WALL-E continues to charm me, and always brings tears to my eyes. Perhaps I'm too sentimental. I believe that, although the movie presents us with a unique and unusual love story between two robots, the main intent is to alert us to the serious danger we face on planet earth. Through exaggeration, Andrew Stanton (the film’s writer and director) forces us to take a hard look at ourselves. How much are we in the year 2012 already like the residents of the Axiom space ship? In the film, humans float in chairs, speaking through screens to someone right beside them. When our robot protagonist, WALL-E, interrupts Axiom residents, they begin to notice things around them (“I didn’t know we had a pool!”). Perhaps my tears come because I know that attractive distractions are more than any person by themselves can withstand. That leaves me feeling hopeless rather than hopeful, as if I am witnessing a last reminder to our species, one I am afraid we will miss. Thus, although the movie is often funny, it is just as often heartbreaking, notwithstanding its happy ending. For anyone who cares about current events and our badly damaged earth, I highly recommend viewing WALL-E.—201 words

The movie, ”Wall-E”, is impressive and attractive animation. It sets in the distant future on the planet Earth covered with waste. It represents our real lives with the robots acting by computer system. Two main characters are a robot, Wall-E, who cleans up the massive trash on Earth after everybody left Earth because of the serious toxic waste and an advanced robot, Eve, who comes from a spaceship with the directive to search for signs of vegetation on Earth. Wall-E falls in love with Eve. Although this movie is two main robots’ love story, the important purpose is to warn us about global pollution which we produce in human being's life. I feel overburdened with worries about the future all the way through the movie even though I often feel funny. Through the rich content and various characters, this movie gives many massages to us(people living in a consumer culture.) I can see his warm-hearted (but, we become cold-hearted gradually) watching the scene that Wall-E worries about even its death when he steps on a cockroach. The scene that Wall-E discovers a green plant growing among the trash gives us a glimmer of hope. We should protect the Earth for the next generation before it’s too late, so I strongly recommend everybody to watch this movie. (217words)

The movie WALL-E is about a little robot whose true love rebuilds the relationship between humans vs humans and humans vs the earth. The movie is presented by Walt Disney in 2008. The ragged robot’s devotion touches my heart. He works hard to clean the garbage-filled earth and always entertains himself by collecting treasures from the garbage dump. He loves to find useful parts for repairing his own body and rocks himself to sleep at night. The film’s director and writer, Andrew Stanton arranges a feminine robot for WALL-E’s lonely life. WALL-E falls in love with Eve at the first sight. The love story develops romantically into a climatic rescue of the humans and earth. Although the whole movie has a lighthearted tone, the audience can sense the warning of danger. The human-like WALL-E interrupts the social order of the Axiom residents, and they begin to realize that they are closely related to their neighbours and environment. Stanton tries to make us think deeply about how we treat our environment; we might destroy our beautiful earth by producing mass garbage. WALL-E seems to be another cute animation about robots for children; however, there is an underlying warning about the future of planet earth. I recommend WALL-E for sure. (208 words)

Wall-E is an animation movie, which the two main characters, Wall-E and Eva, are the robots, but both of them act like human beings. Wall-E works alone in the earth, which becomes a waste forest and where there only has a living creature – cockroach. He not only enjoys living harmoniously with the silence and the cockroach, but also gets pleasure from colleting many collections form the trash. When Eva, an advanced robot, comes from the Axiom space ship, Wall-E falls in love with her. At first, she is cold and unkind, but eventually she is moved by Wall-E’s true love. While Eva’s engine stops functioning and is took back to the space ship, Wall- E follows to the space ship in order to save Eva. At the space ship, he not only helps Eva to come back to work, but also assists the passengers of the space ship to return to the earth. I like the story even though it is an animation film. It raises the alarm to us “Stop wasting our natural recourses and stop relying on the high technologies”. The most importantly, it shows much humility that our society needs. Thus, I will recommend Wall-E to my friends. (201 words)

