Love For Nature In The Film "Walle"
Have you ever wondered what will happen if our beloved earth became a junkyard? Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar animation Studios come with the idea of Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class short for WALL E a movie that won many awards for its astonishing qualities in the field of animated films.
WALL E is a story about the last robot on earth designed to manage the mess left behind by human race some 700 years ago in a place we can no longer call home because of toxic air, dried ocean, warm climate, and junk everywhere a world unsustainable for life. One day he found a very unusual and beautiful thing, a plant, the first plant able to grow from the past 7 centuries, curious and amazed, he kept it.
He met EVE, an advanced type of robot from space, who landed on earth for a mission. It was a love at first sight for our tiny junkyard bot, so doing everything he can to be close to her, he showed EVE the plant, not knowing that it is her job to find one and take it to the spaceship AXIOM, the new home of human race, a place where everything is manipulated by computer, from the tiniest button on their high tech chairs up to the widest dome in the ceiling depicting day and night.
The people born from this race were fat, lazy as a sloth, unable to walk due to their laziness and were only connected by screens because of too much reliance on technology. Realizing that the plant is the Earth’s only hope to sustain life once again, WALL E and EVE’s journey begins.
The film WALL E taught us positive things like love for nature, responsibilities, relationships and courage. It will make you laugh, inspired and feel love with the cute love story of Wall E and Eve. The film depicts the possible outcome of our beloved mother earth if we abuse it too much by means of too much modernization, making the people realize their responsibility linked to it.
It gives value to relationships among friends as seen with WALL E and the other robots in the axiom, the bond between him and his pet cockroach, and the intimacy between him and EVE and between the two people who became friends with Wall E. Courage also takes part, evoking the Axiom people to take action, to take a step, and to fight for what is good for many, shown in the climax where the ship’s captain and people fought together with our hero to save the earth.
However, if not because of our little hero, the modern generation will not realize what they have done to their original homeland. Other fascinating features of the film are the surreal cinematography, sounds, music and the unique way story telling that uses more body languages especially in the first parts and the scenes between him and EVE, making the audience experience some kind of nostalgia.
One flaw of the movie in terms of the eyes of science is that the ending credit part where they show the Earth's revival along with its wildlife and natural resources because as emphasized in the movie, the earth had literally nothing that can sustain life even the oceans are gone, so bringing back the different kinds of animals, flying, crawling, walking, swimming and variety of plants are too far from reality because it will take hundreds to thousands of years.
Truly, WALL E is a great eye opener for people to know their responsibility and awareness regarding nature and the use of technology. It is indeed a great movie suitable for all especially as an inspiration for children in their early life, no wonder it was nominated and won many awards since. I must say it is really a must watch film.
