14 years to completely miss the assignment: Hollywood's Animal Farm strawman speedrun
HOLLYWOOD TAKES ORWELL'S ANTI-COMMUNIST MASTERPIECE - MAKES IT ANTI-CAPITALIST AND WOKE INSTEAD
Andy Serkis spent 14 years adapting Animal Farm.
Added a billionaire villain not in the book. Made her the main threat.
Napoleon - Orwell's Stalin stand-in - gets downgraded to supporting antagonist voiced by Seth Rogen.
The new villain drives a Cybertruck knockoff. Producers claim resemblance to Elon is "unintentional." Sure.
Then Serkis rewrote the ending. Orwell's original: pigs become indistinguishable from humans, revolution betrayed, totalitarianism wins.
His version: animals overthrow pigs, plan "brighter future."
Director's explanation: "We wanted some hope."
Here's the problem: Animal Farm wasn't about capitalism.
Orwell wrote it as a direct allegory for Soviet Russia - how revolutionary ideals get corrupted by power-hungry authoritarians.
The pigs ARE the communists. That's the entire point.
Hollywood just inverted the message. Took a socialist's warning about socialism becoming tyranny and turned it into "corporations bad."
Added an outside capitalist villain so the animals' internal corruption - the actual story - becomes secondary...
Orwell spent his life warning about totalitarianism from the left.
Now Seth Rogen voices Napoleon like it's a buddy comedy while the real villain is tech billionaires.
14 years to completely miss the assignment. F.
