Lets Talk-- WALL-E

First of all, I this is one of my favorite movies. Its characters are genuine and pure which is definitely a refreshing experience!

However, there was certain this things that I was bothered by. By this, I'm referring to the clip that demonstrates human dystonia (displayed below). Through out the scene, various impressions of human activities are portrayed. Like, eating habits, communications, living arrangements, etc.  Basically, a gimps into the future if you will. 

  Sneak Peak

Why does this not sit well with me?

the simple fact that is contains many truths that we hold today so its like foreseeing what could become of mankind, and it is a depressingly hard spoonful to swallow.

To elaborate, I feel society is well on its way to little or no physical human interaction with one another causing a negative effect on civilization social development.

Such as shown in the last 30 seconds of the clip. 

As the camera glides through the crowd, notice a man, by the pool, he sluggishly shouts, "...Shade!" and a robotic assistant flings an umbrella over him which provides his shade. Also take note, that no one around the pool or anywhere else is talking, touching, or just enjoying each other's company. 

Another discouragement I felt was, just passed the two minute point of the film during Wall-e's first train ride. As Wall-e attempts to be more near Eva, he is completely unacknowledged by the women between the two of them. Despite desperately waving his arms in front of her, he is unable to receive any of her attention until accidentally disabling her projection. Her reaction is unbelievable! It appears that she hadn't ever turned off her screen and looked at anything around her. It is truly misfortune when a person's environment is alien to them Not to mention, the depth of stimulation it took Wall-e to get her attention. This reminds me of how everyone is too preoccupied with their electronic devices (phones,iPod,tablets,etc.). So much that, in order to get most people to pay attention, an obnoxious approach is the only way to be successful.

Ultimately, this movie only implies a mirror into what could become of the world. With that in mind, anyone that has taken time to analysis the tedious details surely can see its comparison to how the world functions today. With that in mind picture this, decades from now, everyone has  become more lazy, on their electronic equipment constantly, and have the attention span of a raccoon. 

.....Hmm.. remind you of anything?
