They Are Similar Antz

In the movie “Antz” the ants posses very many qualities which
are similar, and
some the same as humans. The first quality that is similar to
humans, is that the
ants all try to work themselves to the top of the ant colony,
this is one quality
that the character Z has more then the others. Another quality
that the ants
have to live by which is they live, and follow instructions by
one controller.
The ants also posses many similar human characteristics. They
also show
similar emotions that us humans show. The ants in the movie also
posses the
same actions, and there is great similarity to their interaction
with each other,
as us humans have. These qualities are all clearly shown
throughout the whole
movie, and are very much similar, and some are exactly the same
as human
qualities. As we all know, a humans dream in general, it to get
to the top of
their society somehow. Humans usually seem to think that what
they do is
worthless, and that they have no choice but to do something that
they don’t
want to. Humans will always try to work as hard as possible
until they are the
best at what they do. This quality is similar to that of Z’s. Z
is the average
working ant. He is depressed about how his life is going and he
feels like he is
not going anywhere. He tries his hardest to not be the average
working ant by
switching places with his soldier ant friend. He does this
because he meets the
princess Bala in a bar one night, and he falls for her very
quickly. He then
realizes that the soldiers have to go for the royal inspection
where the princess
will also be. Z realizes that if he switches places with his
soldier friend, then he
will be able to see the princess Bala again. This is a form of
working himself to
the top because, in my opinion, he fell for the princess as
badly as he did
because she was “the princess of the colony” and if they ever
were a couple
then Z would eventually become the princesses mate. I think that
this is some
what similar to humans ways of trying to work themselves to the
top. In
general, humans try to find a mate who is a successful, and high
to the top. If a
person unsucceeds in finding a successful mate, he or she will
find another
person to fall in love with. If that person turns out to be a
highly successful
person, his or her mate will fall deeper in love because of the
fact that the
person is more successful than they thought. This is similar to
Z and the
princess Bala, because Z met a beautiful ant, and once he found
out that she
was the princess, he fell for her more strongly. I think that
this is a way of
working to the top because you find a highly successful person,
and they will
bring you up with them, just as Z did in the movie, and most
humans attempt
to do. In the movie “Antz”, another aspect which is similar to
the way that
humans live, is by living, and obeying by one controller or the
government. We
humans live by the rules of the government in charge, we follow
rules, we pay
our taxes, and we basically do whatever it is that the
government in charge
wants us to do. In the movie “Antz” every ant that lives is
controlled by one
ant. It is not made very clear in this movie who is the
controller. Mandible
makes all of the rules, and does all of the speeches, but it is
usually the queen
ant that is the leader of the whole ant colony, but in this
movie, it doesn’t really
show the queen making many decisions. I would suspect that
sergeant
Mandible is the leader, or the “government” of the ant colony.
Every ant has
to obey his rules, or else they get into trouble with him, and
they have to face
Mandible’s consequences. The ant colony in this movie is sort of
run like a
socialist society. At birth, the ants are places as either a
worker, or as a
soldier, and they grow up with no choice but to be what they
were names as.
The rich, which is the queen, the princess, and every other ant
that lives up in
the palace don’t really have a choice either, if they are born
in the queen’s
palace, then they stay there. This system is quite similar to a
few countries
which are a socialist society. The poor are poor, the middle
class are middle
class, and the rich are rich, but everyone is told to be equal,
and all have the
same amount of money. They are told to be what they are, and
cannot
change. This is all ruled by one specific leader, or a
government group that
states all of the rules that everyone follows. In the movie
“Antz” the ants are
ruled by one individual, and in the human world, humans are
ruled by one
individual or a group of individuals. In the movie “Antz”, the
ants posses many
characteristics that are very much similar, and some the same as
human
characteristics. At the beginning of the movie, the character Z
is talking to a
psychiatrist about his life, and that he is not at all satisfied
with it. He starts
complaining about his life, how it is so boring, and how there
is no change or
rotation with his life. This is very similar to humans because
many of them are
unhappy with life, and they have too many patterns in their life
which make
them feel like their life is worthless and boring, just like Z
felt in the movie. I
have actually heard people sat that “the whole system makes me
feel
insignificant” which Z said to the psychiatrist at the beginning
of the movie.
