Wall E was a big disappointment from Andrew Stanton (Oscar Award Winner), and Pixar, the maker of Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, etc. The earlier movies were done with a finesse to entertain both kids and adults. But what happened to the brilliant story line, loveable characters and screen play?
Wall E made me go up the wall, literally go up with wall. If not for the comfortable chair and popcorn I would have left the movie hall in the first half an hour. There was a strong story line in the beginning and I was hoping that they would emphasize “Go green” and perils of “global warming”, but the movie was a meaningless love story of two cleaning machines. Are humans so unhappy about their women and love life that they desperately make machines fall in love? Since when did love become a science fiction? May be after my previous post on "Save Males" love is Science fiction!
So many critics went ga ga over the movie, but it was all hype, froth and miserably failed to live expectations. Two machines falling in love – can that be the moral of a story? The script was very clichéd, dragging and every scene was predictable. I don’t even consider this a movie for juveniles leave alone adults. May be it is a nice way of introducing the concept of love to toddlers.
A friend of mine said “One way you are right, making machines fall in love shows that humans are not happy, and the other way of looking at it , even machines need care and love and wants to show emotions , may be machines will remind mankind that they have forgotten to appreciate people around them in their daily lives.”
Does living someone’s dream also mean living their desperation? lol!

ReplyDelete" Are humans so unhappy about their women and love life that they desperately make machines fall in love?"
Humans are unhappy about the person they love or men are unhappy about their woman..... Human species does not include just men! Very skewed viewpoint here!!!!
