Watching the movie Wall-E, it was apparent that many public health topics were intertwined with the storyline. It seemed that public health and the goal of prevention was not an idea which anyone was aware of or intended to implement in their society. I noticed that one of their original problems regarding public health was their lack of environmental awareness and their poor waste management planning. This connection sets the tone for the movie from the beginning scenes as it took viewers on an…
The 2008 Disney film, Wall-e, shows a futuristic reality in which humans have polluted the Earth so much, we are forced to leave Earth behind in search of a new sustainable place to live (Wall-e). This kid’s film is important because it brings up many good points as to why we should take better care of our planet and to not be so caught up in our own realities. The underlying meaning conveyed through the population’s depletion of Earth’s resources serves as a good reminder of the serious issues…
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. Thousands of years…
what is happening in a dystopian story, but the most vital element is their interpretation of the social commentary that is presented in what they are watching or reading. Dystopias like After by Francine Prose, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, and Wall-E directed by Andrew Stanton, all present different futures but they all have one thing in common; Humans have contributed to the creation of the dystopian societies. The stylistic elements that these creators used to bring their stories to life come…
In the Pixar’s movie Wall-E, Wall-E spends his days tidying up the planet little by little. It shows us how we treat our environment and where our future could be headed if we don’t start taking proper care of it. Throughout the movie Wall-E made many points and reasons of how our world could get to the destruction point in an unrealistic way. Drinking food out of cups and restoring Earth from nothing are all examples that are shown in the movie. During the time frame of the movie it shows how…
The movie Wall-E shows a lot of compelling technology such as automatic chairs and holograms, but did you notice the effects this technology had on humanity? When you first see the round, chubby humans in Wall-e, your first instinct was to probably laugh. Once you really think about it, though, that future might soon become ours. Even though most technology is very useful and convenient, our dependence on it can lower our ability to focus, decrease people skills, and decline physical health as depicted…
needs. If the problem of over consuming and wastefulness is not addressed, then life as we know it will cease to exist. Wall-E, a kid’s movie about a robot named Wall-E sent to earth to clean up the waste left by humans, who ends up falling in love with another kindred spirited robot named Eve. In “Consumer Apocalypse: Wall-E,” the author addresses the vision of the creator of Wall-E and how he neglects to speak strongly on behalf of the strong references to how consumerism leads to the deterioration…
At the surface, “Wall-E” is an enjoyable movie about a lonely robot, whose main task is to collect garbage on Earth. Beneath the surface, the movie is so much more, Wall-E is needed to save the planet from permanent destruction, while becoming smitten with EVE. When the audience first meets Wall-E, he is alone on Earth with nothing but a pet cockroach. Even though the planet is deemed as uninhabitable for humans, Wall-E must continue to follow his directive of cleaning the garbage off the planet…
When you think about technology you think about cell phones, television, social media, etc. It can be found all around you, such as in restaurants, at school, and in your home. Machines and technology are drastically changing the way we live. It has changed our cognitive abilities, the way we communicate, and how it effects our bodies. The movie Wall-e plays a big role in showing these changes, but over exaggerate how far they will go. I don’t believe humans will get as bad as those in the movie…
