Is history real? What is written in "Animal Farm"? No one can tell today exactly what happened in Ukraine in the 1930s and 1940s. Although a large amount of information was exposed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of bodies may still be buried under the ice sheet.

Many movies have portrayed the scene of cannibalism, whether it’s "Silent Lamb" or "Hannibal" episodes, but few can be like the few minutes in this movie, without a bit of blood but still people Feel nauseous from the bottom of my heart. At that moment, the child's eyes were not guilty or fear, but a little uneasy, as if he had just eaten a piece of candy. The uneaten bark, the peacefully dead old man, the abandoned baby like a corpse, the director hopes to show the state of millions of people with seemingly extreme examples.

"Four legs good, two legs bad", when many people first read "Animal Farm", they thought that this book only described the former Soviet Union at that time, but after watching this movie, they reopened Orwell in 1947. After writing the preface, he realized that he hated not only the hypocritical utopia, but also Britain, which disappointed him. When Mr. Jones returned to the UK, his feelings were exactly as Orwell described in the preface, “Neither the working class nor the intellectuals in the UK can understand that the Soviet Union today is completely different. On the one hand, it is because they are unwilling to understand. On the one hand, because they are used to the freedom and restraint in public life, totalitarianism is completely incomprehensible to them."

The history is too complicated, and the film can carry so limited, even if it is too long, it is difficult to express clearly, which makes the film come to an abrupt end. Re-reading "Animal Farm" and "1984" may give you a new feeling for movies and books.
