A Comparison Of The MovieWALL-E And Idiocracy

Take a moment to imagine the realization that a young boy came to when two of his favorite movies had a large plotline that was somewhat based on the problems of trash. Wall-E, the famous Pixar movie, was based on a small robot that was left behind on Earth’s surface alone. His job was to clean the garbage that the human population left behind when they went into space to escape their problems. Toy Story 3, another Pixar movie, contained a scene with garbage that was vital to the plot, in which the characters are rescued from a trash furnace that was consuming literally tons of trash a minute. These two movies tried to make the American population aware of the ever growing trash situation, however, Americans quickly forgot about the Earth shattering situation that they are causing. The solution to the world’s trash problem is easy; people need to be educated on the problems of trash and given an easy way to fix it. People should be required to visit a landfill, educated on the severity of the trash problem, and should be rewarded for changing their habits to improve the problem.

We constantly hear we are in the ‘age of technology’. It’s crazy how much technology we use on a daily basis. It has become so routine to have technology incorporated into our daily lives that we don’t realize how much we rely on it. Who would have thought Pixar’s animation Wall-E could have so much technological awareness incorporated into the plot. The director of Wall-E created this movie with a universal message of what will happen to our society over time if we do not stop relying on technology.

People often write off animated films as childish and lacking any depth. However, the movie, Wall-E, points a large microscope at our society and our potential future. In the movie Wall-E, it’s a robot name Wall-E and Ben Burtt’s play’ him. Also, there are other characters is Eve and Elissa Knight play’s her. There's a that they go on because the planet earth doesn’t have a living plant except one. They have to place the plant in the place that the plant will go so they can get to earth. The Captain is played by Jeff Garlin and, the Captain had a hard time to get the plant into the deposit that it’s supposed to go in. Satire is used for humor and poke fun at a thing that is happening like when the place is in the chair they are too lazy to get up and do their own things. Also, they have the robots bring them the food. It pokes fun at humans because humans are lazy and us humans what other people or robots to get are things cause the humans made robots so people wouldn’t have to get up. They also wanted to show what happens to the earth if we don’t take care of it and, it will turn all to trash and doesn’t look like a nice place to live. The director Andrew Stanton used the movie, Wall-E, and satire as a way to criticize and comment on technology and environment in our society.

Many people obsess over technology, In the movie WALL-E people take it to a whole other level of technology. The movie takes place 700 years from now in a dystopian earth that has become uninhabitable. People have floating beds, robots and more! The creators of WALL-E used several examples of satire and symbolism to portray the theme that we shouldn’t let technology take over.

Although the movie strictly focuses on the robot WALL-E and his love interest with the high-tech robot Eve, the audience is still able to understand the true meaning behind the critically acclaimed movie. The animated film portrays a futuristic reality of the implications of today’s society. In today’s modern society, consumerism is an everyday fact of living. Society is constantly encourage to purchase goods and services to the point where there is no longer a realization of the influence companies have on people’s daily lives. The movie has left the audience to question how society could lead the planet to such a state where it is virtually uninhabitable by humans. The film is “an exaggerated extension of our consumer-driven lifestyle whereby convenience and complacency have supplanted personal liberty” (Krier, 2008). A consumer-driven lifestyle can be seen in the movie through the use of clever depictions of Buy-N-Large in the film, however overconsumption is also a part of many cultures today, including the United States. The film depicts that humans have made the planet uninhabitable through

In WALL-E, humanity is put in a situation where earth can no longer provide them with a safe place to live. Without the role of technology in the making of a humongous spacecraft capable of occupying the whole human race, the people of earth would not have survived the consumer apocalypse. Not expecting to spend thousands of years in space, the president formed a cleanup plan for earth with the use of robots named WALL-E. Their job was to collect all the garbage and make the planet clean for the return of the humans.

