Wall-E

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Last Thursday we went to see the latest Pixar movie, Wall-E. Ignoring the money we spent, it was a perfect evening.

With Wall-E, Pixar once again proved that they’re leading the animation industry. All the other film studios make animation movies like “a head character goes on a quest with his so-called friends; they have a few laughs, they have a few fights, and at the end everything turns out fine (mawkishly sentimental life lesson included)”. Well, that’s not the case with Wall-E.

The first hour of the movie tries to describe how Wall-E lives, how he feels, and what he does. I think there were like 10 spoken sentences and that was it! The silence included humour, sentiment and compassion (what I believe is a very difficult thing to do for a garbage-cleaning robot).

In the second hour we see how Wall-E tries to get over the (mostly bad) feelings he has. He meets Eve who he falls in love with and he begins his (not so corny) quest. The rest of his objective I’ll leave for you to see.

If you were waiting for a movie that is full of fun, passion, adventure, beauty, … in short, all the ingredients for a good movie, then you should see Wall-E… like… immediately!
