Animal Farm (1999) I haven’t read the book by George Orwell prior to the film viewing so I didn’t know anything about the story.

It was very amusing though; and I found it very creative how the author depicted the deeper meaning of the story. In a nutshell, the story

Coppola’s changes in setting and plot structure, however, force
