The movie called: ”Wall-E” is about a robot that was supposed to be cloned and sent to clean earth,but humanity has left planet Earth and has left Wall-E with alot of garbage to clean, not knowing this, Wall-E made a home out of all the garbage he collected throughout the years, but although mankind has abandoned Earth, they send a new robot named: ”Eve” to search for any signs of life on Earth. but Eve is not really interested in Wall-E, seeing that he is not really as technologically advanced as she is. He introduces her to his home but Eve decides it is about time she begins searching for any remaining living lifeforms on Earth, she then finds a small plant that Wall-E was keeping in his home. She scans it and then hibernates/shuts down. After hibernating/shutting down, Wall-E finds some ships that came to return her to the spaceship that now has humans in it. Wall-E then follows where Eve is going and all the humans seem to not care about him.

A group of humans along with Wall-E find a group of robots that are malfunctioning and is captured and thrown with them. Eve finds out about this and then decides that she will save him.

They then meetup with the captain and his robotic advisor, and fight the robotic advisor with the help of the captain to return to Earth

Idea—- Stanton developed the metaphorical theme of the humans learning to stand again and ‘grow[ing] up’, wanting WALL-E and EVE’s relationship to inspire humanity because he felt few films explore how utopian societies come to exist.

Character description

WALL-E is a robot that was left behind on Earth to clean up the mess while the humans vacate and live on a spaceship. At the start of the film WALL-E has been alone for hundreds of years so he has developed a glitch, a personality. WALL-E is fascinated by the world that surrounds him and even though he obeys his command to clean, he sometimes finds a thing or two that he keeps for himself because they’re interesting.

The captain is responsible for the thousands of citizens that inhabit the Axiom. Life in Space appears desirable, however an excessively comfortable lifestyle has sacrificed the health and livelihood of its inhabitants. Robots and advanced technologies religiously dominate the functionalities of the spaceship, displacing humans of their original responsibilities. Captain longs for a profession that extends from the repetitive menial tasks required of him, and is stunned to learn that EVE has returned with a promising source of life.

Auto is the main antagonist in film whose main objective is to stop the ship from returning to Earth. The Auto units are robots built by the Buy N Large Corporation and designed to function as the autopilot aboard the streamliner spacecraft.

EVE is Wall-E’s love interest, who is a dedicated, concerned, brave and caring character. EVE is sent to Earth to search for plant life and causes a great disruption causing fire by her cautious nature. She is heavily focused on her job, to find plant life on Earth and is greeted by the friendly WALL-E on Earth who is going through his everyday routine of crushing rubbish into square compartments. EVE is reluctant towards being friends with WALL-E due to her strict idea of following orders and dislikes being interfered and does what she is told.

Key Scenes

Climax- When Eve realizes the only way to save Wall-E from dying is to return to Earth for his spare parts, she goes on a mission to return the plant to the captain once more.

Some of the techniques used are “extreme wide shot and Pan” when the camera showed space near the start,

Also “zoom” when wall-e was holding on to the rocket

These are the most common feature in the film and are seen in most scenes.

It is a very entertaining film and its worth watching
