A wonderful film. However, I totally agree with the comments surrounding the gratuitous violence done to the farm animals. I kept hoping that there would be a disclaimer "No animals were hurt in the filming of this movie." I felt terrible. Animals died on-screen, so that I could see a movie? I highly recommend cutting those scenes out. As other people have mentioned, the deaths could have been simulated. I bought the DVD and enjoyed all the extras that were provided, Director interview, out-takes, alternate ending, etc, but because of the callous and unnecessary slaughter of the animals, I would not recommend this film to anyone without first warning them of these murderous scenes. How sad that not one of the cast or crew cared about animal rights.
