Directive A113 - Wall*E (HD) (SPOILERS)

One of my favorite scenes from Pixar's latest movie, Wall-E.
Not only did I love this scene for the twist in the plot and the amazing CGI, but I mostly loved it for AutoPilot's personality striking a very close resemblance of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Wall-E is obviously not owned by me. All rights go to Disney and Pixar.

[@def-c_616]

This guy is a pretty damn underrated Pixar character He seems like a simple comedic fatguy character at first, but this scene just shows how dignified & determined he really is to care for what is left of humanity.

[@HunterKiller762]

The world would be a better place if more people followed this man’s example

[@dusk6159]

That should be a given, he's THE humanity acting as a whole, and doing the heavy lifting tooth and nail with what the robots provided him with. Pixar brought a masterpiece for many reasons and the character Captain is one of them.

[@hunterolaughlin]

Plus being voiced by Murray Goldberg, Jeff Garlin himself! He just really fitted the role well. I cannot think of any other comedian or actor that could have played the character so perfectly as Jeff.

[@ladywaffle2210]

All his life, he only ever sat on a chair. Consider that. He was standing up to AUTO, both figuratively... and literally.

A lot of people are capable of great things if they’re given the right motivation. The Captain is another part of the film’s consumerism message; distractions are the death of progress.

The different realizations that the captain goes through from realizing that in order for the plant to grow someone has to look out for it, to realizing that in almost 700 years humanity had done absolutely nothing to realizing that he has to take an active stance is just an amazing show of growth that would span months yet taking nothing more than 3 minutes. It's quite a scene.

[@OrinokawaMizuki]

It's that short, because many don't want to watch a three months long movie. It should be noted that Earth had a LOT plants in the ending, and the humans did sent WALL-E to clean the Earth, what it's missing are humans. Interestingly, Earth becomes active again after humans are back. So… Could it be humans are needed for an active Earth?

[@stormtroopercaptain1804]

AUTO is probably one of the most interesting Pixar villains. Unlike most villains, his actions are in a misguided attempt to preserve humanity. He refuses to believe the information he was given was false, and acts to prevent humanity from going back to what he believes to be a dangerous environment.

As the axiom's residents rely less on themselves and more on the ship, the captain especially, Auto is shown to evolve more and more as time goes on.

[@OrinokawaMizuki]

Closed. Auto didn't evolve. Only he takes more and more parts of running the ship as times goes by. By the time WALL-E arrived, the Captain doesn't have to do anything, but he still wants to do something (e.g. status checks, announcements). When comparing to the previous captains, he realized that he has less controls than his predecessors.

[@lovelovemiraclesunsetgirl]

The fact that AUTO disclosed the classified information, which he wasn't supposed to do in the first place, goes to show that AUTO truly isn't evil. He wanted the captain to understand WHY he was following those orders. He wasn't trying to be antagonistic or mean, he tried to show his reasoning.

[@yourcollegedebt8384]

Exactly! He was programmed to keep humanity safe and comfortable. And taking them to a planet that's known to be unsustainable? That goes against everything he's supposed to do. Not only that, but he was given direct orders to prevent the Axiom from going back to Earth. What are you supposed to do? Let the Captain go against your directive, or follow said directive from somebody even higher up? Ignoring, of course, that this directive was given 700 years ago.

[@e-122psi3]

I like how if you take out the automated voice, it actually sounds like two professional humans debating Kirk/Spock style rather than a human trying to get a machine to do as its told. The Captain knows AUTO is advanced enough to be reasoned with ethically, only overruling him when it is obvious he won't listen and hasn't for a VERY long time, even groaning and facepalming like he's bickering with his wife.

If Wall-E hadn't been sitting on top of the shaft Auto used to descend to the Captain's Quarters, he would have seen Gopher and Auto extracting the plant and hiding it. Later, the Captain confirms that this is the first time _any_ EVE probe has ever returned from Earth registering as "positive" for plant life. Auto was only going through the motions to keep up pretenses. It very nearly works, too, since the Captain completely fell for Auto's deception, which made EVE look defective. It was only Wall-E's intervention (and the fact he's completely covered with dirt) that the Captain became interested in Earth at all. I'm fairly certain all that information the Captain had is technically readily accessible to anyone, but after 700 years people just stopped, thanks to Buy N Large's strategy of never-ending corporate consumerism.

[@sdmedia1323]

Something tells me that there were many Eves on Earth, but AUTO was somehow able to control them, causing them to not return to the ship and possibly self-destruct. This might be why Eve had such a large distrust of WALL-E at first, she was somewhat afraid that there was something destroying the other models… her siblings. AUTO could’ve forgotten about this one model of Eve, maybe distracted or something, I’m not sure… but he sure forgot about her. Maybe he was just certain there wasn’t any life… oh, how wrong…

It frightened me because it meant that humans had made an entire planet unsuitable for life. What made it worse was that it was our home planet, and one that I (along with the vast majority of the audience) had an emotional attachment to. Can you imagine your hometown or state without any trees, grass, animals, or any other life at all? That combined with the possibility that some of this was due to nuclear fallout (which let's be honest, with a society like that it was a big one) just freaked me out. Also, they were flying around for centuries and never found any other planets capable of sustaining life? That was pretty bleak.

I am inclined to believe that the President of BnL didn't have any other choice but to issue Directive A113, as Operation Cleanup was not progressing as well as it could have been at the time. Rather than keep it going in a possible fruitless attempt, he decided it would be easier (or better, who knows what?) to abandon Operation Cleanup, cancel Operation Recolonize, issue Directive A113 and get off the planet as soon as possible.

[@americanjohnny4814]

Not necessarily, as it can be interpreted as symbolism of “peak” human condition before the movie takes place

[@OrinokawaMizuki]

"A113" if somehow derived into all letters, will be "AIB". "Aib (عيب)" is the Arabic word for "Imperfection"/"Error"/"Not in order"/"Dysfunction"/etc. This is interesting, because Auto here considered the arrival of the Plant Sample to be an Error that must be corrected. The "1138" in the movie THX 1138 itself probably was supposed to be "A 113", with the character THX 1138 probably was supposed to be A 113, before they changed the letters and numbers to increase the population. Plus to make it looks more like "1984". 26*999=25'974 (A 113) in comparison to 26*26*26*9999=175'742'424 (THX 1138), then there's the 3 letters forms like "AIB" (26*26*26=17'576). A 000, AAA 0000, and 000 aren't included. Stuff like WALL-E is also not included. A 113 or even just AIB implied a much more limited amount of population, as if they're living in space or at least a bunker. THX 1138 is indeed a movie about a bunker. THX 1138 is basically a revised of Logan's Run, as in the novel version. Each has an underground automated society, who limits the amount of population. How Axiom controls its population amount is perharps better not discussed. The 1984 novel seems to imply that the population is divided into 3 sections: Inner Party, Outer Party, and non-Party. What some rarely thought is, the Inner Party people actually have less freedom than the other two, because the Party system controls the Inner Party more than the other two groups. Some thought the Inner Party people control everything, in contrary, they're the ones being controlled. Like what O'Brien said, "They got me a long time ago." What if all of those stories are not stories that 'predict the future'? What if they were all previous stories of human that were hidden or 'forgotten'? THX, Logan, and so on potrayed human living in bunkers underground. While WALL-E, Megazone 23, and so on potrayed humans living in space ships. Meaning if those are indeed stories of the past, then we have cousins inside the Earth and out there in space, who got stuck there.
