Jose Sousa What is the purpose behind this video? You say it's to condense the the story into a short video, but why? you'd assume it's to help student studying the book with their notes, my point is they do not go into enough detail, and that sticking rigidly to their "top ten" format does them no favors in trying to explain it. I watched the video hoping to get help with my studies, but having an "abstract" video doesn't help me in the least. Neither, I would argue, was it entertaining.
@josesousa32889 жыл бұрын
I think that the purpose of the video is not help student studying, it's purpose it's to summarize the story for anyone. Try at school to tell the entire story when your teacher asks you for an abstract, you'll be in serious troubles... The purpose of an abstract is to tell parts of the story or the main context. A student must learn that it's impossible to tell a story of 90 min in less than 15 min...

They have become just as corrupt and arrogant as the humans were they replaced and they show that they have completely abandoned decency and the ideals of the revolution.

Timothy House Changing the laws from "All animals are equal" to "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." This can be applied to many things; race, religion, class, etc... America prides itself in standing for equality but it stands for nothing but partisanship, fear-mongering, and brainwashing. Equality does not exist- the government still treats us all differently. The only difference between us and Animal Farm is that in AF they are at least honest about it. In the beginning it was made law that no one was to enter the house of the two-legged let alone sleep there. Then the pigs were caught doing that exact thing later on. Those in power and authority are constantly breaking their own laws- need I point out the most recent and obvious example? He who vows to never invade the privacy of innocent people is caught spying on them? Just to name one of course. Animal Farm is an example of what will happen to us if we let the government bully us- trying to control our very thoughts and beliefs by telling us that all the horrible things we must do and endure is "for the good of this country" Just to scratch the surface.
@timothyhouse162210 жыл бұрын
Ah, the naive assumption you ever had any privacy in the good ol' USA. The only real problem now is that people are aware of it. So, how "unpatriotic" are those people who spoke against the Patriot Act now. What president was it that said you were "with the terrorist" if you didn't like that law? If you think it is the current one, you need to go read up when the law was passed. As far as equality in this country, that has always been one of our greatest myths. There has never been equality. The "We the People..." being referred to were white, land owning males. No one else was considered a "person" when this nation was founded. Well, that is unless you were needing to pad the number of electoral votes, then a slave was considered 3/5 of a person. Even when those former slaves got to vote they were still not "equal" to everyone else and still aren't. But at least males of color were considered more of a person than women of ANY color. How possibly could a woman make any type of meaningful decision without a penis dangling between their legs. Women still aren't trusted to make their own decisions by those on the right or do you really think the argument over abortion really has anything to do with the supposed life of a few developing cells in that woman's uterus? Those are just examples of how unequal this country has always been and we haven't even started to talk about the ever widening socio economic gap. If you aren't rich in this country you just don't matter. So, no, the US has nothing in common with Animal Farm. In Animal Farm the lower and middle classes revolted against the rich "two legs". In the US the beasts of burden are quit content with believing all the crap fed to them. Our country is headed down the very dark corridor of fascism and there won't even be so much of a whimper from the people because they have been so brainwashed into thinking "socialism" is bad.
@KB_Grimweaver10 жыл бұрын
First of all, I never placed the blame completely on Obama's shoulders- I never liked the Patriot Act before when "Dubbya" was president either. It seems like every president has screwed us one way or the other, usually due to good intentions but we've all heard the old saying about that. I DID say there is no such thing as equality- it pisses me off because America 'prides' itself in being so. When we give all rights to one group by taking them away from the other that's not equality. And why is it taking so long for homosexual couples to get married in the USA of all places? Why do we still see generic 'roles' of men and women in commercials? Why is it that only Cheerios has featured a family of various ethnic backgrounds- let alone why did it spark so much outrage and why did we allow those angry bigots to make headline news? Animal Farm, as I've said before, is what America is gradually BECOMING while our leaders continuously make idiotic choices and the majority just take it like a bunch of helpless whores instead of standing up for the ideals that made this place so great. I'm an independent.I have a mind of my own. I don't follow leaders blindly because of the party they're associated with or because they happened to have done 'a few good things'. My concern has always been "What do you plan to do for our country? Are you gonna make things better or worse?" I think both presidents have failed on an epic scale- Dubs throwing us into a war no one wanted and Obama making criminals out of people who exercise their freedom of speech. Socialism doesn't bother me, as long as it doesn't go too far. But God forbid capitalism or theocracy.

Watchmojo... maybe there's something YOU should know about Animal Farm... it's obvious that Napoleon is equal in intelligence, if not less intelligent, than Snowball, just as Stalin was to Trotsky, who had studied and took an infatuation in reading when he was in 2nd grade. If anything Squealer was the intelligent part of Napoleon's reign, just as Vyacheslav Molotov was to Stalin. You also failed to mention Boxers allegorical reference to the proletariat, or Squealers multiple allegorical meaning, of pravda and vyacheslav molotov, all having to do with propaganda. And you didn't even mention pilkington who represented the capitalists. But I did learn something new from this, I had no idea Orwell wanted to be a writer when he was a kid, that's pretty interesting.

Might be just me but I always found some of the visuals and voice acting for the animals in the live action version a little over the top at some points. Particularly that scene where the chickens were upset about giving up their eggs.
@artofthepossible73295 жыл бұрын
An interesting part (it can be called many things) of Animal Farm is that as Animalism gets destroyed more and more the Commandments change until it only becomes "All animal are equal, but some are more equal then others" and throughout it all even those who saw the original words go 'how could we forget it has always been so.'

I like Animal Farm, but I don't know why my high school forced us to read it. It's a great book, and people should read it, but I think Orwell would have been against people being forced against their will to read certain books. To make it worse, we had to read it during the summer, which is when students are supposed to have freedom.

Too bad it was neither intelligent nor educational. If Orwell wanted to write a book about the Soviet Union, he would've wrote a book about the Soviet Union instead of depicting the figures of a state in revolution in an abstract and universal way. Saying historic figure a) is animal b) is fucking retarded. The novel is meant to make you think about who these animals are right here and right now. What happens in the novel happened before in France and Cuba and it is happening right now in every wealthy country.

@KhamStronk8 жыл бұрын
Casey J Why would someone who says this, write a work depicting socialism as a negative thing? His intention was to show how shit totalitarian governments are and how revolutions tend to revolve back to the beginning, because the revolutions leaders tend to misuse their newfound powers no matter what kind of state they errect on the ashes of the old one.
