《动物庄园》是英国作家乔治.奥威尔于1944年完成。这本有着童话的外表，却与现实世界密切相关的薄薄小书出版后，令奥威尔声名鹊起，她和另一部反乌托邦作品《一九八四》，奠定了奥威尔成为20世纪最杰出的作家之一。统治者们都不相信所谓的“理想国”，“乌托邦式”的美梦注定不会实现。本书的讽刺对象是苏联，那个时候，苏联作为超级大国，其社会主义建设初显成效，但_以其独裁的统治方式，与一群小弟们，打着民主、进步的口号，却大肆推行_，推行独裁。以这样的方式下追逐的社会主义理想只能越走越远，“乌托邦式”的理想国终会破灭——苏联解体便是最终的结局。
这让我们想起了恶龙的故事，当一个年轻人杀死了恶龙之后，他就变成了恶龙本身，继续残害生灵。暴力革命的破坏力是巨大的，无论革命的目的多么崇高、多么诱人，都不应该采用革命的方式去实现，也永远不可能通过革命的方式实现。那些投机分子、阴谋家和道德沦丧的人是最喜欢革命的，就像《芙蓉镇》里的职业革命家王秋赦，变成了疯子，他还敲着破锣，终日嘶哑着嗓子叫嚷:＂运动了，运动了......＂，权力是会让人上瘾的。
人类社会的进步需要不断地改良，吸收经验、杜绝错误，经过一代代人的努力来提高社会的文明程度。简单粗暴的革命，就如《动物庄园》的宿命结局。苏联的社会革命实验已经失败，再实验N次结局也会是这样的，就如徒劳的屠恶龙游戏。有多少的罪恶，都是以爱的名义施行；太多的忽悠，都是以崇高理想来引诱。保持清醒，坚定前行！
动物庄园讲了一个很简单的故事：一群生活在农庄的动物因为不堪人类主人的压迫，在两头猪的带领下反抗，赶走了农场主，农场改名“动物庄园”，所有动物一律平等。
然而，两只领导了革命的猪开始互相清理，打败其中一方后，获胜的猪拥有了空前的权力，成为新的特权阶级；动物们为之奋斗的理想：“所有动物一律平等”被修正为““有的动物较之其他动物更为平等”，动物们又恢复到从前的悲惨状况，仿佛一切都没有改变一样。
这是一本阅读过程中一直让人别扭的书，一则政治寓言，却又准确的预言了政治.它写于1944年，那时候二战还未结束，而之后发生的事情我们都再熟悉不过。“动物们”为理想奋斗，“动物们”又回到以前的悲惨的生活，“动物们”又为理想奋斗......
所有革命最初的理想都是伟大且正义的，是丑陋的人性让历史的悲剧一次次上演。芸芸众生，被夹裹在历史的浪潮中，或快乐、忧伤、或痛苦、迷茫。动物庄园里那些鲜活的动物形象，从我们自己的历史回溯，几乎可以一对一的找出范例对号入座。在权力的侵蚀下，他们一个个失去了他们原来的样子。普通的动物们，从开始的疑惑到最后彻底忘掉最初的理想，依然天真的以为他们过上了比以前更幸福的生活，这是一种宿命般的无可奈何的悲哀。
回顾我们文明几千年的历史更替，再看西方所谓的更好的制度，一路走下来，我们几乎还是在重复着相同的东西。一代代的人替换着，人性却从来不曾改变。我们当前所处的时代，或许是历史车轮前进中较为平坦的旅途，但仔细观察，动物庄园曾经有过的那些鲜活的人物形象，动物庄园曾经上演过的那些惨痛现实，依然不时的出现在我们的视野中，不断地提醒着我们，人类作为地球的主宰，处在食物链顶端，依然还是逃不过动物两字。
看这本书也不能就此对人性彻底失望，我觉得在越来越文明的当下，知识会破除我们所有迷茫与恐惧，会指导我们做出更多真正自由的选择，不给极权主义任何重来的机会。我突然想起一个漫画里常常被提及的句子：“人类终将迎来一个互相理解的时代”，一个乌托邦式的理想，也是最美好的对生活的想象了吧。
_Animal farm_ is a British writer George Orwells works, the content of this book is very interesting, but seemingly camouflage in the fairy tale story, mapping connotation is actually very profound and thought-provoking, so we need to carefully taste.
The story is very simple, tells the story of a farm animal from human host oppression, resistance in the two pigs named Snowball and Napoleon led off farm animals, to achieve a _in power_ desire. But soon the revolutionary pigs broke up, and one of the leaders of the snowball was declared by Napoleon as the enemy of the revolution. Napoleon, the leader of the pig, has gained more and more power to become the new privileged class. The slight discontent of the animals would lead to bloody cleansing, and Napoleon would eventually become a farmer like exploiter, and the animals would return to their former misery.
The animals in the farm symbolize different roles and classes. A male horse boxer but diligent and capable of ignorance, although feel contradictory thoughts and behaviors of pigs, but could not clear, the more hard work to his paralysis, symbolizes the desire for equality with the grass-roots democracy; herd is the ignorance of the masses, blindly deny everything for Napoleon, Napoleon said is correct; the donkey Benjamin represents the thinking of intellectuals, it is still oppressed that farm, just exploiters into Napoleon from farmers, the doings of Napoleon skeptical wise but themselves, so life is still low-key, cautious. And hens, cats, and so on. They all represent different classes.
