Mean Girls Movie Analysis

Ants do not seem to be able to teach you much, besides how to carry crumbs back and forth. However, Arthur's transformation teaches him what communism is. Beginning with no ant having their own individuality, this is portrayed when Arthur came across an ant who was flabbergasted that he was not working. Using protocol, the ant reports him and asks what Arthur’s identification number is, as that is the only way the ants were defined. ‘ “What are you doing?” The boy answered truthfully: “I am doing nothing.” It was baffled by this for seconds, as you would be if Einstein had told you his latest ideas about space. Then it extended the twelve joints of its aerial and spoke past him into the blue ’ (White’s Once and Future King page 124), the text represents the communistic government. As for this ant’s whole life, he knows nothing but to only work, nothing else. Along having the same mind set he was trained to have, that the second he finds something out of place, the ant has to report it back to headquarters. From this experience, Arthur will later on remember that he wants his people to have freedom, individuality, and not to always work. Otherwise, Britain would basically be an ant

The ant colony, which is the movie’s source of struggle and triumph, represents a typical old traditional economy. The ants relied on the fruits of their own labor. In other words, they are farmers like the other third-world countries in our today’s world. However, the time came when they no longer farm for themselves anymore. Since the beginning of the movie, the ants had to spend all of their time grazing for the grasshoppers. This is a classical depiction of a powerful nation

One example of food production in the film is the production of chickens. When interviewing the owners of the chicken farms, they were extremely restricted on what they could say and show. The farmers took out thousands of dollars in loans to be able to start their farms. The farmers do not earn enough to pay off their loans, so they are in a constant debt. On top of this, the farmers are required by the corporations to constantly update their equipment. If they do not update the equipment, then they will lose their contracts. This further traps them in a cycle of debt and dependence on the large corporations. If they do anything to go against the corporations, they can easily lose their contract and be replaced. These chickens are raised in chicken coups where the majority of them never see sunlight. They are given hormones to increase the size of the chicken in less times. Scientist realized that most people prefer

Jones. The animals conformed by working like slaves for Mr. Jones who doesn’t even provide enough food for their strength. After Old Major motivated the animals to revolt, they wished for change and fair treatments, and the only way for that to happen is to get rid of the humans and rule the farm themselves. Old Major had admitted “The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth” (page 7). What Old Major said had triggered the animals and made them consider the idea of a rebellion. The consequences of their conformity was bad treatment, labor, poverty and injustice. After they overthrew all the humans who ruled the farm, which cause more consequences for their nonconformity, the animals felt free and rich. Although, after they have revolted and kicked the humans out, they proved that conformity was no longer apart of their farm, and showed the upsides of

The bees believed that a communist society where they owned their own means of production would be a better life for them, but as Montgomery, the humans lawyer lost the trial he warned Barry that ‘a negative shift in the balance of nature is imminent’. As it turned out, the immense amass of honey put every bee out of a job, including the vitally important Pollen Jocks and Barry’s best friend Adam. Barry now believes he lives in an ideal world where no one has to work for anything ‘I don’t understand why they aren’t happy! We have so much now’ (Benson, Bee Movie 2007). The bees realised that living in the communist society was not the ideology they had wanted, now the bees didn’t need to make honey they had no work to do, this put bee kind in jeopardy as without bees making honey they was no pollination so the flowers were dying

The disney film, A Bug’s Life, is a story of an outcast who must rise up as the hero to fix his mistakes in order to ensure the good of the other ants in his colony. His colony is in danger of starving due to unfair demands, and oppression brought upon them by grasshopper bugs who serve as antagonist to the story, and tyrants over the ants. Flik must leave the safety of ant island to seek bigger bugs to save the colony. Flik is only one ant, in a societal structure that changes due to revolution and resistance, and a change of mind.

