Animal Farm Movie Review

The movie starts out with a gloomy barn and starved, hardworking animals. Then Old Major, the pig, plants the idea of a revolt in the animals’ heads, right before he dies. Snowball and Napoleon, the main pigs, have made them the leaders of Animal Farm. The animals then plan their rebellion, and take over Jones’s farm. Everything is going well until the farmers strike back. The animals were injured in the fight, and even some had died; but victorious, the animals slump away.

After the drama of actually acquiring the farm for themselves, Snowball the pig, then has plans to create a windmill, but jealous Napoleon, summons his dogs to then murder Snowball and take credit for the idea of the windmill. After the windmill is built, the farmers take vengeance and blow it up. Boxer, the hardworking horse, injures his foot in efforts to rebuild the broken windmill; but cruel Napoleon sends a glue factory truck to collect him and take him to his death. Benjamin, Boxer’s companion, summons the animals all around the country to help with yet another rebellion against Napoleon, Who has become much like a human and has broken every commandment he put in place. It ends with the victory of the animals over the pigs. My rating was about a four, because it was an old movie and I really like old movies.
