Wall-E: The Lonely Robot

The experience of "WALL-E" is a little different from what audiences will take away from it. In the moment, it's intermittently transcendent, heartrending and beautiful ... and busy, repetitious and boring. But in memory, "WALL-E" should grow, because the weaker parts will drop out of mind, while the moments of sheer brilliance, which are one-of-a-kind, will gain in importance.

WALL-E is the robot who compacts the trash and places it on the piles. He has one friend, a cockroach, who's the only thing left living (cockroaches can survive almost anything), and, all in all, it's a bleak existence in a desolate landscape. But here's the touch of genius: WALL-E collects things. Whenever he sees something he finds interesting, something that he somehow intuits isn't trash, he puts it in an old cooler and brings it home. WALL-E is drawn to signs of life; thus, his fascination with his old VHS of "Hello, Dolly," which he watches obsessively.

For as long as it stays on Earth, "WALL-E" is a great film, and on its way to being one of the masterpieces of the decade. But then it leaves Earth, and, once it does, it goes into pedestrian territory. WALL-E and a companion probe named Eve (who is very white and sleek and looks like something made by Apple) go back to Eve's spaceship. They go to bring back a small plant that indicates that Earth can once again sustain life.

The spaceship scenes are not without charm or imagination. The spaceship contains all that's left of humanity, thousands of people living on the equivalent of a luxury liner, with all their needs attended to by robots. Because they're lazy and never need to move, the people are all enormously fat. The spaceship has become its own culture, having been flying, with the human species in exile, for 700 years.

Once WALL-E and Eve arrive on the ship, the story doesn't have much distance to travel, but ways are found to stretch out the experience - and that's where "WALL-E" goes wrong. The film loses touch with the poignancy and profundity of the Earth scenes and becomes gimmicky, slapsticky and cute, with a glossy sheen in contrast to the grit of the opening.


This film focused on human and computer interaction called robot. This movie shows so beautifully the work of human hands. Humans created robots so that robots can help people to do their jobs. Robot that have been given the ability of artificial intelligence such as neural networks capable of providing the robot to learn from their environment.

Although currently in real life it is difficult to implement, people still find a solution with such a precious creativity. Such as robots that have been created by the Japanese, specifically the creation of scientists from Honda, which is Asimo, who can follow the movement of people and able to interact with humans. However, current technological limitations are the limitations of memory and the device can support the AI itself.
The human race is eventually encountered, but the tone with which they’re depicted is muddled. They are a little too easily redeemed for my taste given the catastrophe they created back on Earth and ignored for so long. Without giving too much away, I think it’s a missed opportunity for the film to portray humans as victims of their own technology (too ingenious for their own good) instead of creatures with a disappointing tendency to do or create anything that fosters a sense of blissful ignorance. WALL-E makes a couple cute 2001 homages here and there, but it neglects the deeper, darker Kubrickian theme of humanity as a race paradoxically bent towards its own demise.

The development of robots, as portrayed in the movie WALL-E is so charming and very interesting. People can be coupled with computer equipment capable of walking, talking, serving, and even be able to give an opinion on us. But it also gives a negative impact on human life. Interface is quite interesting to make people negligent and easy to be empowered by his own robot. We still have to provide limits on the work of creation. a tool may be seen as a remarkable work, if the tool also gives us a lesson for the better. Tools may like humans, but humans should not be such a tool.
