Title: One Movie Line At A Time

Bio: Growing up loving movies, and quoting infamous lines, N. Jordan is about taking life's given competition and embracing it through movies quotes. Each posting reflects a personal understanding on how movies effect people, our lives and our fake realities. If life is a movie, why do we compete in so many ways? Sports, love, relationships, family, business, money, career, kids, etc. Its time to see who is keeping score. Because... life is sometimes an altered reality, just go at it one movie line at a time. My real name is Michelle Keifer. But, I've always wanted to talk about life through a guy's perspective. Just seemed so fitting as I've always been just one of the boys. Go New England Patriots!

#188 "A Bug's Life"... its all about the food chain

Rate: 1 Flag

"Say, how many roaches does it take to screw in a light bulb? Can't tell. Soon as the light goes on, they scatter. "

Slim
A Bug's Life

1998

I adore this film. Tough love, life lessons, greed... ultimate sacrifice. Just when does the food chain elicit such power? Just when does the life in which we lead ask us to start becoming more of a team player and less of a status quo incumbent?

Hunters and gatherers, leaders and followers... are we all of the same species?

A Bug's Life takes us along the journey of Flik and his colony. This film housed the voices of many Hollywood elites. We have, Dave Foley, Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Hayden Panetteire, David Hyde Pierce, Richard Kind, Denis Leary, Bonnie Hunt, and John Ratzenberger leaning the voices of the characters in A Bug's Life. It was a great cast with comedy, and of course animation in drama.

I love how animation gets us back to our days of child hood imagination. I always thought bugs were just bugs. I always knew that bugs were important, just not too sure how important until a bug named Flik gave us a look into the world below the surface, below the dirt, and into a colony circumvented by mother nature.

I can only evoke such thought that bugs are like humans. Sometimes we run in circles, sometimes we fly around the circumstances that control us. Other times, we are bugs adding to the chains in life that present itself with hierarchy and power.

If a bug is just a bug, and a person is just a person...how does the rain, the wind, the seasons and the leaders affect us?

Just how many people does it take to enact a change?

Just how many people does it take to inspire a revolution?

Bugs, humans, nature, and status are all similar. They are ever changing, they are on time frames, they are on someones watch, someones dime, and someones choices. To be a bug is to find ones place is a small set of shoes, to own the hill that houses the colony... well that is just all a part of the stack rankings.

Jordan, I am so glad they are making these movies for the kids again. (adults too, really). I grew up on them, and I think they give kids a humorous way to look at the world, without all the slasher movies and porn. As usual, a great review!

I agree Scanner... light hearted theme embedded films told through a relatable character are great for children; and adults. Sometimes the story just has to be told the right way for someone to understand the value and lessons being told. Appreciate it Scanner!
