Orwellian Orwellianism. What will the Hollywood leftist scum think of next?

“First and foremost, we are not making a film about Communism and Stalinism because if Orwell was writing the story today, he would be talking about other relevant topics like globalization and corporate greed,” he explained.

"Serkis" means "clueless a**hat" in what language again?

Stalinists have used 1984, Animal Farm, and Fahrenheit 451 as texts for attacking the Western establishment. This comes as no surprise.

Evil corporations don't live in a vacuum. They are all members of the crony-fascist big-government/big-corporate criminal complex.

Government is the greediest, most corrupt and murderous force on earth. Corporation only exist at the pleasure and service of government.

Recent editions of Animal Farm and 1984 have cover art by proud Communist "revolutionary" Shepard Fairey (the street punk behind the illegally posted HOPE and CHANGE Obama posters).

I was thinking along the same lines Maceman. It seems that Orwell wrote another novel...1984 that dealt with people like Serkis. Interestingly this post is right on the heels of another post about leftist revisionism, propaganda and their relentless efforts to destroy the bedrock culture of our country.

Commuism and Stalinism are at play as much today.

Look at the Reds infested in government. Look at how they lie without morals about any damn thing. They have the spirit of Stalinists.

Just because we aren't in the gulags yet doesn't mean that proud terrorists like Bill Ayers wouldn't still like to see the Weather Underground's projected "25 million" killed (those who resist political re-education).

Serkis says it was his days in the SWP, and his subsequent rejection of the party line, that made him the actor he is today. As a young socialist he was angry about so much: Thatcher, unemployment, racism, you name it. Actually, his anger went back further. As a little boy he was so angry, throwing such tantrums, that his three older sisters had to hold him down while he kicked, punched and raged. Andy Serkis: From Gollum to Ian Dury

Well of course. Why am I not surprised?

RESPONSE to above:

Seems to me the Pigs in Animal Farm were always changing the posted rules or preaching revisionist histories, too.....

Considering the new author’s aversion to corporate greed, I assume the finished product will be uploaded to YouTube as a free offering.

Any conservative film maker could easily drive this dreck into laughable oblivion.

Serkis has got to be kidding. I believe most scholars agree that Orwell's Animal Farm was a parable against the excesses of Communism.

I think it is fair to do a 1984 type movie on capitalism.

Corporatism like Big government is godless, souless, inhuman, unthinking in pursuit of its goals.

Corporatism wants to command and control but at least it will achieve material wealth even if peoples’s soul’s and spirituality are left wanting.

Big government is after the same thing, command and control, but not only leave’s man’s spiritual side wanting, it also leaves man’s material side wanting as well.

I think Capitalism run amok can be criticized on this level.

And do you believe the practicioners in this case even realize what they're doing?

Somehow, I doubt Serkis even understands his role -- useful idiot -- in all this.

Does he understand that he is, in fact, twisting Orwell into a knot in order to promote Communism and Stalinism?

Does he even know what these things are...???
