WALL-E, a Disney’s Pixar movie, shows different themes that relate to the competing visions of space culture. These are the post-apocalyptic and futuristic view, of humans being able to live in outer-space with advanced technology facilitating their everyday lives. The film starts out with a hot-steamy, deserted wasteland which used to a thriving city before Earth became uninhabitable and ecologically trashed planet. WALL-E, the main character, who is a romantic, collector of artifacts and robot trash collector, is left with his friend, a cockroach, to help clean up the Earth. After seven hundred years of civilization living in outer-space, aboard the axiom, a spaceship sends Eve, WALL-E’s true soul-mate, a new technology robot, back to Earth to look for any living-proof of life-sustenance. WALL-E falls in love with Eve. Eve
Science fiction is a fairly new genre compared to many other literature styles but is one of the most relevant and evolving literary classifications. It is a huge genre that encompasses many different types of stories such as dystopian, utopian, superheroes, and more. Science fiction is primarily used as a reflection of society as well as a forecast of what current society could become. Science fiction is argued to be a “Gedankenexperiment,” or thought experiment, because it conveys deeper meanings on where society is heading and forces the reader to challenge their views about the world. Science fiction uses a human centric theme that includes changing variables to create a thought experiment which
Science fiction is broadly defined as a film about the future or alternate realities, often but not always set in space, and frequently incorporating horror elements, science-fiction movies are wildly popular among fans (Goodykoontz, 2014). As a subgenre of fantasy, science fiction enables viewers to relate to themes from an idealized alternative version of reality (Edwards, 2014). Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is a feature-length film that fits this genre perfectly. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope unfolds as princess named Leia is held hostage by the evil Imperial forces in their effort to quell the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Luke Skywalker and a smuggler named Han Solo team together with the lovable droid duo, R2-D2 and C-3PO, to rescue the beautiful princess and restore justice in the galaxy.
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.
In the film Wall-E (2008) there are two main divides in technology that guide our interpretation of the film and its themes. There is the technology of the past, seen on earth, and the technology of the present, seen on the Axiom in the film. Both of these help depict the status of Earth and the potential fate of the future. We can also think about the future in two ways based on what the earth, as well as the humans have become. Using both of these lenses we will analyze technology and its role in the film.
The film Wall-E is related to the science and description area because it talks about the environment and what can happen in the future. The film starts with a robot named Wall-E and he has been assigned to clean up Earth from all the waste that the humans have left behind. It shows him coming out of his house that is full of little different things that humans would think are trash but he does not know what they are and considers them treasures. As he is performing his duties he hears another ship land and drops off another robot named Eve. Eve’s mission is to find any living
WALL- E is an animated Disney Pixar movie about the future of our planet, Earth. The opening scene is a futuristic reality of our planet becoming a waste-covered landfill. WALL-E is a robot that is designed to clean up the mess and pollution humans have made throughout the decades. This movie is not only child friendly, but also is recognized as a critique on today’s society.
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.
Brave New World, a dystopian novel written by Aldous Huxley, depicts a dystopian world of the future in which sex, social class, and orthodoxy are focused upon. WALL-E, a Disney Pixar film, also dystopian, epitomizes a prospective world of obesity, emphasizes the consequences of mistreating the Earth’s resources, and displays technological advancements. The two are not to be confused with a utopian society - one in which the future is depicted as quintessential. Dystopian societies similarly focus on the future, but rather one that depicts a deteriorated planet. Though Brave New World and WALL-E highlight different morals and lessons to be learned for prevention in our current day society, the two share qualities of hedonism and unlikely futures.
Science fiction has been defined in a plethora of ways. Ask 10 connoisseurs of the genre for a definition, and one shall receive 15 different explanations. Definitions range from the concise "What science fiction writers write is science fiction" (Card 11) to long-winded essays on the topic (particularly one by Groff Conklin.) The typical encyclopedia entry on science fiction describes the genre as a form of fantastic literature that involves scientific/pseudo-scientific advances- that might be oversimplifying it, however.
Wall-E is a Disney Pixar movie that was set 800 years into the future. In this world, Earth becomes overpopulated with around 200 billion humans that contributed to an environmental disaster which caused the big mountains of garbage Wall-E goes through everyday. In response to this disaster, an organization called Buy N Large offered to clean up the mess and sent all of the humans to a space ship called “Starliners.” Soon after five short years, Buy n Large chose to dismiss the planet all in all on the grounds that the air had ended up toxic. The people stayed in space unbothered for 700 years, which is when Wall-E becomes an integral factor. Upon a spaceship a probe named Eve who is on a mission to check whether there is life on Earth finds a plant which might be an indication of life and takes it back to the spaceship to tell the people. Wall-E profoundly infatuated with her followed her onto Axiom, which is one of numerous Starliners running in a
When thinking of science fiction stories and films, their concepts and ideals seem far out of our own world. The beauty of science fiction films is the ability of them to take the audience to a different world to excite the feelings of awe and wonder, making us leave the realism and probable behind. These alterations from ordinary life and reality may take away from authenticity, but science fiction can prove to resemble more of our society when analyzing the societies and advancements created in these films. All the sights, sounds, characters and narrative details in Star Trek (2009) portray a conservative and liberal perspective towards a future society, where other movies in this genre mainly stick
When reading that passage, my mind went to a similar but different place. I immediately compared it to the movie Wall-e in which they sent all of the citizens of earth on a vacation in which they fed the people so much food and gave them so many things that they did not even realize that the world they had left behind was being destroyed. The leaders knew that if they kept the people occupied, they would be able to succeed with their plans all along and no one would even notice. I can see the same thing with your example of slavery or even with Hitler’s rule during World War II.
The genre of Science-Fiction otherwise known as Sci-Fi has been around for a very long time. The genre got its roots from early Greek mythology, but the first true example of Science-Fiction was the 1902 film Le Voyage Dans La Lune in which viewers were taken off of the Earth for the first time. This can be evidenced by, “Science Fiction films have been with us since 1902, when Georges Mélie’s 3 minute epic Le Voyage Dans La Lune” (Wilson). It has become one of the most iconic genres pushing out classics such as Star Wars in 1977, Jurassic Park in 1993, and more recently the Avenger’s series in the 2010s. The key elements that make a science-fiction film just that are futuristic technology not yet seen in today’s world, settings in alternate
Wall-E is an animated science fiction film that was produced by Pixar and directed by Andrew Stanton in 2008. The setting, at the beginning of the movie, is a futuristic depiction of planet earth covered in garbage and filth, which sets the foundation for the environmental message. The creator also uses dancing and music throughout the movie to set the mood for the development of a relationship between Wall-E and Eve. The creators throw in lots of symbolism throughout the movie in order to show what earth/society may come to if we do not change our ways.
