Well - I tried to give it my best advice - but - secretly - I was rooting for the ants - they seem to be the only ones who knew what they were doing. This movie was first viewed in the 1950's - we were still in grade school. My classmates seem to like it - but - I took a little more critical look at it - because - anyone willing to take on all those ants has got to be crazy - and - just for the record - most people encountering these ants, actually welcome them - because - these ants "clean out" the villages of bugs, rats, vermin, roaches, residue etc. So - why they stood to fight was a modern mystery to me. So - by driving away the ants - our "hero" Heston managed to keep all the bugs & rats to himself. The most RIDICULOUS line came when he says he "gave something back" to the jungle - like what - like throwing people out of work. Dismantling his plantation - now - how are the people going to make a living - not much of a living - but, at least the plantation kept them employed. So - he "gave back" unemployment - totally ridiculous story line - they could have done much better - I could have done much better. ml2348@att.com
