This movie is going to suck so much ass lol
“I wanted to tell a story about fascism”
Ok so then adapt Orwell’s life, not this drivel, it’ll have more impact
You’d think they would make a biopic about Orwell, but that would mean painting the POUM and the Spanish Republicans in a positive light. So instead it’s made up stories about made up people doing made up shit so liberals can inform their worldview.
Communism doesn’t work because of a story i made up. Checkmate, everybody
George Orwell
Ayn Rand
Serkis Act :kelly:
I’d love to adapt 1984 extremely faithfully but secretly adhering to that theory that 1984 has a biased narrator, and that Oceania is actually a quite effective and benevolent socialist state especially when given the context of a recent devastating nuclear war and an ongoing three way cold-war that Oceania cannot win outright. Show Winston as the petty misogynist with SA fantasies he is in the book. Show the peaceful and comfortable living conditions of the proletariat. Make the fanatical party members cool and given them amazing uniforms like a reverse empire from Star Wars, that tricks nerds into thinking state socialism is cool.
“Fascism is when the government does stuff. The government doing stuff is communism. So fascism is communism. I am very intelligent.”
- Andy Serkis, probably
I want to just point out how far America has fallen. I’m American and I’m embarrassed. Back in the day, the CIA, I read, were the first people to finance a version of Animal Farm, and now you think about our government, and they wouldn’t in a million years want people thinking like this. It’s crazy.
