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 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.

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

@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.
