Wall-E Review
I went to see Wall-E on Sunday and it was one of the most awesome movies I have ever seen. It was extremely cute the whole time and what completely fascinated me was how Pixar were able to produce such an awesome movie with basically no dialogue. The backbone of Wall-E is a romantic story developing between two robots and it's breathtaking how much can be said without words. I love every movie that Pixar ever released and Wall-E stays true to high standard these guys never fail to deliver. This movie is a masterpiece. Five out of five, hands down.
Wall-E Spoilers
Wall-E which is short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter-Earth Class is a little robot who is all alone on Earth, carrying out his duty of a garbage collector and compactor. The earth is a cold and abandoned place where only hills of metallic garbage can be found. Accompanied by only his friend cockroach, Wall-E goes out every day, just as he has for 700 years since humans abandoned him there and forgot to turn him off - to collect garbage which he stuffs inside his square bode and compacts by a mechanism inside, ultimately spitting out a cube of metal, which he stacks up into towers of metal.
There are no dialogues, other than some play back on a TV that was left turned on and kept playing the same stuff over and over. Yet despite no dialogues, the movie introduces Wall-E as main character in a very cute manner allowing a viewer to establish connection with poor robot who's all alone on entire planet yet still remains loyal to his duties.
One day big rumble comes and Wall-E sees a huge space ship land close to him. The space ship drops off another robot who is way more advanced, capable of flying and firing. After a little snooping around and near getting killed, Wall-E eventually becomes friends with Eve (name of cute white robot, meaning Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator) and takes her to his hideout.
In his hideout, Wall-E has a TV with a tape recording of some old movie with Hello Dolly song. He watched it often noticing and learning emotions form the movie, especially how people there were holding each other's hands. Wall-E also saved the only living organism that survived under the pile of garbage - a little plant that he keeps inside an old shoe.
When Eve is shown the plant, she puts it inside herself and it turns her off. She becomes dead - which is the part I didn't quite get. Wall-E was in love with Eve the moment she landed on Earth so he was heart broken when she deactivated and tried his best to revive her. Failing at his attempts, he saw the space ship come back and take Eve away. Not willing to part with his love, Wall-E clings onto the ship and flies into the space.
He ends up on an Axiom, space ship that was directed to stay floating in space and not come back, because the Earth became so polluted with garbage, the life on it was no longer sustainable. That is why all people abandoned it and left Wall-E robots to clean it, hoping the biosphere would renew. All robots failed, until only Wall-E remained, still serving his purpose. The people in Axiom were unable to move as everything was automatic and they were stuck to a chair throughout their lives. Captain of the ship is revealed the truth about the Earth and sees a plant and argument between the machines and a captain takes place.
Eve is revealed how much Wall-E went through looking after her when she was deactivated by previewing the footage form a security camera and falls back in love with him. Captain of Axiom is able to bring the ship back on the Earth, but the fight against machine destroyed Wall-E. Upon arrival on Earth, Eve takes broken Wall-E back into his shad where he has spare parts for himself and tries to fix him. She succeeds, but Wall-E comes back he way he originally was - no emotions, just ready to gather and compact garbage. He doesn't recognize Eve and goes to do what he was built for. Eve grabs his hand, the sign of emotions he spent so much time watching on TV and gives him a kiss, which brings back the feelings he built up in himself making it the cutest ending for a movie ever. Such a beautiful movie I cried :/
