Animal Farm
Based on viewing the movie Animal Farm and reading the novel of the same I
have
come to a base of centered agreements. I know that both of these stories
differ
dramatically in many ways and also the themes of each I believe are
totally
unlike one another. George Orwell wrote Animal Farm and I believe
that this man
purposes the same basic ideas as the movie as well as the novel
even though he
didn’t write the screenplay for the movie. The main theme of
the movie is
highly more creative and more decisive. In the beginning the
animals want
nothing to do with humans nor do they try to be anything like
them. They keep
this principle in mind throughout the book but with some
minor cracks along the
way somehow this world without humans seems to be
unbearable. At the end the
animals find that somehow after all that has
happened they too have been
baptized with some of the human characteristics
and act more and more like them
in ways. I believe that the theme of the
movie is that no matter how hard you
try to change someone whether it is
yourself, a fellow companion, or a stranger
they will always bear the
characteristics they had in the beginning. The theme
of the novel is a bit
more pessimistic than the audiovisual film. In the book we
have the same
basic idea of the animals not wanting to be anything like these
humans but in
the end a part of them corrupts causing a chain reaction. I think
the theme
of the novel is if you are trying to change society or the environment
around
you or even someone else you should not forget about the rest of us
and
concentrate what is going to improve what you have control over. But
also
don’t forget about what your opinions are and what you can do to help
not only
yourself but others too. I think both the film and the novel have
the same basic
idea that the author and screenwriter is trying to get across
to the viewers and
readers. I think the point they are trying to get others
to think about is that
corruption happens to everyone. Some people do crazy
things because they let
certain things go to their head without thinking of
the cause and effect it will
take on everyone that has to deal with them.
Power is the most brainwashing
aspect of life. Someone with lots of power may
do a good job at doing what they
do but they do not have the absolute power
to make everyone satisfied. In
conclusion I believe these two different
research projects have totally
different themes but have one main idea that
Orwell is trying to get the readers
and viewers to see and decide for them
selves.
