Excellent movie

awful jewish movie

>All my life, I’ve lived and worked in the big city, which, now what I think of it, is kind of a problem, since I always feel uncomfortable around crowds. I mean it. I have this fear of enclosed spaces. Everything makes me feel trapped all the time. You know, I always tell myself there’s gotta be something better out there. But maybe I think too much. I think everything must go back to the fact that I had a very anxious childhood. My mother never had time for me. When you’re the middle child in a family of 5 million, you don’t get any attention. I mean, how is it possible? And I’ve always had these abandonment issues which plague me. My father was basically a drone, like I’ve said. And, you know, the guy flew away when I was just a larva. And... my job. Don’t get me started on, because it really annoys me. I was not cut out to be a worker, I’ll tell you right now. I feel physically inadequate. My whole life, I’ve never been able to lift more than 10 times my own body weight. And, when you get down to it, handling dirt is, you know, ewww, is not my idea of a rewarding career. It’s this whole gung-ho superorganism thing that, you know, I can’t get. I try, but I don’t get it. I mean, you know, what is it? I’m supposed to do everything for the colony? And what about my needs? What about me? I’ve gotta believe there’s someplace out there that’s better than this. Otherwise, I would just curl up in a larval position and weep. The whole system makes me feel... insignificant
>Excellent. You made a real breakthrough
>I have?
>Yes, Z. You are insignificant
>I am?

yeah pretty demoralizing end message too
>all your authority figures are corrupt and evil
>the "infiltrator" (the officer ant that gets a conscious in the end) in the government that backstabs command is the good goy

also they basically made the bad military guy seem evil while proposing things like
>fitness of the colony
>health, strength
>cutting the weak
so ultimately these are healthy things for a society, but the way they present it is in the vein of
>gas chambers
>throw elderly off a cliff
which is not how it would actually manifest

DreamWorks' first two animation movies. Personally, I like Antz a lot more. POE doesn't do it for me.
