WALLE

Well, the other night I went to C the movie WALLE with my dad. It was a very interesting experience. With the lack of dialogue (Less than 1 percent) in this movie the creators had to rely heavily on building the characters through showing their emotions with very well done facial expressions and giving the characters very likeable and cute personalities. In my opinion this totally made up for the lack of dialogue.

 

Aside from that I think the movie had a few very interesting and somewhat subtle messages for the viewer. The main message of the movie was for us to take care of our planet and be more environmentally aware. However WALLE had an underlying message which I found very interesting.The movie held Big Corporation responsible for all bad that has come to humanity. Under the name BigNLarge which owns everything from soft drinks to gas stations and supermarket chains, Big Corporation was portrayed as a manipulative, brainwashing force behind everything that had happened to humanity. Good example of this is the classroom scene where the teacher is teaching the preschoolers:" A is For Axiom... B is for BigNLarge..."

 

Another yet subtle message of the movie was the effect of computers and the Internet on our daily lives.Everyone was so busy staring at the hologram monitors in front of them that they were totally out of touch with themselves and their surroundings and  machines had took control of their lives. But once the system was shut off it was like they all woke up from this deep coma they were in.

 

All in all the movie was very nice and worth seeing.

Thats all for now :)