Wall-E is the one of my favorite animation movies, which gives me gentle emotion from their pure love story between Wall-E and Eve. The movie sets in 2805, when mankind are left behind the earth, covered by toxic garbage for 700 years. A robot named Wall-E has a duty of cleaning the planet earth, and after he discovers a living plant in the massive trash ground, his love story begins with Eve, who comes from a spaceship to search for a plant. Their love scene in the outer space is beautiful and Eve’s desperate rescue for Wall-E brings me thrilled and overwhelmed. Through this film, Andrew Stanton (the writer and director of this film) alert us to the danger of the earth from destructive environmental element; however, the modern technology is continued to develop various tools by human. Like the scene of fatty people of Axiom residents, sometimes, we may dream about their life: convenient, recreational, and unbeholden life. Fortunately, in the film, a living little green plant gives them hope to return to the earth, where they are from. Although I feel warned by this movie, giving a message about our future, I believe that, like Wall-E and Eve’s love, our love for the earth will keep alive in our mind. That’s why I recommend this movie to you. Words 220

I really liked watching the movie “WALL-E.” I enjoyed the main character WALL-E, the last robot that compresses the trash on earth with the ability to have feelings even if he lacks text knowledge. Because WALL-E can use emotions, he becomes attracted to EVE after she lands on Earth, analyzes all that she needs and interacts with WALL-E to his storage pod that he has shelter in. One of my favorite parts of the movie was when EVE went into sleep mode after completing her task of searching for a growing plant, to inform that the planet is once again livable, and was taken away back to space with WALL-E going after her by catching the rocket back to the spaceship she came from, because he cares about her and enjoyed her company. Overall the movie is a good one if you like non-average robots with close to human personality traits and would definitely suggest people should go watch “WALL-E.”

I’d like to recommend you to watch the Disney’s cartoon “WALL-E”. It’s a post-apocalyptic science fiction written and directed by Andrew Stanton. The story predicts about the future of Earth in the next century. Meantime, our Earth will be covered too much trash to sustain life, so the CEO of BNL decides to abandon Earth and leaves robots, the WALLEs, to clear the Earth. In the spaceship, people enjoy the life of full-automation and do little. 700 years later, they degenerate to be morbidly obesity and cannot stand, for “There’s no need to stand.” At the same time, Capitan B. McCrea sends EVE, a robot for evaluating vegetation, to Earth. EVE meets Wall-E, two robots fall in love. EVE brings the “seedling”, presents from Wall-E, back to Captain. The seedling is a proof that Earth is still habitable. Capitan declares to restore Earth. Overcoming many troubles, people eventually return back and stand on the surface of Earth. The conflicts between “return” and “no return” are intense, attractive. This movie is worth to view both for you and you children. It benefits children for enlightenment. It benefits adult because it forces us to take a deep thinking about the future of our Earth.

WALL-E is an interesting animated movie. It represents our future with robots. The movie shows a space ship is carrying all of the humans to the space, who evacuated Earth 700 years earlier. There is a big chaos on Earth and is not sustainable for humans. In this dangerous scenario where no signs of life left, a robot WALL-E has to clean up the mess. WALL-E is alone on Earth except his (mate) cockroach. (the only living thing) One day another robot EVE is sent to find life on earth. WALL-E falls in love with EVE and saves her from dust storm and lightning. He also shows her a plant in her shelter where he collects treasure. EVE takes plant in and automatically switches off. WALL-E doesn’t understand and tries to activate him. Space ship comes to take EVE back but WALL-E chases her by dangling himself outside the ship. Inside the space ship people floats in chairs and speaking through computer screens. WALL-E interrupts the Axiom residents, and they starts to realize their neighbours and environment. WALL-E is a cute character that evokes the feelings of love and care among humans of space ship and reminds them to return to the Earth. The movie reminds our neglecting altitude towards Earth as well as our growing needs. I highly recommend to everyone to watch this movie.

