Wall-E: The Perfect Film

[@thesardonicpig3835]

Even among the people who praise this film, I think the Captain is a shockingly underrated character. With his character arc, he essentially becomes a stand-in for the whole of humanity. In a way, he begins as a casual villain. He upholds the status quo not because of malicious intent or greed or even lust for power - his only motivation is comfort. He wants things to stay the way they have always been because change requires effort, and that's something these humans have learned to shirk at all costs. When he is first presented with the prospect of returning to Earth, he is excited yet apprehensive - and then, overjoyed to find that it was (seemingly) a false alarm, because he chooses no news even over good news. What ultimately triggers him is one of humankind's most distinctive features - curiosity. And it's at that moment, when he's learning about Earth, that he begins to use his technology responsively, rather than being used BY it. He uses it to further his knowledge and understanding, and it's that which fully convinces him that returning to Earth is both desirable and urgently necessary. The Captain grows naturally towards responsibility like a child learning to walk for the first time. Literally in his case. He becomes heroic once he's fully grasped the situation - realising how stunted humanity has become, how dependent on distraction, willingly enslaved by their own machines. Not just his ship, the entirety of humanity has been on Autopilot. AUTO stands for humanity's complete disinterest in agency for 700 years. Long before the Captain physically gets on his feet, I think the moment he becomes a hero is when he pulls down his cap and says "I am the Captain of the Axiom. We are going home today."

I think how it also works is how the robots seemingly develop more personalities whilst the humans do absolutely nothing and lose alot off personality. So in a way robots become like humans and humans more like robots.

[@thesardonicpig3835]

@@pepijn23 Yes, and it's executed very cleverly. The humans talk constantly, but they never SAY anything. The robots, despite only using gestures, sounds and broken words, express profound things. The humans only talk - but the robots communicate.

There is a bit of hinting with the captain complaining that the morning announcements is one of the only things he gets to do.

[@zeruko1787]

Lets not forget the beauty of the credits, where it shows that humanity could go on to save Earth and make it a beautiful place again through a slide show with different periods of art and different cultures at the same time that shows the blossoming of WALL-E's and EVE's love

[@maddiemcnugget1076]

TRUUUE Wall-e has the best credits scene. I normally always stay for credits until the "boring" ones show up but yeah Wall-E's credits are the best by far because it satiates the curiosity I have for "the ending", but it doesn't negate the thoughts and ideas you get from watching the film since it's a precautionary tale. As a kid, I hated when movies didn't have good enough endings for me like... the couple kisses and that is it?? What about AFTER. and then the sequel cuts to the couple fighting like... dude I want to SEE THEIR FIRST DATE. But after a while of being a musical theater and general arts and culture nerd, I realized why endings are like that... Then I learned the beauty of it... idk if it was today or if it was a while ago, but it was recent-ish. A good story, leaves you curious. leaves you thinking. Whether it's about the future of the couple or the future of the planet. You are left wondering about the future and what you can do next about it. It leaves you with something to sit on. And I think that's proper media consumption.

The part that Wall E was rebooting really made me cry, imagine the personality that took him years to be sentient is now gone, there's no emotion on his new faceplat and the fact that Eve used everything that wall E had thought her adding to the sadness, she almost lost the chance to acknowledge Wall E feelings to her vice versa.

WALL-E was a great example of building characters with bare minimal dialogue. It managed to make us like a ship between a trash compactor and a probe.

[@Fengari7117]

16 years later and this film is still so culturally relevant

[@CoffeeToffeeVT]

One thing I really appreciated about this movie is that it doesn't villainize the robots for human dependence. Instead, it gives them human traits to emphasize the value of human connection. Wall-E, with his charming personality, exemplifies this, which would help change the views of his robotic peers. His impact on Eve, who initially focused solely on her directive, highlights the importance of human connection.

[@theholygamer969]

