Animal Farm Movie Critique 2

In our class, our second part started of with the executions of the animals. Let me start with the movie itself, I believe that the movie was far too short, it could have explained a lot more than just showing how they went to the very beginning stages after Jones had left. Speaking of Jones, In the book, men from the pub had broken down the windmill, while in the movie, Jones had put some cracker in the windmill causing the windmill to break. This made many of the individuals very sad, especially Boxer and Benjamin. Boxer, however was very strong and always strived to work harder. In the book, Boxer had grown old, and was unable to even walk at some stage. While Boxer rested, Napoleon and Squealer found a way to even trade him off to the Glue Company. Whereas in the movie, a rock fell on top Boxer, he hadn't shown any signs of growing old and had injured his foot. Moving on, When the Pigs walk on their two hind legs, they are celebrating, and are even wearing some human clothes. Whereas, in the book, the pigs walk on their hind legs with whips in their hand as if they are monitoring the individuals. Lastly,when the animals are all fed up, they decide to rebel against the pigs, this however does NOT happen in the book. One last thing that could have changed the movie a lot was showing change in the seven commandments. To conclude, the movie was far too short and if possible could have been modified quite a bit to fit more or less the exact story.
