WALL·E
As much as I want to say that if I were in this movie, I would be the selfless and committed Wall-E, however, I have to say I heavily relate to the cleaning robot. Not only do I feel mildly irritated that it feels like I’m always cleaning, but I also see myself just randomly joining a resistance against a 700-year-old regime with no convincing needed. For a kids' movie, it does a very good job of showcasing part of what living is. For instance, Wall-E does follow his directive every day (cleaning garbage), but what gives him character is what he does outside of that time. He collects things, wakes up with no energy, has a pet, and probably the most relatable thing in the whole movie, watch’s film, and dreams of living it out. Fortunately for him, he gets to live out, which leads to one of the all-time great dancing scenes in space. All of these are very human qualities but yet he is a robot then the humans on the spaceship offer a juxtaposition to Wall-E, displaying none of these characteristics. They don’t dream or showcase any signs of intellectual or creative interest. That is, until Wall-E turns off their screen and they can finally “live”. The moral of the story is watch more movies…