If you watch the trailer for the movie, you may notice that the narrator describes WALL-E's personality as a glitch. An imperfection in his programming. Just about every robot in the movie is capable of some form of expressiveness, but on the Axiom, it's often suppressed or hidden because it's considered something to correct, something to fix or remove. EVE also has her own personality prior to meeting WALL-E, but she kind of hides it from her superiors. When she arrives on Earth, she only takes off into free flight to "stretch her wings" when the rocket leaves. She seems to know that she can't show her true colors when she's monitored, or she'll be considered faulty. Another example is the broken bots in the repair ward. They can't do their primary jobs because they're malfunctioning, but they have far more personality than their peers. WALL-E is even deemed a hero when he frees them by accident, and they help him and EVE in getting the Axiom back to Earth. WALL-E's brokenness, his free will, IS the hidden message of the story. WALL-E's sentience and proactive nature is the key to bringing humanity back. Humans on the Axiom are largely just... existing. They're not truly living. But WALL-E's had seven hundred years to live, and he ends up spreading that gift to everyone else, especially EVE, who already had her own sentience, but didn't have much opportunity to show it freely. The movie's usage of machines to portray personality as some sort of glitch or imperfection isn't just clever. It's the whole point. Because that's what free will is. The ability to choose, act, and live is meant to be imperfect, because while it does allow us to be inactive, or even choose evil, it also allows us to pursue what's good in the world. It's better to be able to choose good OR evil, than to have no say in the matter at all, to potentially contribute something of value than provide nothing. We are meant to be broken and flawed, because if we were completely perfect, we'd just be mindless machines that couldn't do anything. WALL-E's message is about embracing the root of humanity: The beautiful imperfection of one's free will. It's about using your ability to choose to better the world around you, and how pursuing and working towards something truly good can positively affect those around you, even when you don't realize it. That's what makes WALL-E so timeless. It works on SEVERAL levels. It's not just a love story. It's not just a cautionary tale about the dangers of an automated society, or mankind's responsibility to care for its natural home. It's a story that shows the positive consequences of being alive and active. Imperfection is necessary, even when society might consider it something to be fixed. People are imperfect because they're allowed to choose. We're supposed to be that way. Imperfection is life. And life is wonderful.

This comment right here, is one of the best takes I've ever seen about this film. Thanks for your effort

[@Dave5400]

People are always talking about the philosophical/religious etc. undercurrents of films, but can we take a minute just to appreciate how good of a romantic film this is? And, yes, I do consider this to be mainly a romantic film and not really a sci-fi film with a moral tale. The *vast* majority of romantic stories (animated, or otherwise) are done in such a cringy way that, frankly, I'm amazed there are so many who watch them. The characters are usually overexaggerated and over-acted and it really detracts from the actual romance. I think this is one of the only romantic films that doesn't do that, whilst still delivering a compelling romantic plot.

[@lasercraft32]

Can we talk about how the Wall-E robots were supposed to be cleaning up the planet, but all of their "cleaning" basically boils down to compressing trash into cubes and then stacking it? Really puts an emphasis on how unsustainable our current way of throwing away trash is. Even on the Axiom they just seem to dump the trash out into space instead of finding a better way to dispose of it or recycle it.

[@LexiLunarpaw]

This was the golden age of Pixar, it seemed like every movie they made back then was a home run. The Toy Story movies, A Bug’s Life, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, etc. etc. Even with this amazing lineup of films, all of which I have so many fond memories of, Wall-E still manages to shine through and prove itself to be one of Pixar’s very best. The characters, themes, and animation in this film are as beautiful now as they were back then. The fact that so much is conveyed with so few words between Wall-E and Eve proves the universality of love in such a poignant way. The friendships that he forms with the human characters show the common sentience that lies within both man and A.I, and how the two aren’t as different as we think, and this is a film from 2008! A.I wasn’t even on most people’s radar back then, so Wall-E was way ahead of it’s time in that sense. Just a masterpiece of a movie, and will always be one of my favorites.

[@user-dv9xx3yy8v]

I have known about wall e many years ago but have just watched it today and it just became my top fave disney pixar movie

[@pillowmoment]

I cannot properly express my love for this film. I love robots. I love space. I like cute stories. I love character parallels.. Wall-E has all that. I’m a huge fan of stories with robots. I love how much you can do with the concept. Rogue AI, self-awareness, lack of or pressing presence of limits (robots can do soo much, but then again, they’re still fragile.) etc. THIS STORY HAS ALL THAT. Auto is, technically, rogue AI. Following a basic order in a violent matter. All the robots are self-aware. And every robot is presented as so wonderful and powerful, and DURABLE, (especially from Wall-E’s POV of the newer tech) but we get to see over and over how vulnerable they are and how easy it is for a robot to be shut down or broken. These concepts are so fun to play with, and Wall-E uses them really well. Robots are soooo cool i love this movie so much

[@pillowmoment]

And! Rogue AI is a super cool concept on it’s own. AI does not need to be human to be rogue. AI just means the bot can think for itself with.. well.. artificial intelligence. Auto is not human. He doesn’t act human, and has no personality. But he’s an AI in a very literal sense It’s “gone rogue” because it’s interpreting the instructions in a way that’s unintended and can cause harm. That’s all rogue AI really is. It’s taking what it knows and applying it in a way that’s dangerous. Auto is such a boiled down version of that idea and it makes him unique. But rogue AI can also be a story like Portal 2, where the main villain’s arc revolves more around human thoughts and emotions, and how dangerous unstable people are when in positions of power, and especially when they let it get to their head (Talking about wheatley!) And rogue AI can also be literally anything. And that’s why i love robot stories so much.

