George Orwell - A Life in Pictures m

[litlemadguitarist]

Unfortunatly, ORwellrepresents the "good" revolutionary (Snowball) as Trostky, who would have been worse than Stalin, for example, during the revolution, Trotsky was the one who wanted to adopt various techinics of the french reign of terror after the french bourgeois revolution. Trotsky was a madman.

[RODERICKMOLASAR]

I say! Those Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin lookalikes are top drawer.

[JackStaplesButler]

@RODERICKMOLASAR I think that is actual footage.

@JackStaplesButler:  I was just being funny, there, J.S.B.

[JackStaplesButler]

@RODERICKMOLASAR Ah sorry, I thought you were making a serious point about ignorance in the US, well it stands up regardless. Good film though, shame the actor playing Orwell was disgraced after his arrest.

[jazzmanEE]

animal farm could be just about any corrupt government or political party..mostly it's about man's inabilities of control.the last sentence on the book explains its theme.

[novice8814]

An Orwellian mockumentary in the tradition of "This Is Spinal Tap".

[viktorkel]

Stupid! It's all fake, all of it! It's not a real news reel you idiot dilettant. People who can't handle this kind of stuff shouldn't have access to the internet.

[davidoffon]

@viktorkel Which makes me wonder what handles your bad turn? If you pay monkeys to eat peanuts?

[FA8T]

I love the way that the Americans tried to steel Animal Farm and make it a weapon in the war against the Russians rather than seeing that it is work aimed at all totalatarianism.

[SenorScoop]

@FA8T I love that, and grammamammmammmar.

[JackStaplesButler]

@FA8T Funny also how in America during the Cold War (and to a great extent today) there is little public knowledge of the Nazi 'annihilation war' in the Soviet Union and the 25-30 million Soviet casualties. As evil as Stalin and his regime was, the Nazi 'liberation' of Russia was nothing short of imperialism coupled with genocidal insanity. Maybe mentioning it on American television would allow people to think that Slavic commies were human too. And General Custer maybe deserved to killed.
