Wall-E is not only a love story. But I just fell in love with Wall-E and EVE as they go along on their adventure. The way Wall-E followed EVE in the space because he doesn’t want to lose the one and only friend he has… and … the way EVE cared for Wall-E because she also learned to love Wall-E … mapapa “awwww” ka talaga. Even if 90% of the movie has no dialogs, I still understood every movement and expression of the characters.
Here’s Ailyn and Jellypotpot with Wall-E and EVE
Now here’s me and Jellypotpot
But behind that love story is a very interesting discovery about human satisfaction. As we all know (from the trailer) that everyone left from earth because it was not anymore inhabitable, a lot of garbage and pollution. Everyone went to a place called "AXIOM" which is a large spaceship away from earth that symbolizes "pleasure and heavenly". When the film started, it was year 2700, They were almost 700 years living in AXIOM. Everyone is pampered by the robot, no suffering, coonflict or tension, just a place to relax, not anyone is obligated to work -- only the captain who gives announcements and commands to the robots. But this screnario makes it like a hell because everyone was like a living dead. The film even showed all the humans to very fat and overweight who can't even stand up with their own feet. Everyone is using a robotic bed that they used to move to one place to another. They only sleep, wake up, eat, chat, without asking what is happening around them and only rely on technology. People didn't even notice the stars in the sky.
When the captain discovered a plant is starting grow again on earth (because of EVE's exploration on earth), the captain became very interested and he eagerly rediscover what was life on earth really was. I guess "instant gratification" on food and other needs is not what people want. For me, life can be only be perfect when there exists both sadness and hapiness, success and failures, pain and glory... The story ended when they come back to earth even if the robots tried to stop them. They planted trees, experienced real joy and hapiness. Yun lang :D. Two thumbs up, Wall-E!
We went straight to Pizza Hut for our dinner. And since today is grocery day, I never failed to bring my grocery list prepared by DaddyDemz!
