"We keep making the same mistakes. There are oppressive regimes globally. There are bosses in companies that maltreat their workers globally. We're living in such a difficult time."
"I think we've remained loyal to that. [Orwell] was writing with children in mind. I feel that he would have wanted the controversy surrounding the movie, which is about authoritarianism and our response to that."
Andy Serkis' adaptation of Animal Farm introduces a new ending where the remaining good characters rise against their oppressors. This choice reflects a desire to instill hope in a world perceived as bleak. Serkis emphasizes the importance of questioning authority and acknowledges the historical context of oppression. He defends the decision to tone down violence for a younger audience, suggesting that Orwell intended his work for children. The film features notable voices and is set to release on May 1st.