The movie “WALL-E is a fun movie and shows us the planet Earth’s possible future that makes me feel guilty and think about how I use this precious Earth. In the film, WALL-E, a faithful and cute cleaning robot piles garbage to the side without any complaints where huge mountains of garbage is piled up. Then lonely Wall-E met a pretty female robot named Eve (he cannot pronounce Eve properly so he calls her Eva), that search for living things on the Earth, and falls in love. Another important scene in the film is the Axiom people where people moved from deserted Earth, live in ubiquitous technology world that enable people to have a comfortable life, the dream of the world that we want to have more in the future in some way. Consequently, they became obese and lose their functions of the body. When two robots finally succeed to show the planet to the captain, the captain believes the world is sustainable and moves to save the earth with people. I recommend this animation movie because this is not only a fun and loving story but it also educates people to take care of the Earth that we take for granted

My favorite scene in the movie is the cans and the high rises. There is a warning signal from the movie. People on the earth destroyed ecosystem. At last, all the people were died without food and oxygen. Our earth becomes yellow color, many empty cans, no plant and no life. Nowadays, many people use can foods, cut the trees for industries using, many cars emit carbon dioxide every day, and many chemicals destroy the atmospheric layer, All of them will destroy our planet seems as the scene of the movie. The robot in the movie “Wall-E” is the machine to clean our waste. I am very interested about the small plant and the cockroach. The plant had been brought to the space station. All the people in the space station know that the green plant is very important for human. They have not seen a plant for a long time. So, the captain decided to bring the plant back and to build on our earth. I will recommend my friends to see the movie that they will know about the future of our world and do something to save our earth.---192 words

The movie Walii-E is deceptively simple and interesting animated movie. It represents the negligence of human beings towards Earth and humanity. In the movie, Walli-E is the last of his kind, a robot created to clean up the piles of trash left on Earth. The humans themselves evacuated Earth and live in spaceship. Although the movie is a love story between the two robots, but it’s also a story about saving small things and cherishing the world we live in. Through Walii-E’s behaviors, Andrew Stanton (the film’s writer and director) reminds us human characteristic which are no longer seen in high-tech environment. Unlike human in Axiom, Walii-E comes across a more sympathetic robot who cares every living thing left on Earth. While the people in Axiom, flying on chairs which give them non stop feed of TV and video chatting make them completely cut off from person to person contact. It is really unbelievable when Walii-E deactivates the screen of Axiom resident then the lady on chair wakes up and sees the beauty around. That makes me worried about the distant future of earth which is perhaps going to be worst because of massive production of waste. I highly recommend it to my friend for this movie which gives us a message about saving Earth.

Yu-Min, beautiful World 郁敏的世界風情 said...

WALL-E deeply touch my heart, and let me to think about it carefully. Two robots, Well-E and Eva, are full of gentle and sincere love in their eyes. They often help and love each another. When their finger intersect together at first time, their eyes present their love each other. At the ending of the movie, Eva take Well-E back to Well-E 's home and do her best to save Well-E's life. When Eva are disappointed to Well-E, yet Well-E finger handshake hers. Their eyes flow with their love again. At an instant, I burst in tears ,and I think they are human undoubtedly. In contrast, human who live in the planet are like robots. They sit on the floating chair and only stretch their hand to take food or beverage easily. Their bodies get fatter and fatter and their action are more clumsy. I think they will become robots soon. Next, two robots shape are completely different. Eva is streamline and fashion; however, WALL-E is ugly and old-fashioned. They obviously show strong contrast. Moreover, the director skillfully put some broadways songs and old-fashioned things into this animation movie. He shows modern and tradition fusion. I highly recommend viewing WALL-E.—199 words

The movie WALL-E is a good animated film to watch. It is about a robot named WALL-E compacting trash throughout the abandoned city with a small cockroach. WALL-E later meets another robot named EVE who is sent to planet Earth to find some kind of life form. WALL-E falls in love with EVE the moments he sees her, he protects her from a dust storm by taking her back to his truck where he lives. After the storm has passed, WALL-E shows EVE a plant. EVE takes the plant from WALL-E and enters in a deactivated state with a green beacon. WALL-E not understanding what is going on protects her from lighting, rain, and wind. One day a massive ship comes to take EVE away and WALL-E follows. The ship is filled with humans who have been evacuated 700 years earlier. Because the humans been on the ship for such a long time they are all overweight and hovering on chairs. By the end of the movie everyone comes back to earth. I find WALL-E to be a good movie because it shows us a message of how the future can be like if not taken care of, there is love between two robots, and it is funny in many ways. Therefore I would recommend this film WALL-E to a friend. - 220 words -

WALL-E is animated movie. It talks about the future for our planet, and how we are damaging it. The main characters are tow robots. One of them “WALL-E” work on the earth in the future after 700 years from now. He is responsible of cleaning the earth. The other one called “EVE” which supposed to be a female robot and more advanced. Her job was to find life in earth. Both robots fall in love and they have a nice adventure together. This movie is not realistic at all. And the earth will not be filled with garbage after 700 years. And in future if they make a robot, they will make them to be able to communicate with each other and with humans too. I will recommend this move for teenage or youngster. I didn’t really enjoy watching this movie. Robots with feelings, inelegant cockroach, human with huge body and small bones, crazy robots, that is not my type of movies.

