Wall-E


Enviornment
In the movie “Wall-E” the year is 2105 and the Earth is covered in trash and it is not livable. Therefore the human population is forced into space and they have to live there since the Earth is unlivable. When in space there are robots named Wall-E who are sent by an army to clean up the Earth and restore its living conditions. But after 700 years all the robots disappeared except for one and the Earth is still a mess. Wall-E is the only living robot, but he soon falls in love with a probe named Eve, they travel into space in hopes of saving humanity. My reaction to this movie is that I believe it shows a good and accurate view of the future. Most movies scare you into believing bad things about the future, but this movie shows a different side of the future. This movie is aimed probably to let the young children be aware of the problems of the Earth. They present the problems of the Earth in a lighter way so the younger population won’t be afraid of the future. They provide them with facts and knowledge about the Earth and how we are pollution the environment and maybe one day the Earth will be so polluted that we might not be able to live on Earth if this problem of pollution continues. Yes, this movie is helpful because it talks about the Earth’s problems in a lighter way, aiming at a younger age group because they are the ones that can make a difference and help the future be a good and clean place.
The purpose of this work is to show the affects of pollution and how the Earth can be ruined in the near future if we do not take the positive steps toward cleaning up the Earth. Everybody needs to help to clean up the Earth. This is why I believe that this movie is intended toward the younger kids because they are the ones that can make a difference and they are the ones who will be our future. Not the old people because they are going to be dead by the time the Earth is near disaster, people need to realize that what we do now will greatly affect our future. The specific techniques used to achieve this purpose are the robots all disappearing after 700 years on the Earth. This is a technique because robots are meant to be indestructible. But since the Earth was so polluted the robots could not survive on Earth because the conditions were unlivable. This suggests the severity of the pollution that could be on Earth in the near future if we do not take the right steps forward now. The overall effect of this work is that it lets the human population know in a funnier, lighter way that the Earth is being destroyed but it is not too late. It can still be fixed but we need everybody to work together to fix the problem of pollution on Earth.
In this movie the word “human” means that people are selfish and only care about themselves because they are ruining the Earth by polluting it. People only care bout themselves so they keep polluting the Earth because it is not affecting them because they are going to be dead by the time the Earth is drastically seeing the effects of pollution. The humans who are supposed to be helping the Earth are instead harming it by polluting the environment. In this movie they polluted the Earth so bad that they had to move into space because the Earth was no longer suited for living.
Our depictions of the future reveal that the present is moving in such drastic speed that it might already be too late to try to save the Earth. All of the movies are coming out about the future and how bad it is going to be, and maybe they are right. Maybe they can predict the future because of the way we are treating the Earth right now. The Earth right now is a very fragile place and we might have already pushed it too far and it could be on the brink of destruction. The Earth is a very powerful place and the more we harm it, the more it will harm us in the future.
In this movie they used images and language to manipulate our minds by using the robots in place of the people. They forced the people to move into out of space so the robots could clean the Earth but instead of cleaning it they were actually all destroyed except for one robot, Wall-E. By picking the robots to be eliminated on Earth instead of the people make the movie appear to be a lighter film regarding the future. If they chose the people to be eliminated then it would just be like all the other movies about the future, people would get scared.