Another similar characteristic that is presented in the movie is
the weird
drunken ant in the bar. Z was complaining about his life again
in the bar, and
he is said that he just wants to get away. The weird drunk ant
overhears and
starts blabbing on about insectopia. I think that this is a very
similar
characteristic to humans because wherever we go, there is always
a weird
drunken person that starts talking about something very strange,
you just think
that he doesn’t know what he is talking about, yet he is really
telling you the
truth. There is always one of those kinds of people sitting
beside you in a bar
or a cafe. I thought that this scene in the movie really related
to some
experiences that I have heard about, or that I have experiences
myself. The
drunken bar ant has the same characteristics as a drunken bar
human has, and
I thought that this scene was very clever because the weird
drunk ant is
exactly like a weird drunk person. The emotions that the ants
posses in this
movie, are also quite similar to those of humans. The ants have
emotions like
depression, sadness, love, anger, frustration, and many others.
Z is the
character that possesses most of these emotions, but he mainly
possesses
depression, love, and sadness. He is depressed throughout most
of the movie
because he thinks that his life is worthless, and not worth
living. He meets the
princess Bala about halfway through the movie, and he realizes
that he has
really fallen for her. While filling his mind with thoughts of
the princess, he
forms emotions like sadness and depression because he thinks
that he will
never be able to be with her. This is similar to human emotions
because we
also get sad, and depressed at times about love, or our mates,
or our life, just
as Z did about princess Bala, and about his boring life. The
emotions that the
ants posses in the movie ants are clearly shown, and they are
the same, some
may be more or less extreme than humans actual emotions, but
they are still all
shown throughout the movie, and are all the same as human
emotions. The
Ants in the movie “Antz” show similar actions, in which humans
show as well.
The ants talk, move, and show the same actions as humans do. As
we all
know, the stereotype of the female sex is that females have a
gentler touch
than that of the males touch. Everyone always says that the
female sex has a
more graceful, and softer touch than males, and that males have
a more
harsher way of touch. The ants show this in the movie when the
female ants go
to the palace with their babies. When General Mandible grabs a
baby ant, he
seems to have a more brusque touch with the baby. You can see
this after the
queen has been holding the baby with a gentle touch, and then
Mandible takes
the baby, and he holds it as if he does not know how to, he
holds it with no
grace. This is something that I picked out of the movie, because
it was a
similar action to that of humans. Another signaler action to
humans, is the way
that the ants speak with their hands. Every human speaks with
their hands, it is
just something that we do express something more greatly than
just speaking.
The ants in the movie have similar body language to that of
humans. They
speak with their hands just like us humans do, and they posses
body language
which is something that humans do all of the time. I caught this
similarity in the
movie at first when Z was talking to the psychiatrist. He was
expressing
himself more by using his hands, and by using body language.
This similarity
was shown throughout the entire movie, whenever an ant would
talk to
another, they would use their hands, and show body language.
Another quality
that the ants show that is similar to that of humans, is
interaction with
eachother. The ants speak to eachother exactly the same as
humans speak
with eachother. When Bala and Mandible are trying to make
conversation, it
is the same was as humans try to start a conversation with
eachother. Their
whole conversation is an awkward one because they hardly ever
speak to
eachother, and this conversation was forced on by Bala. This is
how a lot of
awkward human conversations are. If someone wants to make a
conversation
with someone, they say “lets have a conversation”, and from that
point on,
everything is awkward. That is the way Bala and Mandible’s
conversation as
like, and it was just like a human conversation. The ants just
speak to
eachother like they are humans. I would have thought that may
have some of
their own words or phrases, but everything they say to eachother
is the same
as humans. They even use some of the same slang, and some of the
same
expressions as humans use in everyday life. I found that the ant
interaction
between eachother in the movie, was very similar to that of
humans interaction
with eachother. The movie “Antz” was a very human like movie.
The ants
presented very many qualities that us humans have. The possessed
similar
things like interaction, emotions, actions, characteristics,
trying to work to the
top, and being controlled by one individual. Everything, and
every ant in this
movie had human qualities that were clearly shown throughout the
whole
movie. All of the ants in this movie were very human like in
many different
ways, and this made the movie more interesting, and more
realistic for the
audience. Humans seem to think that they don’t have very many
distinctive
qualities. When watching this movie, the ants bring out some of
those qualities
that humans don’t think they have, and the ants clearly show
these.
