First and foremost, I cannot deny the fact that I'm a large Pixar fan, especially when I found out that John Lasseter, the chief creative officer, was inspired by Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away, etc).
With that out of the way, I went in to WALL*E expecting a lot. And by a lot, I mean I was expecting this film to blow me away and be better than the past Pixar films. When I walked out of WALL*E, I didn't know whether to cry or smile. I was standing on a line of utter amazement, and I really couldn't find the words to say.
WALL*E met my expectations and then some. For a film that had barely any dialog, WALL*E packed a bigger emotional punch and made a bigger statement than any film I remember seeing in the past [at least] 5 years. WALL*E (the character) is probably the most lovable animated character to ever be imagined. He captured my heart from the moment he was listening to "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" as he was compacting trash around a very vacant earth. Simply the way he was intrigued by all the little things that were lying around him; a rubix cube, lighters, a trash lid, and most captivating, a plant that had just recently broken through the soil.
This sets the pace for the entire film and ultimately his introduction to EVE. As the movie progresses (As I'll spare spoiling anything), WALL*E and EVE develop this relationship where simply saying each other's names says so much more than what we hear. Even using robots can get across the simple message of love, but this one was different. It focused on a simple means of expressing one's love, and it was WALL*E's ultimate goal throughout the film.
The human race somehow managed to survive 700+ years on a spaceship light years away from the Earth, and as we can even tell today, 700 years + technological advancement = a bigger, fatter, and more useless society. Director Andrew Stanton did a fantastic job at lightly making the point that people need to set their eyes on more important things in life; love, people, vegitation, and the world (and universe) around us. What makes it even more beautiful is that the simple introduction of a robot named WALL*E made these obese people realize the world they're missing out on.
If you are ready for the most beautifully illustrated story of this year, DO NOT hesitate to see WALL*E. It just might make you realize the things we really need in life.
