George Orwell's prognostications about the future of authoritarianism have proven consistently accurate. They have only been limited by his inability to foresee the creation of certain technologies which make the future look even more bleak. The reason his books, like 1984 and Animal Farm, are considered classics of literature is because they are timeless.
Their warnings and messages still apply today and will probably apply centuries from now.
Animal Farm, first published in 1945, is a tale specifically written as an allegory for the Bolshevik Revolution and the rise of Soviet Communism. Despite the characters being talking animals, the themes are dark and disturbing. It is a story about the naivety of the "underclass", the exploitation of the "have-nots" by communists seeking to use gullible people as weapons against their "imperialist" and capitalist enemies.
It is a grotesque tragedy composed like a children's novel, which makes it all the more effective. It destroys the notion of "equity" and exposes the truth: There is no such thing as a socialist Utopia, there can only ever be socialist dystopia. And to get it, leftists are happy to sacrifice you and everything you love. Not only that, but they expect you to applaud them for it.
The message is made iconic in the book's famous phrase:"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others..."
This is the epitome of woke ideology and how progressives behave today. It's no surprise that Hollywood is incapable of telling this story properly. In order to do that, they would have to put their own warped beliefs under a microscope, and that's simply not going to happen.
The new animated adaptation of Animal Farm is being billed as a kid-friendly foray into concepts of "authoritarianism"; but it perverts Orwell's message about communism and demonizes capitalism instead.
Audiences across the board are not happy. The movie is distributed by Angel Studios, which bills itself as a Christian and conservative leaning company. However, the makers of the film (director Andy Serkis and The Imaginarium Studios) are entirely left wing. Given the people involved, Angel Studios should have know what kind of disaster they would have on their hands.
Andy Serkis is a former member of the Socialist Workers Party, a Troskyist Group in England in the 1990s. Though he is no longer involved, he stillconsiders himself left wing, and his exit from political provocation was largely because of conflicts with his acting career. Enlisting a hardcore socialist to direct Animal Farm feels like a deliberate middle finger to conservatives who see the story as a cautionary battle cry against leftist movements.
The film was even released on May Day (International Workers Day), which is a communist holiday.
