Stills from the Animal Farm movie (1954)
On this occasion, I would like to tell you today about the image of the "pig" in the classic works. In fact, there is also a pig in foreign history that has been on the hot search. As early as 1976, a pink inflatable pig was released over the Battersea power station on the banks of the River Thames in London. This is a pig with a cultural heritage, a tribute to a great thinker and one of his great masterpieces published on August 17, 1945, Animal Farm.
White-collar workers in the BBC headquarters building in London still work in front of the spacious, floor-to-ceiling windows as usual. Suddenly, a huge black shadow blocked the sunlight that was shining on their tents, and at the same time, they felt a chill in their backs. Everyone slowly raised their heads --
But everyone just smiled, and then buried their heads in the office, and they weren't too surprised. Because they know the allusion to this pig, and it is not the first time that they have put it this way. Their grandparents had read famous books about the pig, and their parents had heard albums about the pig.
And the pigs over London are paying tribute to the cover of this album; And the cover of this album is a tribute to the famous book that was born into the hands of a great thinker. Are readers a little dizzy? I'll start from near to far.
First of all, let's talk about the album cover that was homed, and we have to mention the previous release.
On September 25, 2011, at the Battersea Power Plant on the south bank of the Thames River in London, four huge chimneys resembled a fence, "tethering" a pink inflatable pig to the extension of the people's frame.
The power plant was abandoned in 1982, but became a "holy land" because of the pig. Thus reproducing the cover of the 1977 Pink Floyd album Animals.
The title of the album is "Animals", which is a tribute to the great English writer and thinker, "Nineteen Eighty-Four" author George Orwell's other legendary book - "Animal Farm".
Published in 1945, Animal Farm is an allegorical novel with a deep metaphor for the social realities of the Cold War period and exceptionally accurate predictions of history. If you are interested, you can find a comparison with "Nineteen Eighty-Four" to read, which can definitely refresh your "three views".
In 1976, Pink Floyd wanted to make an album based on Animal Farm. The protagonist of the album, of course, is the Major Pig named Napoleon from Animal Farm.
In December of that year, the band made a 40-meter-tall inflatable pig to shoot the album cover pictured above. Chose to fly at the Battersea power plant. It was so large that it was so striking that london was so high that the air over London was like a great enemy, and the airfield was heightened.
At that time, all the pilots in London received a warning from the British national aviation authorities: "Please note that there is a pig in the sky!" There's a pig in the sky!"
By the time the pilots went out to intercept, the Flying Pig had already floated over 18,000 meters above Kent Chatum.
In order to shoot an album cover that pays tribute to the famous book, the band poked a big louzi, and the "London Flying Pig Incident" made headlines in major newspapers.
The producer of "Flying Pig" for Pink Floyd was Fabrek Balloon Company, and the image of "Flying Pig" was designed by Australian artist Jeffrey Shaw. Today, the people of London still let go from time to time, which is perhaps the most chic memorial to the thinkers born in this country. (Zihua)