In this revolution, farm animals are poor. They are like people on the bottom of society. They dont have lofty ideals or ambitions to create a better future. They just want to improve their lives. Pigs tell animals to build windmills to improve their lives, but in the end they cant even live up to their standard of living. The reason is that the fruits of labour are more exploited, because animals think that what they do is for themselves. The boxer shouted, _Ill work harder._ I threw myself into my labor until I ran out of my life and sold it to the slaughterhouse. The exploitation of animals by animals is more deceptive than the exploitation of animals, deception undermines the resistance of animals, and the prohibition of singing the song of the livestock of England is also aimed at eliminating the resistance of animals. Without resistance, authoritarian rule becomes easy and long. The so-called _freedom_ has become a thorough joke, they are only in the plight of silent struggle. As Zhang Yanghao - _shanpoyang - Tongguan huaigu_ said: _Xing, people suffering; death, suffering people._
Orwell tells people with an allegory: _a post revolutionary regime, if there is no democratic supervision, there is no rule of law, must be alienated, it must go to his opposite._. The revolution always begins with anti despotism, as the old and young school says when it comes to animals: _the root of all evil lies in the absolute rule of man.__. In fact, democracy requires no high quality, no need for knowledge, just a sense of responsibility. Only the people are really aware that they need it, and true democracy will come true.
This movie mainly says that Judy the Rabbit dreams of being a policeman, so it comes to the police station in Zootown. At first it was a traffic policeman. Judy found a fox as his assistant and solved a big case. A few days later, the rabbit, Judy and the fox became the police to solve the case, and they were caught by Judy. The prisoners turned out to be Deputy Mayor Lamb and Mayor Lion.
This movie gave me a huge feeling. The fox tricked Judy with its clever brain. Judy saw that the fox had a clever brain, so he took it to solve the case together, and finally solved the case. This shows that bad people can also become good people. Judy is an ideal rabbit. I am still a person who has no dreams. This movie has deeply inspired me. I am determined that I will also be like Judy and be an ideal person.
看似短小的篇幅无比充实，几乎找不到半点多余描写。文中的每个动物角色都有各自的象征和指代，而统治者经常玩弄的伎俩把戏也几乎丝毫不漏地夸张呈现。作品的直接讽刺对象是_时代的苏联，但可以说其涵盖范围远不止此，几乎人类历史上所有_的更迭演替都是用的这些套路。时至今日，当年的苏联已经烟消云散，可这本书却依旧广为流传，这便是其不朽艺术价值的明证。
读完全书，结局令人唏嘘不已。书中着笔最多的角色，老马“拳击手”的结局更令人哀伤，它可说是广大无产阶级革命群众的象征，他们是革命的动力和中坚，怀着热忱的信念投入革命，可却因自身认识水平的有限而始终处于被欺骗，被愚弄，被利用，被抛弃甚至被出卖的境地。让人不禁要问，究竟怎样才能不让这样的悲剧重复上演？
我认为每次分析各种现实问题，都要重新审视、发展相关的形而上概念。只有这样才能做到实事求是。事实本身比形而上的概念游戏更重要，人类历史上有大量错误就是因为侧重于后者而发生。
有个设定与史实有不容忽视的出入。在动物庄园中，动物赶跑人类后，人类杀回来两次。双方两次都付出很少，且伤亡很少。人类要重新占领这个庄园，是相当容易的。他们第二次占领就表明了这一点。因此，书中动物庄园能够存在那么久，前提是人类不来侵占。而现实哪有这么童话？苏联自建国后，一直不得不在军事上付出相当大的投入。即便是后来美苏冷战，也是丘吉尔老狐狸点燃导火索，让美苏双方无和平共处的可能。所以，历史上苏联对农民的剥削，其重要的一个合理性在于需要发展国家军事实力以保障国家安全，而国家安全是人民生活幸福的前提。国家安全了人民不一定幸福，但国家被侵略，人民必定水生火热。而动物庄园把猪对其他动物的剥削当中，为了保障庄园安全这个极其重要的合理性严重削弱了，而将几乎所有剥削所得用于自身享受。
从政治角度看，此书将现实政治做了极致的简化。如若有人拿此书的情节与现实事件进行类比，并以此为论据进行论证，就必须注意这样的论据并非事实。中国人民改开前后的工作时长变化如何？吃饭情况变化如何？住房情况如何？穿衣情况如何？生活方式有何变化？政府每年为提高广大人民的生活水平付出了多少财政？教育情况如何？文化环境如何？这样的问题才是事实本身，是最重要的着眼点。
说了那么多否定本书的话，那这本书有没有什么值得肯定的呢？有。本书的价值在两个方面。政治方面，以其独特的叙事，将不少丑恶面形象地展现出来。另一方面，抛开政治寓意来看，故事本身也挺有意思。
政治寓意方面，最应该引起注意的是拿破仑这头猪修改历史的方法。整个过程循序渐进以致最终黑白颠倒。在动物庄园里修改历史只需要短短几年的时间，这与动物的寿命短也有关系。现实中人们不会被“是你们记忆出现偏差”这样的理由糊弄过去，但拿破仑使用的修改实体文献的方式就影响深远了。写在墙上的“动物主义七诫”，为了迎合统治者需要而被肆意修改。现实世界，我们接触到的第一手历史资料，有几分真假呢？
