Wall-E is the best movie of the year.
That's it.
Maybe some more. Wall-E is the most sensitive, heartwarming, tear jerking, inspiring, thought provoking movie this year. Maybe this decade, I can't remember what's come out.
Pixar has out done themselves again.
This little square robot has you following his every move with excitement and anticipation. He is so well written, that I could have watched a 1:45 movie where EVE hadn't even gotten there yet.
The heart that went into Wall-E (figuritively, it's not a cyborg movie) makes you love him right off the bat. But when he starts interacting with EVE (a female scout robot) and then the humans in space, you can't help but want to be like him. He affects every life he touches. And though, curiously at first, sometimes, always for the best. Granted, it's a kids movie. But why should that fact denegrate the idea of being kind to all those around you and curious about everything? If anything, we need to be more like Wall-E.
Some people I know told us that we shouldn't take our kids to see this. Their reasoning (besides the fact that they are 26 year old single people) was that the movie was too quiet and not a lot of talking happens for the first 20 minutes. They're sweet. And naive.
Movies started being made a long time ago. Then after they had been around a while, people started thinking about how to add sound. Originally, sound was on a record that was synched up to the film. It's kinda why film has a countdown with beeps, so you can line it up. But even before sound, people went to movies. And the best part about a movie like this and little kids, the kids get it. Emotional beeps and boops convey all the information that needs to be heard. And Wall-E being a robot, allows over gestured reactions and faces that put the point home even faster. KIds who don't talk yet, like mine, communicate through babble and gestures. They get Wall-E too well. My son thought one of his boops was so hilarious, he mimicked it 5 or 6 times, right there at full volume (3pm matinee with 400 other kids and at least a few were doing the same, and I was reminding him of inside voices. I'm not that guy).
This movie has a myriad of things going for it, even a vicious plot to keep the humans from returning to Earth. There are plenty of reasons to take your kids to see this movie or go alone, but my god, see this movie. You can't help but be moved by it.
