Wall-E was good, but honestly a bit disappointing; it seemed kind of... boring? | ||

(spoiler) is it the quiet little kid hooking up with the spunky tomboy? I thought they used up a whole movie to make 1 point, and it's that "life is the journey." The point was beautifully made though. there are things that took away from the movie, like the blatant age difference between the old man and his childhood hero, the irrelevant exotic bird, the pure evil alpha dog that seems like a throwback to earlier shitty disney films, etc. my favorite pixar film's Ratatouille. Anton Ego's review made my eyes water. the struggle to become that which makes you most alive but can also hurt you deeply and is seldom understood... Shucks, I can identify with that. | ||

Pixar is soo good, but wall-e is overrated. It's a very good movie, but not a "beacon", not perfect. Simply because it does too much for a child's movie. | ||

Although I honestly thought the 'humans' in that movie detracted. They were just so... shallow in comparison.And with reference to the 'lack of transforming robots'. If you are referring to 'Transformers', then i welcome you to come to an anonymous help session for other victims suffering the mental trauma of of both the incredibly bad plot continuation of Terminator: Salvation and the incredibly bad action scene directing of Transformers 2. Pizza and coffee is not provided, you must bring your own. | ||

I think a lot of the beauty behind pixar comes out of the fact that their movies cater to a much larger audience than just children (as most animated movies) | ||

We get to see the basis for the story to come. The real deal comes later when the now old man (whose wife died as you saw in the 15 minutes) has to deal with the fact that people want to tear his house down. He can't bear the idea of this because for him, this house very much symbolizes the love he had with his wife/life he shared with her, and tearing that down is like erasing all of that. So he instead decides to 'fly' away, and goes through [insert rest of movie here]. | ||

Wall-E is the story of a simple, backwards, country boy with a big heart and unending love who falls for a sophisticated, sexy city girl. In his undying love for the girl he learns that not only does he have a big heart, he has big balls as well. And in the end the girls realizes the same. I don't see this whole 'robots' interpretation. Don't reed too deeply into the subtext. | ||
