Review: WALL-E (2008)

Last Wednesday, me and my beloved classmates watched this movie. We felt the euphoria together, sad together, cry together, and just kidding :p

To the point, my lecturer asked us to watch and pay attention the film. Honestly, I've watched this movie many times before, yet I still enjoyed it very much since kinda forget about the stories lol. Before telling you about the main idea and my comment for this movie, let me inform you what the WALL-E film is.

WALL-E is a computer animated science film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Andrew Stanton. This movie has received a lot of Awards, such as Best Animated Feature at 81st Academy Awards. The main character in this movie is a Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth-Class, a robot which is called WALL-E, designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in the future. This movie is about how technology and vegetation affect human life.

This movie begins when the Earth has been covered by garbage due to some reasons, which made human had to leave the Earth and live outer space, in a huge spaceship. This reason left WALL-E placed to clean up the Earth. It is a 'He'. He was made based on an Artificial Intelligence Technoology, as well as AI. Eventually, only this compactor robot that can stand to do his duty. He kept maintain himself by repairing his own self using parts of other units. He did his job very well by making the junk into a cube and stacked them to make it neater. Apart from his regular duties, he liked to collect some unique things and kept them into his garbage truck.

One day, and Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator as known as EVE, sent into the Earth by the human living outter space. She was assigned to look for vegetation on Earth. The EVE's presence made WALL-E surprised and suddenly he fell in love with her until once he gave one of his best collection to her, a growing seedling.

According to this movie, from the technological developments side, the effect of using excessive technology is too harmful. The laziness everywhere, the human rely on the robots, even they don't walk on their own feet. Everytime they want something, the robots can fulfill as they wish. There is no human interaction directly, which is  they do talk to other distant people connected by the technology and they don't notice who the people rigth beside them. As I can say, the technology rule the human life.

The next thing I can see, the human do not take care the Earth. They let the garbage take over the vegetation. They just relize and do care with the Earth when everything bad has happened. We know that this bad behavior has been a majority of human tradition and I can't imagine if that bad things will happen latter on.

In the other hand, I was made amazed by this AI Technology. The human can make the robots perfectly, even they looks as they have a heart and brain like human's. The impacts, some robots can do anything they want, so that the human should have mantain, manage, and control more often than usual. But, I didn't find anything like this happen, it's opposite. The human just enjoy their life, instead the broken / unexpected robots fixed by the other robots too. Looks funny, isn't it?

In the end, many lessons we can get from this movie. All I can say, we certainly can drive ourselves. Don't be a slave of technology since we are the creators of it. Probably the technology could help us very well, in the other hand it can be the otherwise thing, like anti-social. All of those are depend on the human self.

This film teach us to protect our earth as well by showing us how necessary we should growing a seed to recover our green life. We don't have to make a robot like WALL-E to clean up the garbage while we can put the litter on the right place. This film also pretty smart to show us the right things and what the worst things will happen to the Earth and the human self because of their treatment. Personally, I terriibly love the purpose of this movie, that is to persuade us to make our lives better by our right hands.
