Wall-E




Wall-E is a really interesting story talking about the future of the world in the next 800 years. Wall-E is the name of the character of trash compactor robot that live with that mission on planet earth after it got polluted by human (Green Gas, CO2 emission, etc). I think the main audience of this movie are teenagers and young kids who understand the problems that earth face today and willing to help and prevent it from what happening in the movie.

People have to live on the Axiom ship in the galaxy and avoiding come back and live on earth since it is to dangerous to do so. However, after 700 hundred years, they found out that there life has finally came back to earth and it is time to go back home for people who live on the Axiom.

To me, the way they designed the character of Wall-E and the people who live on Axiom is really interesting. Because Wall-E has been living on earth for so long, he became more emotional, more human being (well, by watching those videos that he found, he knows how to dance, understand the concept of human relationship) compare to those people who live on the Axiom who are unable to walk, and avoiding communication face to face. They rely to whole lives on technology. 

Compare Wall-E to the other robots who live on the Axiom, Wall-E is smart enough to survive on itself and who is a really eco-friendly robot who is trying to save planet earth by compact trash and bring back home something that he finds it interesting and might be able to use according to the concept "Reuse, Reduce and Recycle". His home has a full collection of light bulb, Christmas light, rubic cube, old cassettes and many parts of its own kinds which he can use to repair himself. Not only that but Wall-E is the type of robot that go green as his life is based on the build in solar panel while other robots are based on the power from their charge station.

The movie seems to show the contrast between Nature Vs. Technology. For example, Eve was immediately deactivated right after she capture the plant in the boot. Another example would be the Axiom was build to move automatically to earth if Eve found life and come back to the Axiom with positive result. 

Another interesting concept would be the director of the film designs the whole setting of the movie by avoiding the use of GREEN color until the plant was discover and immediately every sign has shown on the Axiom with green color.

The author of the Wall-E movie has shown significant number of ideas to the audience on how important for them to preserve and protect the environment on planet earth. It is interesting to note that the movie begins with the piles of compact cube trash and end with people of the Axiom planting the little plant in the boot. In the movie credit, the author shows that people have started to live with the basic lives again but this time they started with both the nature and technology (Robots). People cannot avoid living on earth therefore they have to take care of it as the captain of the Axiom said to the Auto Control Bot, "I don't want to survive, I want to live (On Planet Earth)".
