If a movie or show isn’t my cup of tea, I usually blow it off. But this. THIS?! At a time where the story could truly resonate with people, Andy Serkis (yes him) made Orwell into a slapstick animated movie.

I was going to try to make a comment that maybe it was just someone who made a fun movie and someone without a clue named it something they heard of before, then they had the “Based on the book by” and it went down hill from there.

Ugh. This is the worst timeline.
If I’m wrong about this, I will not hesitate to apologize, but apparently no one would buy the film at Cannes and that’s why it’s being carried by (shudder) Angel Films.
It’s bad and the major studios won’t touch it with a 20 foot cattle prod.
In the current climate, there’s also a lot of companies that won’t dare do anything that might oppose the current orange fascist regime, whether out of fear for reprisals or the expectation that is what people want, so putting out an Orwell film could be seen as painting a target on their back.
It’s very 1984 of them to rewrite Animal Farm into a “fight the outsiders” instead of a “fight authoritarians” movie.
