WALL-EFeb 21, 2010
The movie is great, but the DVD case is a flimsy paper case instead of an actual jewel case. Disappointed in the packaging.

WALL-E: A Simple Way to Present Deep ThoughtFeb 14, 2010
WALL-E depicts the earth and human after 700 years in a creative perspective, when the earth becomes a huge trash bin and human beings lose their basic biological ability on a spaceship. The story follows a robot named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in the future. He eventually falls in love with another robot named EVE, and follows her into outer space on an adventure that changes the destiny of both his kind and humanity. WALL-E distorts people's stereotype of animated films, which are known as childish and peripheral without profound thought. Although WALL-E has some humorous and pleasant plots to entertain the audience, it is an influential and inspiring film because it provokes deep thinking by challenging the benefit of technology, impresses the audience by true love between WALL-E and Eve, and sends a hope by finding a balance between people and machines
WALL-E works like a tale story to make people be conscious of some negative influence of advanced technology when enjoying the interesting love story between two robots. One question would catch people's mind after they watch the film, what is the true benefit of technology? In the film, people sit on automatic chairs and are extremely obese. Since people don't have enough physical exercises, pear-like human even lose their ability to walk and work normally. In the film, human is no longer a dominant factor to forward the plot, but an ironic component used by the director to invoke the audience's thought.
The film also encourages the audiences to imagine a world filled with trash, and we, human beings, have no place to live. When the camera zooms into the details of the earth, people soon find out that the high buildings on earth are actually countless piles of trash. The sharp contrast leads people to rethink the value of modernization, which can turn our beautiful and vigorous earth into a huge trash bin. Although it is an animated film, WALL-E ignites people's consciousness of protecting our earth from pollution.
Different from other animated films made specifically for young kids, WALL-E shows a romantic love story between two robots. Although love is an everlasting theism in many films, how to express true and pure love through a 90- minute film can never be an easy topic for directors. But the robotic love in the film teaches the audience how to treasure their own love in daily life. The love between WALL-E and Eve breaks the traditional mode of Hollywood love story, which consists of romantic oath and affectionate hug between two lovers. In WALL-E, their words are limited, their emotions are hard to express, and even their sexual distinction is not clarified. But as the story forward, the audiences are deeply moved by their romantic love. When WALL-E falls in love with Eve, what he wants to give Eve is happiness and safety. In order to save Eve from danger, WALL-E leaves his home, gets to a distant planet and stays with Eve without hesitation. His brevity to seek true love moves every people.
The robotic love story becomes especially precious for its purity, because more and more people consider money and wealth as part of romance and marriage. WALL-E is a good teacher of true love, because he knows what pure love is and how to be romantic. Though WALL-E does some funny and awkward actions to win Eve's heart, their impressive story redefines modern people's understanding of love, which actually means sacrifice for each other without asking for return.
WALL-E also gives us a positive and hopeful future. With a warm ending of bright future, WALL-E shows its main theism that our life can be better when people can live harmoniously with different animals and work compatibly with machines. The ending sequence sends a signal of hope that we can find a balance between advanced technology and people without downside. The film uses picturesque and poetic images to show the earth after rebuilding. On the new-born earth, there are no more high buildings, no more factories and no more pollution. Birds are chipping, people are singing, and the two main characters are living together. What the earth has are green plants, vibrant animals and energetic people, who are working compatibly with machines. Although the future world in the film is utopian, it successfully sets up an ideal idea to have a biological balance between human and nature, so that people can live peacefully with all the creatures in the world.
WALL-E has received nearly unanimous acclaim by film critics since its release. WALL-E won the 2008 Golden Globe Award for best animated film and ranks first in Time's "best movies of the decade". The huge success of WALL-E proves that animated films can also show profound thought. The film incorporates several major concerns in the real world, including modernization, love and harmonium, into one 90-minute animated film. Since WALL-E can put the audiences into deep thinking about their life and values, it is more than a simple film made for young kids. WALL-E actually explores the future of humanity in a pleasant atmosphere.
