Animal Farm Movie And Book Comparison Essay

Improved Essays
Animalism is what we learn about in the book and movie Animal Farm. The animal revolted against the humans and took charge. They traded with humans, built a windmill, and much more. Although there are similarities between the book Animal Farm and the movie there are different between Boxer, Snowball, the theme, and Mr. Jones.

In the book Boxer was the hard worker. He had two mottos “Napoleon’s always right “ and “ I will work harder”. In the book when he went to the knacker it seemed more of a sudden thing like he was just gone in the morning and never said Goodbye to the other animal. Boxer also was smarter in the book.

In the book Mr. Jones was a good honest man with a bit of a drinking problem. He like his alcohol, but that's not a sin if used in moderation. But, He took it too far. Especially when he didn’t feed the animals on the night that started the revolution. If he feed the animals that night he probably still had the farm. In the book the readers pictured him as a kind looking, smart guy, and had manners. ( Orwell n.p.)

The movie depicted him as a lazy, rude man, cheater, and did care about the animals. He was drunk all the time. He went out and partied instead of taking care of the animals and left the work of the farm to his wife. He was also really close to losing the farm too. He had debt collectors coming to his door threatening to take the farm because of all the money he owed them. When he couldn't afford to pay off his collectors he threw a party to get together with all the other local farmer. Where he got drunk and cheated on his wife with his debt collectors wife. He came back later in the movie to blow up the windmill that the animals worked so hard on. When he blew up the windmill he also totaled his car because a piece of the windmill fell on his car. His totaled car also got incorporated into the new windmill. (Animal

    For decades, popular novels have been published and years later followed with a film. Although the movie tends to portray imagery, the course of events in the book tend to contrast to those of the film. This became abundantly clear when I read the book and watched the movie, The Natural. In both the novel and the film, we learn about the life of a baseball player named Roy Hobbs, who was born with a talent and was given the ability to pursue his goal of life. Although his mindset was determined to break all the records in the game, many obstacles stood in his path ultimately skewing his priorities and driving him towards a path only ending with failure.…

    There are two types of people in this world; watchers and readers. Some people prefer using their own imagination for entertainment, others prefer to visually entertainment. I prefer visual entertainment, and I believe this is the best type. A great example is "Of Mice and Men". Gary Sinise's 1993 "Of Mice and Men" is better than John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men".…

I see Animal Farm as a utopia because all the animals are equal and everyone is able to get along except for Napoleon, who manipulates our comrades to believe his sayings.…
