Wall-E is a genuine masterpiece that should, and needs to be remembered with its all to relavent messages.

Wall-E is one of the best movies of all time, touching on some of the greatest issues, and philosophical debates known to man. Let's begin philosophical. Wall-E explores the idea of whether an android can have a conscious or feelings. Wall-E was way ahead of it's time, a decade before Detroit: Become Human, and Wall-E does this so simply and eloquently that most people might not even feel the need to point it out. The theme was integrated so perfectly into the film that some might even add that it almost feels 'background'. Absolutely not however, through the use of some of the most fundamental human social tropes, Wall-E communicates the question of what defines human? Can it be replicated? The robots become so crucial to the upkeep of every single person's life, that one might say they have become almost human in themselves, as they perform all but the tasks that only an individual can carry out, like talking. A robot cannot do that on someone else's behalf of course! You even see this in the end credits on the return of man. Another philosophical point Wall-E explores is the Theseus Ship Paradox, sometimes also known as the Bike Paradox. This is the notion that, if an object is repaired and has it's pieces replaced so that no parts of the structure are original, then is it the same object? This is explored in the ending scene when Eve completely repairs Wall-E. When Wall-E is duly repaired, he remembers nothing for he is, as Pixar appears to believe, it is no longer the same Wall-E. Wall-E only remembers the past life once it connects with Eve through touching 'foreheads'. One might take from this that although an object is no longer the same, it is the connections you have to the object that matter, not the object itself. Finally, Wall-E explores motivation, and the lack of it. At the beginning of the film Wall-E simply performs what he is programmed to do, dispose of waste; but when he encounters Eve, this duty is overcome by love. Wall-E follows Eve until he finds love for another thing, the Earth. You see this when, even once almost entirely destroyed, Wall-E's only message to Eve is to return the plant. We also explore the passenger's of the Axiom doing nothing but calling others, even those they are right next to (beginning of film). Clearly, any adjustment from 'normal' life is too extreme for those aboard the Axiom. Not a single passenger, as far as we're made known, makes an effort to remain healthy, not even the captain of the ship, who himself has no motivation until the prospect of returning to Earth appears.Of course, now we must move onto the main, unavoidable themes of the whole film; those being climate change, corporatism, and waste disposal. In the universe of Wall-E, the Earth become a uninhabitable in 2110. The last message the BuyNLarge CEO sends is in a mask, telling us that the Earth is no longer inhabitable. The captain remarks, upon seeing Eve's recordings "No this can't be Earth, where's the sky?" Showing just how clouded and polluted the atmosphere had become, and how much Earth had diverted and had become perverted from it's original form. Now, of course this all stemmed from the corporate control in the Wall-E world. BuyNLarge appears everywhere, we don't see it in any place but the oldest buildings. Wall-E the film is telling us that if we don't put an end to large companies who don't give two damns, then we could suffer the same fate. The BuyNLarge ships are a 'Good Samaritan' act to an issue they created. BuyNLarge may even serve as a metaphor for the American government, which we know the film is set. Afterall, the American government is one of the world's largest economies, and has served as a base for controversy on what ethical actions a country should be allowed to take. Finally, waste removal. In Wall-E everything is simply made into cubes that are but into towers that rival the size of New York City's skyscrapers to show the severity of the problem. It's a massive structure, one made of a massive problem. One of these towers even collapses on the return of the Axiom to Earth, possibly signifying either the beginning of the end to the problem, or the beginning of the problem coming back. I think it's also worth finally saying, that the steps the Captain takes to fight AUTO, are literally the first steps a person has taken in possibly 700 years. It signifies the return of humanity in it's most infant state, that man cannot exist without Earth. This is further reinforced when in the end credits, it begins with caveman drawings, then Egyptian styled ones, then Ancient Greek pottery, etc etc until modern day art. Truly, it shows the return of a new humanity. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2VdMifN
