Duration: 4:39
Description:
I'm uploading this video to make a point about the dangers for human kind, if we become addicted and cover all our needs, through the internet. This started from a discussion, about e-learning in my university class, and how education would lose it's very important role to socialize people, but it's also a lesson for human kind.

Apr 25, 2012 - just logically, wouldn't Auto want the humans to be healthy so they could have offspring? and you know, not die at 50
rockcentuar Says:
Apr 25, 2012 - He would actually need them to die at 50 to keep population stable and not strain resources

Apr 27, 2012 - This is where the human race is heading. Obesity rates on the rise, 'google glasses' being released, being told what to do and what to think, being lazy and having everything handed to us. It's scary how accurate this representation is of the direction humankind is going.

Apr 30, 2012 - It's strange that a company like Disney would make a movie sending such a message.

May 10, 2012 - They're dissimulating the that this is them and by extension us. By pretending that this is a "future" and therefore fantastic problem (albeit one we can recognise really today, at a remove), they get to pretend as though this isn't how we already are. By sitting in a theatre, sipping soda from a giant cup and pretending that we could avert the "future" we're watching if only we had some revelation about ourselves at present, we purchase ourselves to live the fantasy by self-removal from it.
Sinadins Says:
May 10, 2012 - But clearly, some people noticed the parallels between the future and the present. . . So it's strange that they would send such a message, when they could have made their profits with no message at all.
dROUFrank Says:
May 11, 2012 - But there is no "future" here for there to exist a "parallel". It's just a movie which was written by people living in the present and as such it's about the present. It's the movie-makers talking to the audience about what they think the audience wants to hear. The "futuristic" setting of the movie is just a fictionalisation of the subject, and all fiction is disavowal. It lets them invent pretend distance from what they're describing. It dissimulates our self-awareness about this stuff.
dROUFrank Says:
May 11, 2012 - If the movie had no "message" there would be no profits because no one wants to see a movie that has nothing to say to an audience. It just so happens that today's audience (many of them) is really self-conscious about being unhealthy and technologised and alienated, so we like to tell ourselves that we are and congratulate ourselves on noticing that we are. By fictionalising our self-awareness into the "future", we get to forget temporarily how uncomfortable our self-awareness really is.
GuardianOfNonE Says:
May 16, 2012 - Honestly, I say forget about any "messages" or "themes" this movie is sending, and just take it as what it is: a phenomenally original story, with a phenomenally original method of storytelling. Andrew Stanton (the director) himself has said that the movie isn't meant to be a promotion of any particular moral. It's just a great story. Which I could watch over and over.

May 16, 2012 - Anyone seen that new invention by Honda? Its like a segway...only you're sitting down. So yeah, they've now created a device where you can now "walk" from place to place while sitting on your ass.The future in Wall-E doesn't seem that far off now...

May 17, 2012 - You wanna be a big lard ass in an electric chair?
IncrediblyRacist Says:
May 17, 2012 - It's "Idiocracy" in cartoon format. Same message. Stop being lazy lard ass retards.
WlEDERGEBURT Says:
May 17, 2012 - LOL
IllChrisBrownYou Says:
May 18, 2012 - Honda just invented the first step towards this... thats sad
EddieHawkinsII Says:
May 20, 2012 - @Raguleader Theyre also not lazy, really. Just unchallenged. Just look at Captain McCrea. In his first scene, he expresses his frustration that the only thing he ever really does on the Axiom is the morning announcements. Through EVE, WALL-E, and the plant, he becomes determined to go back home, eventually overcoming the challenge of Auto and directive A113.
EddieHawkinsII Says:
May 20, 2012 - @EddieHawkinsII Forgot this: through that statement in his first scene, you see that he is not lazy and wants to do more but is stymied by the complete automation of the ship.

Apr 15, 2012 - Wow, I would hate to watch the world become this.
