SECOND Animal Farm Review!

So, I just finished the Animal Farm movie (the cartoon one). There are a lot of similar stuff in the movie (of course... since it an adaptation... but yeah), but there were also some parts that were quite very different. One of the biggest difference there is between the movie and the book is the death of Old Major. In the movie, the pig practically dies singing (or croaking, should I say). He just suddenly fell off whatever it was that he was standing on, then died, just like that. In the book, however, there was a short time between when he gave the speech and when he died. However, in both the movie and the book, he died of the same way and of the same cause (too old). The animals in the movie also don't just talk by themselves like in the book, instead, there was a narrator. Another difference between the two is the role Mollie the Horse plays. In the movie, Mollie was not portrayed and is practically non-existent. In the book, however, she played a huge role and had all those detailed characteristics described in the book. It was quite strange to me the small role Mollie had in the movie. The ending of the movie was also very different from the ending of the book. Even though in both pieces, the animals looks through the window of the house to see the pigs starting to resemble the humans, the animals rebel against the pigs in the movies instead of just watching in awe like in the book. Also, in the end of the book, Mr. Pilkington comes to Animal Farm for a dinner feast but in the movie only the pigs came to celebrate and learn how to manage a farm like Napoleon.

Reflection On the Animal Farm Movie

So, we watched the movie of Animal Farm last Thursday. The movie was very outdated, since it was filmed not long after World War II. It was quite a shock to me that the movie quality was so great. The movie was colorful and with great and smooth animations. It was definitely a pleasant surprise to me since I was expecting something more old and choppy and black and white too. Napoleon and Snowball and all the other pigs looked really mean and scary, which was sort of unexpected to me, since I thought Snowball would look a bit nicer and not quite as mean. Mr. Jones was also extremely creepy in this movie. When his was was finally shown to us, he was shown with bags under his eyes and drunk as can be. I didn't imagine Mr. Jones to be that bad, so the movie's version of Mr. Jones was quite scary to me. However, the movie was very entertaining and I would definitely like to continue watching it!

The Time Machine: My Prediction

I predict that this story, The Time Machine, is going to be about a time machine (obviously, since it's in the title) that is most likely to cause some kind of trouble. I think the main character would maybe be the inventor of the Time Machine, and it may be about how he invented it. That would probably only be the beginning or the first half or the book. After inventing it, of course he has to try it out. Maybe the main character is the victim of the experiment testing the time machine, and he gets stuck back in time because of some kind of malfunction (which would be quite likely to happen since it's still a new machine and he's an experiment of the machine). Maybe he'll accidentally go back too far in time and get stuck in the World War and must fight his way back. Maybe he can be in the Holocaust and then change the result of the Holocaust and become the hero to all Jews. I'm hoping that this story would have some romantic elements in it (I'm a girl after all), and he'll meet the girl of his dreams and try to bring her back to his time, which would result in her not accustomed to the future and dying. Then he would go back in time and say goodbye or something (aw, that's really sweet). However, judging the cover of the book, I bet there wouldn't be any romance in it. Sad.
