What I loved most: The Ever Optimistic Humane and Romantic Robot-- Wall E!
What I really hated: Too Sad to be alone... In the whole universe...
Wall E is absolutely fantastic! The starting of the movie shows a lonely robot doing his routine work of crushing and managing rubbish, whole collecting useful things along the way. Wall E is nothing but practical (and romantic as the story grows), collecting useful materials(ring box) and throws away vain articles (ie diamond ring). His lonely existence, with only a roach for company, makes him more humane than the fat, useless, immobile, 'rotting' humans in this film. The fact that Wall E, alone on the whole Earth, wrenches my heart. Who can bear being alone? Who can bear being abandoned? However, Wall E still goes about his life as usual, working during the day and resting at night. He goes back home, switches on TV (old movie tape), and enjoys cataloging his collection of rubbish. His whole life undergoes a big change when Eva arrives. Eva, a typical robot, intent on her programmed objective, ignores Wall E at first. As time goes by, Wall E's efforts to impress Eva begin to have a more lasting effect than they meant to. When Eva goes into a 'coma' (waiting to be picked up by her parent spaceship), Wall E never gives up on her. He still tries to revive her by taking her along to see the things that fascinates him. Most of all, Wall E never leaves her side (almost), keeping her dry with several broken umbrellas, watching sun set, playing romantic music. Wall E is the romantic and determined lover when love does not exist in his era. When Eva is 'collected' by the arriving parent spaceship, Wall E runs after her, and telling the roach to stay on Earth. Wall E and Eva's adventures continue on the foreign spaceship. The gift from Wall E, a tiny plant, conveys a foreign concept of life and home to the humans on the spaceship. The life that the human Captain sees through the plant, and subsequently the programmed screens, are those long gone, idealized happiness of greenery and peace. As with the most of our current ignorant counterparts, the Captain does not see the suffering, the wars, the way his ancestors destroy the Earth that we call home. Eva's transformation from cool and detached to concern and love for Wall E, is the climax of the film. It shows the true nature of existence. The desire to love, to care, to dream, are one of the most important things of being human. How ironic it is for the robots to display these qualities rather than the humans in this film. Wall E is not the typical family rated animated film. Wall E goes beyond entertaining; it brings out the deepest fear and love in us. It makes us reflect our actions and attitudes; are we worse than robots? The robots in this film are constant and dependable, dedicated and responsible. You may think this is the effect of programming; can we, humans, who invent the robots, invent programming, uphold education, morale upbringing and social integrity, be better than them with all our intelligence and flexibility? Some things can not be expressed with words. Use your heart. Have a heart.
