Wall-E

Well, I decided to start off big. Here is the official synopsis of this movie:

"What if mankind had to leave Earth, and somebody forgot to turn the last robot off?

"After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL*E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL*E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home).

"Meanwhile, WALL*E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets an adventure into motion. Joining WALL*E on his journey across the universe is a cast of characters including a pet cockroach and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots."

All right, now to analyse.....

Pros

~The characters show great devotion to each other

~Both WALL-E and EVE are sacrificial in the care for each other and the others on the Axiom.

~The people on the Axiom are at first have no care for themselves physically, or each other. They talk to the person next to them with the screens in front of them. But this non-caring is presented as a bad, harmful thing. By the end of the film, the people work together to rebuild the world.

~The humans understand that they are responsible for making the earth an inhabitable place.

Cons

~Gender roles are somewhat reversed.

~WALL-E is sentimental, bumbling, and nervous.

~EVE is confident, take-charge, business like (although she does try to abandon her "directive" to save WALL-E.), and has a major anger problem.

~Humans are somewhat portrayed as having been irresponsible by letting the earth get as bad as it was.

And of the course the most important lessons in the movie:

~Twinkies never get too old to eat.

~Cockroaches never die.

So what are your observations of this movie?
