new hollywood film WALL-E

Written and directed by Andrew Stanton, WALL-E, is a pleasant surprise
of the year.

You have rightly guessed Andrew Stanton is the same person who made us
fall in love with a bunch of goofy fish in "Finding Nemo," He said to
a magazine that idea about WALL-E came about when his Pixar gang was
having lunch back in '94 while working on the blockbuster hit that
announced the arrival of CG animated movies in no uncertain terms –
"Toy Story." The whole idea of the movie is simply brilliant, those
creative people at Pixar have accomplished the near impossible –
they've outdone themselves once again.

Story

In the not so distant future, humans have quite literally trashed the
planet to the point it's uninhabitable. With no means to sustain
themselves – the plants have all died or are buried under miles of
garbage – humans have fled in luxurious spaceships where their every
whim is satisfied by robots. After hundreds of years living in space
not having to move a muscle, we've devolved to the point of being fat
couch potato globs that vaguely resemble the Pillsbury Doughboy.Back
on Earth, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class)
goes about his lonely job of compacting trash. It's what he was built
for and programmed to do, and there's no reason for him to stop. He
was inadvertently left turned on when everyone took off, so he goes
about his work each and every day with only an indestructible
cockroach named Hal for company. And after hundreds of years of this,
WALL-E has developed a personality. He's an inquisitive little guy who
collects weird items of trash that he then uses to furnish and
decorate his home. He's also developed an affection for Hello, Dolly!
and watches the old VHS tape over and over again.
Hello, Dolly! has taught WALL-E about holding hands and falling in
love, and the lonesome robot has dreams of finding that someone
special. After endless years of waiting,
WALL-E's shot at love appears in the form of a glistening egg-shaped
drone named EVE. EVE was sent to Earth to check for any signs of life,
and our little WALL-E falls head over wheels for this state-of-the-art
metallic cutie. He wants nothing more than to make a connection with
this beauty, but EVE's not on the same wavelength. Fortunately,
WALL-E's a persistent suitor and when EVE's sent back to report her
findings to the people on board the Axiom spaceship, WALL-E goes along
for the ride. Nothing will stop this starry-eyed robot from being with
his EVE, not hundreds of thousands of miles of space travel, evil
robots, or weird jelly-ish people who've lost all concept of what life
on Earth was like before their ancestors all but destroyed our planet.

How I felt about the movie

The animations are stunning. The sound design is perfect, the little
dialogue there is is witty, and the story flows smoothly without a
single unnecessary minute to slow things down. There are few important
messages directly addressed to our policy makers, planners,
governments in the movie they can learn alesson or two about
protecting mother earth's environment. And it's definitely a
cautionary tale about our reliance on technology to do everyday tasks
for us. But above all, WALL-E is simply one of the most romantic tales
ever put on film.A must see movie.
