It seems like Michael Shannon ripping a tooth out of his head should be the biggest mindfreak of William Friedkin and Tracey Lett's Bug, but it isn't. Peter (Shannon) savagely stabs a man to death, and then convinces Agnes (Ashley Judd) that he killed a robot, not a man. Such hardened denial would already establish that Peter is having a meltdown, but the real revelation here is Agnes' spiral into the abyss of madness. Throughout the film you can see her struggle through mental gymnastics to make Peter's paranoid frenzy seem sane, but the murder she just witnessed breaks her. Previously, she played along to keep herself in company, but now she has bought into Peter's insanity whole-sale.…

Besides providing immense entertainment for both kids and adults alike, certain children’s movies, such as Disney Pixar’s A Bug’s Life, explore deep sociological concepts and structures found in our society. The movie successfully and simultaneously shows both structural functionalism and conflict theory - despite their stark differences - in the interactions between the ants and grasshoppers.

A Bugs Life is about a colony of ants that is separated by most other insects through geographical isolation.…