The production companies, Paramount Pictures, Broadway Video and SNL studios, all came together to release the infamous teen comedy movie, Mean Girls which premiered on April 30, 2004. This movie was written by Tina Fey and was directed by Mark Waters. It grasped the attention of a wide audience because the issues that the characters encountered are relatable. The rules of high school are applicable to many life situations. This movie sheds light on real sociological issues including bullying, obsessions over physical appearance and peer pressure.

One of the most powerful scenes, to me, was when Violet talks to Nobody. Many of the things that she is going through both at school and at home are commonplace to most girls in middle school and starting puberty. She’s facing the mean girls, but also the boy who’s making racist faces at her. Presumably, this means he’s doing something with his eyes, and this immediately made me think of the jerks in middle school that I remembered also doing this. I really liked this storyline because I feel like, especially in entertainment and media, the issue of race is literally black and white, but there are many other minorities that underrepresented and mistreated. It was interesting watching Violet essentially talk to herself, as represented by Nobody, about how she felt about these things and to realize that while it may not be the best situation, at least she has her brother to rely on.

About thirteen years ago I went to a video store to rent a Mean Girls DVD since there are no movie theaters in Saudi Arabia. I was so excited to get the film, and see if I find other new “cool” titles I would enjoy. A man in his thirties approached me, and rambled with few words, I could not understand at first, then I realized that he wants me to leave the store. Outside he pointed at a sign, the sign read: “women are not allowed inside”. American films were my only source of entertainment, though I did not think that was ok, I wanted to watch Mean Girls so bad, that I decided to stand outside, on the street, waiting for the man to “take my order”. Yes, I never set a foot in that store after that day, but to be honest, I was too cool back then to be hurt by what I have thought that he was “only” stupid grown up man, who for some reason thought it was absolutely normal to ask the only customer he has in the store to leave.

“Each ant is a strange and alien force but, when they cooperate they become a world superpower” is not what most would say when describing something as small as an ant, but a phrase as bold as this captures an audience. Ants: Nature's Secret Power is a 2004 Animal Planet documentary, directed and written by Wolfgang Thaler, on the extraordinary life of ants. Throughout the film we follow a colony of Grass Cutter Ants in both their natural habitat and a laboratory setting, created by experts, each demonstrating the complex society these small insects can create when they work as a single unit. With this level of organization and social skills, the colony is one of the few communities that is as sophisticated as the civilization humans have created on this planet. The purpose intended by the Creators of Ants: Nature’s Secret Power to educate and entertain viewers, I believe, was successfully achieved. The documentary combines credibility, presentation, and support to create an enjoyable environment that promotes viewers to learn and retain new content.

Mean Girls, a popular comedic film, is about high school drama in its highest form – wanting to be popular. It mainly follows a girl named Cady, a new student looking to make and please friends. She agrees to spy on one of her new friends’ enemies, Regina George, to help destroy her life. However, along the way, Cady finds herself becoming more and more like Regina George and the rest of the “plastics” or the mean girls. In this paper, there’s going to be an analysis of this film, because there seems to be a deeper meaning than just the comedic shell. And while this is a favorite movie of many teenage girls because of its relatable humor regarding popularity and girl-on-girl drama, like name calling and backstabbing, it also sheds light on the subject of bullying, including peer-pressure, and how it really can affect someone’s life in a very negative manner.

Before viewing the documentary Hot Girls Wanted in class I was unaware of the differences between amateur porn and mainstream porn. I had also given very little thought to the women behind the pornographic films and why they were chosen for the specific roles being portrayed or why they chose to enter the amateur porn industry to begin with. Hot Girls Wanted depicted the lives of multiple women who chose to enter into the porn industry via a craigslist ad and the effects working in amateur porn had on them.

asked. It came as kind of a shock to him to see women treated so badly by men. It was ironic that the movie was portraying a man being the start of a women’s movement where he fought for respect and appreciation for women in the United States during a time when it was rare. It also showed the beginning of men building alliances with women in order to support their cause and to help them advocate for fair treatment. This movie really highlighted the struggles that women had to face when they were still in a major battle for rights and respect from men. I believe that this was a
