Wall-E

The most inspiring, interesting and reflective movie I have ever seen has to be Wall-E. I salute Andrew Stanton and Pete Docter who have written the story. The movie is about the future, based on a waste-collecting robot. He is pulled away from his daily routine by another, different kind of robot and ends up on an adventure to space.

This movie shows us what will happen if we humans continue like this, wasting our resources, being so dependent on technology and being ignorant to the damage we are causing to the natural habitat around us. In the movie we have destroyed our beloved planet Earth and our now living in a gigantic spaceship. It also gives us a view on our current diets, and what it will lead to. The movie portrays us humans as fat, obese creatures, who are absolutely technologically dependent. We do nothing at all, we are attached to machines, we survive on liquidized foods as we have become to lazy to chew, we move in chairs because we can’t walk. We have become so technologically dependent that we don’t even communicate the old fashion way, we talk into screens to communicate with each other. We have become immobile, fat, lazy, dependent people!

This is definitely, without a doubt a must see movie. It is a total eye-opener. It makes you realize what you are doing to this earth and to yourself. It was a wake up call to me personally, and I have realized the importance of the tiny bad things we do that make a difference and how the little good things that we can, but don’t do, make a difference in a big way.
