Wall E : romantic, prophetic and nostalgic apocalypse


Take a look. Those guys are who to evaluate Pixar? Pixar is impeccable, incredible and never goes wrong…So you have to see Wall-E.

If you are familiar with the director, Andrew Stanley whose last file was “Finding Nemo,” you will never miss this movie.

At the first sight, you might think Wall-E is just another Pixar film, another animation, filled with a hot issue, ecology, and , of course, plus romance.

However, you might be wrong. This film is deeper than you think.

Apparently, Stanton pays a tribute to Stanley Kubrick, whose “2001 Space Odyssey” is a classic. Not only imitate its plot, computer controlling the captain, but even use the same music “Genesis”. So you will peek what Stanton was attempting to do.

Is it just a romantic film or animation? Oh! No! of course not.
In the first 30 minutes of this film, there is no dialogue. Yes, no dialogue. It is just like a silent film; not to mention, Wall-E watches dance on TV. I would say it is more over nostalgia but a tribute to the cinema past. especially, the last news told Fritz Long‘s “Metropolis” copies found in Argentina. Now I have one more muse.