The second global implication for this movie is concerning technology. In the movie humans are living in the future on a space ship because they cannot return to Earth for it is uninhabitable from all the waste. When we are introduced to the humans they are all wearing red clothes, are fat and lazy, and are all sitting on chairs either watching television or on telephone calls on tablets. That we are too dependent on routines and habits that make us distracted and not able to make our own decisions. When Wall-E ends up accidently bumping into one of the ladies she realizes that her clothes have changed color and that she finally opens her eyes and sees everything from a new perspective and realizes that she does not have to be dependent on technology.

In short words, Wall-E is the story of a robot who was designed to clean up an extremely polluted Planet Earth. This animated movie has a much larger meaning than expected – it explains what can happen to our planet if we keep consuming the way we do. As indicated by the movie, big corporations and greedy consumers destroyed our ecosystem. A planet that was full of nature, water, fuels, animals and vegetation along with many other things simply vanished because of a society that consumed too much. It is a pretty scary thought to watch this movie and think about how we are on a process of doing the exact same thing. With a huge market of major retailers in the world consuming more than necessary is easier and easier each day.

This poster talks about how we waste our scarce resources. This poster is made of text, images and shapes. the images are the images of the toilet seat and the globe. The shapes are circular and the text is “Waste” and “Water.” Once these elements are integrated we get a clear picture of what the designer is trying to convey through this poster. The message is to create awareness of how people tend to waste resources, especially water. I believe that this poster communicates its message successfully as the message is very clear and bold.

In the opening scene of the movie, happy music plays in the background. You expect a pristine look, yet the Earth is covered in trash and pollution. It is a very ironic and upsetting scene. Moments later, you see WALL-E trying to clean up all of the trash. WALL-E rolls over a newspaper by the “B N’ L” president stating “there is too much trash”. This is also irony because the newspaper itself, is trash. Soon after, EVE lands on Earth and WALL-E instantly visualizes her as a romantic interest. WALL-E even takes EVE on the stereotypical date. They went on a boat ride, inscribed their names on things, and watched the sun set on a bench. The boat ride is on a bunch of tar water, WALL-E inscribed their name on a rusty light post instead of a tree, and they watch the sun set on a rusty old bench surrounded by dirt and rubble. Satire is a very important aspect of

The film Wall-E is a dystopia that took place 700 years in the future. In the begging of the story, the earth is filled with garbage and without plants or animal life. The surviving humans were living in a spaceship called Axiom. The plan was that humans would live in space for 5 years while a robot called Wall-E cleans the earth. However, even after 700 years there was still no one on earth except for Wall-E. Wall-E spends his days cleaning the earth and picking up debris. He had

Energy production waste is one of the leading causes of ocean pollution. Marine life extinction has been very prevalent in the public eye in recent years. One of the animals most in danger of extinction is the sea turtle. Images of a baby sea turtle walking into the ocean near a power plant would have been seen as a death sentence in the past. This ad use of pathos appeals to people sense of emotion by showing them images of cute baby sea turtles, and successfully encourages them to believe that nuclear waste is a cleaner alternative than traditional coal energy.

Even though previous Hollywood films such as I, Robot, Terminator and The Matrix depiction of mankind's tryst with technology is extremely grim; humanity in WALL-E too is shown to be lifeless and depressed — though it is toned down a bit.

Wall-e is a children 's movie about capitalism and the future consequences of buying into such ideals. It proposes that society would be better off with "wholesome lifestyles" ("Argument Analysis") and less consumerism. Professor Humphreys presented three critiques and four interventions, about the film so that we could analyze it with theories learned in class. She also plays the "devil 's advocate" to argue that "capitalism has destroyed not only the planet, but also humankind, specifically, Americans" ("Argument Analysis"). She proposes that the film is not about the revolution or change that it pretends to be, by using Queer theory and post-structuralism.

In the writing of this paper the author uses Ecocriticism as the main theory and the movie Wall-E (2008) by Pixar Animation Studios and directed by Andrew Stanton as the object of analysis. The story follows a robot named Wall-E, who is designedto clean up an abandoned, waste-covered Earth far in the future. The author feel interested and challenged to analyze further the learning about the growing issue of Ecocriticism because of disharmony of nature with other elements in nature itself.
