wall-e?
well, not much to say about the movie "wall-e." i watched it today with a couple of friends, and, uhm...the place was infested with adults who find stupid humor hysterical. you know. the kind of person that finds joy in watching a guy getting whacked with a frying pan. there were multiple clones of this type of person sitting in every-seat-of-that-theater.
and children. ay-yi. there were only about 12 children in the whole room ranging from 2 to 5 years old, and each time something would happen in the movie that was "traumatizing", they'd either cry or whisper to the guy next to them and ask about what the hell was going on. >_>
alright. every single time i've watched a movie in theaters now, there's ALWAYS noise to be made. if not noise, a bright light of a cell phone. if not either, two rowdy teenage girls who won't shut up about what the heck "pretentious" means and who won't stop taking pictures of themselves in the back seats with the flash on.
ugh...
anyway.
wall-e. it's alright. i give it 10 for graphics and, hm, 6 for plot. it's unique, but...pretty shallow. most of the time i was either gawking at the SHEER BEAUTY of the animation, or saying "aww" when the robots would do something kitten/puppy-ish. is...is that bad? :O
so, apparently, the world will fill to the brim with garbage to the point where we'll have to escape to the mysterious confines of space in a huge starship (which looks dangerously similar to the starship enterprise...). and the weird thing is that this ship only holds AMERICANS. not once did i find someone of a different background in that ship. >_> so, what, one ginormous ship not big enough for europe? come on...
and since humans have relied on technology to take care of them on this ship, they've all become morbidly obese over the course of 700 years. they all look like seals when they trip and roll over. makes me wish that apple would stop production right here right now.
and the robot ROMANCE. i honestly thought that wall-e and this one female robot were going to have babies by the end credits. is...is that even possible? sure, disney can pull that off, right? a majority of their movies have love followed by birthin' babies, don't they? disney's made a mermaid grow legs, a lion speak and even a swashbuckling PIRATE drink rum and try to kill the undead all while plastered out of his skull! why NOT have robot babies??
i just wish that there was more of a moral to this than "humans must take better care of the environment." >_> take care of it? save the earth and all that? can we honestly stand up and say that we must save the environment? or what? we'll become morbidly obese? i'm betting more than 80% of this earth is filled with overweight people, so what's a little "earth saving" gonna do? make us more obese? what's the next level after "morbidly"?
waste? we send waste down the toilet every day! define waste, environmentalists.
we're all gonna end up dying anyway, so what's a little trash, huh? i suppose all wall-e was supposed to teach us was that we're all gonna end up dying.
only a company like disney would be able to sugar coat that with a cute little robot with his pet cockroach. there's more violence to disney than we know
...madness, i tell you.