[@mettatonex7221]

You know, I just finished playing through NieR: Automata for the first time, and just like the start of WALL-E, the setting is an Earth that has long been abandoned by humanity. Cities that are empty shells of their former selves and reclaimed by nature, all sorts of remnants of the culture that was in place when intelligent biological organisms were running the show, all now serving as the backdrop for interactions between artificial creations, a silent dread that is always present and tells its sorrowful tale through nothing but its mere existence. It's a fascinating setting to work with.

[@paigemurphy7770]

This is NOT like Adam and Eve, it’s more like Noah’s Ark. EVE is the dove, the trash is the sinfulness that needed to be washed away, the sapling is the olive branch, and the Axeom is the ark.

Heck it’s Kimi no na wa, Tenki no Ko and Suzume no Tojimari before Kimi no na wa, Tenki no Ko and Suzume no Tojimari, So it kinda made me feel like Makoto Shinkai did get inspiration from Wall-E. You’ve got to understand that they’re similar in a sense that the story inside, we are seeing between two worlds, one is greener and the other is not. Two main characters fall in love with each other, however one is almost at the verge of death (Wall E, Mitsuha, Hina and Souta), but the other main character (Eve, Taki, Hodoka and Suzume) is finding a way or restoring in order to save the character they love. They also stop the crisis or the chaos happening in the other side of the world they are in.

[@thunderpantz]

A few movies I have to watch.

[@Lancerious]

Wall-E has always been my favorite Pixar movie. It's a spectacular film, but the one issue i have with it is why Eve got sent to the trash-filled earth in the first place. If Auto was set on the idea of never returning to earth, why send a robot to check if the planet was habitable again? It's not like the Captain did it, he was barely even the "Captain" of the ship at the time. The entire movie would have simply not happened if Auto was truly ded set on never returning to earth or even bothering to check if it was habitable

[@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820]

I reckon it’s just part of his programming. Auto’s instructions are to check if earth is habitable, and to keep the people on the ship safe until that time comes. He doesn’t “want” to never return to earth, he’s simply made the judgment, based on centuries of data, that earth is unsalvageable. Eve was sent to earth because Auto is still carrying out his orders, but he refuses to allow them to return because he has his second order (to keep the ship’s passengers safe) and he doesn’t think a single plant outweighs the centuries of data showing that earth is most likely unsalvageable.

[@JonathanHernandez-uh5ho]

To get it, and destroy it. Bring it back basically. It’s all wall-e basically

[@mesaplayer9636]

I see 2 explanations 1. Auto doesn't really show he is omniscient or else why would he even let eve get up to the captain just to show it was empty. Also maybe turning off the probe sending would require the captain to do it so it's just easier to throw away the plant right before it gets to the captain rather than explaining why it needs to be stopped. 2. Maybe it's because auto isn't evil, he isn't hurting the humans and kind of has conflicting orders because the humans left it unchecked. Maybe he still needs to follow his original orders to send out probes and also needs to keep the humans on the ship. buuuuuut technically his directive didn't say anything about throwing the plant away right before the captain takes a look.

[@philardo]

You need to understand that Auto is not sentient or concious. This is not an error on the movie's part, but rather shows what kind of character he is. He's a machine given the two tasks of 1. Sending eve drones to check if life on earth is possible and 2. Not returning, regardless of the outcome. Any human you'd give these contradicting instructions would consider it a waste of resources, but a machine can't think and would just do it. The rest of the robots in wall-e are nothing like that, but I think he's very deliberately the one exception

Typical film would have captain be the villain where he wouldn't want to go back as he "likes his position and way of life" or smth and then wall-e and eve would fight him and make a plan how to get back and then everyone would celebrate their success. Fortunately, unlike others, wall-e did not do that

