Review Wall-E Movie

Wall-E is a movie produced by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Andrew Stanton. The story tells us around robot, and the main character is Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class, or in short we can call it Wall-E. He goes around doing his job, as he has for the past 700 years, compacting trash into cubes and stacking them into immense towers. On the side, he collects remnants of humanity to keep for his own amusement. Zippo lighters, Rubik's Cubes, Christmas lights: these are what Wall-E surrounds himself with. Because he is so alone (except for a little cockroach), these dirty, abandoned objects are his companions.

The movie starts on a future earth where there are no humans. As far as the eyes can see, there is garbage – fields of junk stuff, skyscrapers made of garbage blocks and towers of trash. Everywhere there are signs of the human civilization that no longer exists on the dead planet which evidently is unfit to sustain life anymore. There is a strong evidence for it, the rivers are polluted due to industrial wastes, and the water’s color has been changed into a turbid. Actually, where the human life is?

Human already leave earth and living in an enormous spaceship. It is an effort from human to make sure they can still alive despite their earth is not possible to live on. If we pay attention to see the human life in the spaceship, we will see that there is much more robot than human. It calls my memory back, when I realized that there is a same movie like Wall-E, another doraemon movie “Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom.” Both of Wall-E and Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom  are concerns about the increasing use of robots and their role in society.

The paradox here is that the human characters feel less interesting and complex than the robot. I want to critically think about this matter. As shown on video, Everything have replaced by robot, the human task has been taken over by robot. they empowering robots to do all part of activities which human actually do.

What is the consequence here ?

Human becomes fat more and more. It is because they can’t run anymore so the machine helps just for the sake of keeping them to still move. Just standing up in your seat, the machines will do whatever you want. They become lazy. This is the point, “Humans are too dependent on the robot”. Hey human, we must aware and don’t wanna be a slave of robot. We create it. We invent it, but you worship them as if they were GOD.

I realize that technology makes our life better. And they can make everything easier and faster. I think there is no human that don’t wanna use the technology as their part. Therefore, use the technology wisely to solve the problem.

Okay, I want to appreciate to Pixar Animation Studio, which was produced Wall-E movie. I think it wants to deliver a message using an animation movie, and there is a good morale hidden shown on movie. Thumbs up for you, Pixar Animation Studio.