Can you imagine what will happen if we do not protect the environment of Earth and how the human will become if we continue our materialistic live style in the future? WALL-E, the amazing film will show you. WALL-E is a computer-animated film that won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. The “post-apocalyptic science fiction film” is set in 2805 to tell a story about the romantic adventure between two robots, WALL-E and EVE. In the story, "WALL-E" is designed to clean up Earth far in the future for the humans have abandoned the planet that covered in trash as the result of the environment pollution. The overuse of technology also causes the human change their live to get far away from nature and humanity. The film shows us in a funny and romantic way. When WALL-E and EVE are touching their hands and sitting together to watch the sunset, when the old love song “La Vie En Rose” are being sang by Louis Armstrong, that are attaching our heart. The communication of two robots with only their eyes and simple sounds also interested me for the saying “The eyes are the window to the soul”. Somebody described the film as “black humor” but I’d rather recommended it as the humor Revelation for everybody. (217 words)

The film, WALL-E, is an impressive animation presented by Walt Disney in 2008. The two main characters, Walle and Eva, are both robots and has mission need to be completed. Walle, a recycling robot, is the only moving thing left behind when humans run away from Earth. His duty is clean up the trash and makes it into little cubes. Eva, a detective robot, is one of the robots whose mission is searching a living thing (a plant). This movie is very appropriate to every age. From a 10 years old child’s perspective, the movie is full of interesting and romantic scene. But, if the movie is showing to adults, it becomes more meaningful. It tells us how many damages humans do to the Earth and reminds us how great Earth is, and we are too depending on technology that the residents on the Axiom space ship are shrinking (the bones are become smaller). In the scene, Walle and Eva are dancing outside the space ship. They capture Mary’s and John’s attention. It also has some irony in this scene that two robots show love to humans. We always say that robots are cold and non-feelings, but in WALL-E, it reverses it and shows love can be very simple. Therefore, I will strongly recommend to every group of ages to watch this movie.

WALL-E is an interesting and animation movie, which the two impressive characters, the ragged Wall-E and the pure Eva, are the robots in 2805, but their act like and exceed human beings. WALL-E is a diligent and prolific worker to clean up a waste-covered Earth and always collects treasures from the garbage dump of human badly damaged Earth. He discovers a seeding plant among the trash and his love story begins with Eve who comes from a spaceship to search for a plant. The movie is very funny, but I felt vary blue. In the film, fatty humans can’t stand and walk, floating in chairs, speaking through screens in outer spaceship. Through exaggeration, we feel overburdened with worries about global pollution which we produce in human being’s life. I hope Earth’s environment as depicted through a series of artworks during the end credits, making Earth and humanity healthy again. The important purpose is to warn us about protect the environment against pollution and our neglecting altitude toward Earth as well as human growing needs. Two cute robots’s action of protect the Earth than our. This is a sharp satire on human. I highly recommend to everyone to watch this movie. (201words)

For sure Wall-E puts smiles on our faces, however Wall-E doesn’t just bring us entertainment, but wakes us to see the harm that could happen to earth (if hasn't happen already). It shows us how humans will be distracted by technology as it shows in the movie, people are seating on their electronic flying chairs and all they do is talk to the screen in front of them and everything else is happening through the computers; the computers are controlling humans. It choses their food, clothes, weather, and time. Could this be called living? Is this part of human nature? The movie Wall-E was a huge shock when I thought it could be our future which makes me sad and worried. The movie Wall-E was one of the best animated movies I have seen although it was very touching and gloomy. However, it has a happy ending which give us hope as well. I strongly recommend Wall-E to those who care about their lives and earth. [168 Words]