Wall-e and Eve are the new Adam and Eve! Below a brilliant excerpt, translated in English, from a review of the film by Gabriele Guzzetti: (Title: WALL•E: quale futuro per la femminilità?) “In a garden destroyed and abandoned by its keepers, a new Adam meets a new Eve. The myth of the golden age, revised and updated, has as its protagonists two creatures of the creatures. What is this Adam like? Fully Romantic. A “cavalier servente”, totally devoted to his beloved, in love from the first glance. A small cube, dirty, inadequate, worn out; but tender, loving, characterized by that humility (fertile femininity) that is amazed and knows how to amaze. And the new Eve? Sparkling, modern, with an essential and sharp beauty. Completely different from Adam. From a later generation. Maybe two. White, aseptic and unattainable. A shocking femininity, that leaves the hi-tech Adam astonished and even frightened. If in WALL•E Adamo technology succumbs to love, in Eve/Eva (the homonymy here is more than a clue) it is modernity that has triumphed. WALL•E carries out a humble job (the street cleaner) with dedication, almost with awareness and love: he saves from waste what fascinates him, he furnishes his “home” with things that can make him feel alive. Human. He is moved by a musical that is old even for us. Eve, on the other hand, carries out a “directive”. There is no more inclination, propensity, personal contribution. She is a fully capable, efficient “working girl”, adhering to her own orders. She completely snubs her suitor. It is not part of her plans. The relationship is something superfluous, not contemplated by the programming. Eve therefore appears as the merciless and chilling portrait of a futuristic femininity that is tremendously modern. A fascinating femininity, but one that intimidates and detaches; overly self-confident, cold, egocentric, all oriented towards self-realization. A femininity perpetually on the defensive, whose weapons (and Eve is well stocked with cannons) serve to annihilate rather than seduce. Until something unexpected happens, not contemplated by the directive. A "casual relationship". Eve gives in to WALL•E's insistence, even if only to protect herself from a sandstorm. She enters the world of the little robot, his home. The surgical and tireless analysis of what surrounds her ceases, fades, giving way to an attempt at understanding. A desire for discovery. After a series of surprising objects proudly displayed by WALL•E, Eve is given the most beautiful thing a deep friendship can give: life. And here the audacity of the film reaches its peak: Eve is literally "inseminated". A sprout of life is placed inside her. And this act simultaneously and instantly reveals Eve’s identity and the primary objective of her programming. Once Eve receives life within her, she fully assumes the form “for which she was designed”: the egg. The keeper of life. The principle of life. This place of mystery in which the sprout is woven, nourished, protected. Here is the original content of the directive: Eve is a probe with the task of finding and protecting life on Earth. Even more: Eve has the task of demonstrating that life is still possible! Only women have the capacity for this miracle. Fertile femininity is truly the fulfillment of the directive, it is truly what restores identity, dignity, purpose to an otherwise cold robotic heart. […] Given how it has been presented so far, is “WALL•E” a film that can be accused of sexism? In my opinion, no. Absolutely not. This film is bold precisely because it speaks of the feminine, eschewing patterns or ideologies. What is emphasized is the unique, peculiar, naturally characterizing richness of femininity: the creative force. And consequently the engine of this force is exalted: the relationship between two people. There can be no force without an engine; on the other hand, an engine without force is devoid of any meaning. “WALL•E” is therefore configured as an immediate fable for children, a parable on the feminine for adults. A parable, in fact, or rather an astonished look at a possible daily situation that refers to something much deeper. Beyond the highest systems (interstellar, even), in the end it is always experience that acts as a teacher, life that prevails”.

It’s not a movie it’s a documentary

I'm sorry if this is going sound freaky I've looked at Wall-e himself as almost like a human child in my POV and the kind I would ever want.

AUTO is the best AI villain that has ever existed, better than HAL-9000 in my opinion.

The main villain doesn't have a personality

[@dragonskunkstudio7582]

The perfect film? No! This movie just portrays humans as pure idiots without exception. Yes, it seems that it's the majority that come off that way but only because the stupid ones tend to stick out more. No one is willing to live in that kind of hellscape to let it get to that way over the entire globe. And if they had to get to a ship ya know that some on that ship are going to decide to not ride the floating lazy boy and decide to walk. They are going to steer free of sugar and get healthy. It's a monocultural prejudice.

I think you completely missed the point of how the humans are portrayed. They're portrayed as "idiots" because that's how they were raised aboard the Axiom. It's a dystopian portrayal, meant to show how consumerism has caused their humanity to slowly slip away over the centuries, even to the point where even robots feel more human. Let's not forget that humanity has been aboard this ship for 700 years. The Axiom and BnL are all they've ever known. Their lifestyles are all centered around BnL, to the point where their main "directive" is to simply be consumers, above all else. Given this, it makes perfect sense how they're portrayed in this film.

You can't really do that when all the companies are owned by the same corporation.

I think this movie is extremely overrated. To me, it is the worst movie ever made. Movies like Ponyo was miles better.
