Animal Farm Movie Critique

There was a big difference in the movie and the book ANIMAL FARM!

Some of these differences are that in the movie Old Major is shot where in the book he wasn’t. The song BEASTS OF ENGLAND that was the main song in the book was not so in the movie. The movie changed the song to something else. My next reason is quite important because there was no Clover. Clover is important in the book and not having her in the book is a major issue. Jessie took the role of Clover and so the movie did have a figure that would be supportive of the other animals. When the humans came to fight the animals, they didn’t all have guns. In the movie, all the humans had guns where in the book only three were present. In the movie, Mollie leaves later than in the book. Towards the end, the book ends with Napoleon giving a speech but in the movie new farm owners turn up. Overall, I would think that the book was more interesting where the movie did a great job exaggerating the animal’s living conditions.

Animal Farm Post

I would say that my character is kind of like Napoleon only for his good qualities. Napoleon is a leader and one who would do anything to have his idea heard. Napoleon sacrifices many things to make the other animals happy. He would also work harder for them (Orwell pp.37). Napoleon is very trustworthy and everyone has hope in him. They also say that whatever Napoleon does is right (Orwell pp 37). The animals believe that Napoleon is a great leader (Orwell pp 55). These are some reasons why I believe i am like Napoleon.

Militaries in countries

I come from mainly two backgrounds. One is British and the other is Indian. In England, it is not necessary for one to join the army. India also doesn't enforce any such law. I believe that it is an honor to serve the country. India has a very large army and if everyone serves for two years each, India would have the largest and the biggest army in the world. Britain doesn't have a large army although if they have a law of serving in the military after college , it would also have a very good army. All in all it would be good if these kind of laws were enforced.
