Film vs Literature

In “Animal Farm,” by George Orwell the book has a lot of various aspects

in consideration of the book. At the end of the novel, the rest of the animals watch

the meeting the pigs have with the humans, and some begin to think they cannot tell

the difference between the animals. The last commandment left is "All animals are

equal, but some are more equal than others" which is a comparison to the first "draft"

of that commandment "All animals are equal". Napoleon's failure is presented in a

different resolution; in the novel, Napoleon's failure of being a successful ruler is

assumed and never questioned nor does anyone oppose his position as ruler. The

only similarity between both the movie and the novel is the separation of the pigs

and the rest of the animals stays clear throughout the whole plot.

The movie adaption, focuses more on the director and producers’ point of

view and opinions. In the segment of the movie that we watched, Clover, nice horse,

at one point cannot tell the difference between the humans and the pigs. The only

commandment left in the film is "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than

others”. When the rest of the animals take account of this last commandment, they

closely watch the meeting, to later on decide when to rebel. In the film Benjamin

reads the commandment and communicates it to the rest of the farm, in the novel

Benjamin does not care or is simply selfish when it comes to the farm's problem.

Napoleon's failure is presented differently in the film. The animals rebel once again

when they realize what Napoleon has done and what his intentions were. Overall,

the differences in the novel and the movie are clear and distinctive.
