Don't care what the others say, this movie is great.
Great adaptation of Orwell's book, which I actually read before watching this.
The way the animals represent communists is an interesting message to viewers.
For a start, Napoleon is a representation of Stalin, and a good one too. Taking over the farm, giving all the profits to himself, All good.
His opponent, Snowball, is Trotsky. More intelligent that Napoleon, but weaker on the muscle.
Boxer represents the communist worker, who believes in the party, but ultimately gets stabbed in the back by them.
All the animals represent something or someone, and all of them are good. Great story and loved the bits where I went I kNoW tHaT!
This movie, and especially the book, are classics that deserve better reviews and more attention.
