldwide to the present day. Full list on Anarchopedia

[ButtcrackBill100]

Aint this the movie where them animals seen that spider that talks? I dont know my movies that well, so thats why Im askin.

[IveBeenRedeemed]

@ButtcrackBill100 That's Charlote's Web

[TaimaDjinn]

I would hate to see a Disney whitewashing of this classic tale. Oh wait, Hallmark did that......

[Themsthebreaks1]

You obviously know nothing of the book. It is not a book against communism.

[TaimaDjinn]

@Themsthebreaks1 It is and it isn't against communism: it was a commentary against Leninism and Stalinism, both of which were ultraconservative, rightwing, autocratic regimes that espoused equality as an ideal but ultimately practiced militaristic industrialism.

[pantalonesycamisas]

@takeitharder ... I'm from Mexico, dude. I was just joking :)

[lucymo1000]

I just read some articles that report that ANIMAL FARM was funded by the CIA.

[babyflyoO]

cool! i just got done watching watership down.

[beaconnell]

the pigs look like , and major counts , a pig pile of human skin that the devil nevered ironed.

[pantalonesycamisas]

In Soviet Russia, Animals command you

[EmperorsNewnewGroove]

@pantalonesycamisas lol good one

[beaconnell]

the pig looks so disturbing

[ItsNanna97]

@beaconnell

Hahahahah

[ClaireeXXD]

I HATE this book/movie but have been made to study it for english >< fml

[KrautGoesWild]

"In Capitalism one man exploits the other man.

In Communism it´s the other way around!"

[tenseman08]

Guys if you like Orwell you should check out Brave New World by Huxley..it surely will get your mind thinking about the world you live in..

[tenseman08]

VAGUE FACT ALERT: Apparently ..because it is illegal to name a pig napoleon in france..they renamed him as ceasar for the french!!... I know right!!

[iceegirl725]

No offense but I thought the book was stupid. That's just my opinion though.

[jazzyfa201]

i saw this movie in history, but it wasnt a cartoon, and it was crazier....

[Caboose123451]

This movie is amazing. It shows the rise of a communist government and the fall. Bravo, Bravo.

[MrKittytoenails]

Kill the pig

Spill the blood

Eat the meat

[talochIV]

@MrKittytoenails  wrong book !

[MrKittytoenails]

@talochIV Yeah, but at least they both have pigs, and flies, but not in that order.

[TheDragonLake]

This has a movie?! Never got to finish the book and had no clue :D

[pianoman6197]

@TheDragonLake The book's ending is different :)

[TheDragonLake]

@deontyk well if they arent impressimable but maybe stick with they book till they are mature enough

[miyabook0091]

We Did This Book For 7th Grade English!!!!!

[vehlajatt22]

and from what i understood, major is lenin (but you could argue that he's marx) and napolean is definitely stalin

but this doesn't apply exclusively to the ussr though right? didn't something similar happen in cuba?

[pivotzeke10]

@vehlajatt22

He's Marx.

[XpEAnUTBuTtERsUckSX]

@pivotzeke10 Who's Lenin then lol.

[vehlajatt22]

we were supposed to read this in grade 10 but some idiot scraped it from the curriculum so i'm doing it for my book report next week :)

[jimmyboyG485]

That's the whole point. It's not supposed to be a light feel-good book, it's supposed to get a message across, and it does that very well.

[toyynewspaper]

[Willyj1230]

[gmj1able]

Just finished reading this book in english for 8th grade. It's a great book. It's so deep...

[Danesland]

This book is not actually anti-communist, it is pro communist. Orwell was a socialist and pro-communist. He disliked Stalin and his oppressive policies, Stalin was Totalitarian which went against his Socialist ways.

[Tomasiba4you]

Sophomore AP English Block, matched beautifully with our unit on Soviet Russia in the Advanced World Cultures part.

[cryptidlover101]

I love the book

[Smartboy8877]

@cryptidlover101

I read the book when I was seventeen. I thought it was great!

[curlzferrero]

Did you know that this is the only animation funded by the CIA? Because it's anti-communist, weird huh?

[100CommonCents]

@curlzferrero haha really. do you have link for the source?

[megaplayah]

@100CommonCents its on wikipedia

[curlzferrero]

@100CommonCents Google it :) I'm afraid it's not in any book, which is a shame, but several different websites (not Wikipedia) confirm it. Apparently the rights of the film were sold by his widow after his death, so I'm guessing he didn't want it to happen whilst he was alive...

[Zeppelinliveon]

@curlzferrero XD Orwell was a Democratic Socialist, which is closer to communist than capitolist by far. They obviously didn't realize that his point was to question your leaders and to not let them become corrupt. Orwell looks on Snowball (Trotsky and Lenin) in a light of honor, but is disgusted with Nepoleon (Stalin) for his abuse of power. They changed alot from the book to this movie...

[Smartboy8877]

@Zeppelinliveon

Has anyone out there seen the "Hotel For Dogs" movie? They did not only change the story line from the book, they bent it into a pretzel! The "First Wives' Club" was another one in which the movie was pretty different from the book.

[brahmbhattbhavna]

high chancellor pj merola

[Get5lapped]

Jones is Czar Nicholas II, right?

[HetaOniLIVE]

@Get5lapped Yes.

[rizloa66]

Old Major is Lenin

Snowball is Trotsky

Squealer is Stalin

[FALCON95ful1]

@rizloa66 isn't Napoleon Stalin??

[rizloa66]

@FALCON95ful1  Yes Napoleon is Stalin, sorry my bad Squealer is the Cheka/NKVD (Felix Dzerzhinsky/Genrikh Yagoda)

[grungedog3]

@rizloa66 No, Napoleon is Stalin. Squealer is Molotov.

[pivotzeke10]

@grungedog3 And Snowball is Trotsky.

[ranDUMBcomment]

I remember some dogs tried to kill Boxer but failed.

And some Animals got killed because Snowball appeared in their dreams..Right ?
