I really liked the first half of the movie. In the earth 700 years later, there is no sign of life, there are lifeless city relics, large deserts hit by wind and sand, everywhere are desolate and decadent. The almost static picture is telling us the side effects of human civilization and the serious consequences caused. Our protagonist, Wall-E, is the only robot on this planet that can still work normally, and still, according to the responsibilities and missions set by human beings, drill into the stomach of countless wastes, piles and piles. After generating block-shaped standardized garbage, it is ejected, and then stacked into a huge building like a high-rise building. These metal garbage piles of buildings are not only the hard work of Wall-E's long-term work, but also symbolize the ruins of civilization left by human beings.
Although Wall-E has rigid rules in his work, in his life, he has the same sensibility as a human being: he has carefully arranged a small house with complete family belongings; every day when he comes home from get off work, he will bring out the singing and dancing videos of the past people. Play and enjoy it with taste; take the cricket as a pet and feed it with cream biscuits every day; know how to remove parts from a robot companion that has lost its function, in case of emergency; the most lovely thing is his collection habit , will collect lighters, scoops, CDs and other small objects that are strange to them from the garbage, and take them home for sorting and collection. I believe that Wall-E put the plastic spoon with the fork into the fork and the spoon, and the dilemma that he didn't know which category should be classified will definitely win everyone's knowing smile.
The change of life comes from the alien visitor - a female robot Eve with an avant-garde appearance and advanced technology. Her arrival changed Wall-E's peaceful life and state of mind. From love at first sight, stalking to head-to-head encounters, we know that the romantic love program has already started in the cartoon. Wall-E excitedly took Eve to visit his little home, took out the video of the song and dance and shared it with his sweetheart. When Eve saw the only green bud that was just born on the earth, she immediately went into hibernation according to the program settings. The child Wall-E immediately began to be worried and worried, and began romantic activities such as boating and watching the sunrise with the unconscious Eve. She held a small umbrella to shield her from the wind and rain. After being struck by lightning, the first reaction was to change quickly. Take an umbrella, infatuation is a big piece. And when Eve was taken away by the spaceship, Wall-E, who had already fallen in love, the only thing he could do was to hold on to the railing of the spaceship without hesitation and follow the trail.
The second half of the film is compared to the example cards, mainly two robot children, with the crowd on the BNL spacecraft, returning to Earth to save the original world of mankind. In the second half, it is not so much to gradually push the climax of the story as to complete the task of telling the story of the film. And the festive movements of the whole film are mainly displayed in the warm and moist situation in the first half of the film.
The theme of this film is another typical example of seeing the big from the small, reminding people of the concept of environmental protection, arousing people, especially the urban groups, yearning for and pursuit of pure emotion, and also through the transformation of the thoughts and actions of all passengers on the BNL spacecraft, Stimulating the individual's self-awareness and collective sense of honor, these are all things shown in this film. Starting from the story of two little robot characters, with the background of the grand environment, the delicate emotion of compassion and the heavy care for the lightness of life are the intrinsic motivations that make this film lingering in the heart for a long time and unforgettable. Although this film has the appearance of animation suitable for all ages, it shows the mode that fine art films are accustomed to operate. From this point of view, it is similar to classic films such as "Gone with the Wind", but it is a more Q and futuristic fashion version.
The Pixar production team, with their sincerity and creativity in producing a high-quality product every year, with their rich and delicate imaging technology and film language, packaged the simple and simple feelings, gently put them into the hearts of moviegoers, and then stationed in us. The purest and most environmentally friendly area in the heart. I believe that even after N years and N months, none of the audiences who have been touched by Wall-E would want to expel such feelings from the country. They have added a humanistic landscape with robots playing the leading role in the world, and created a precious vivid example of "one flower, one world, one tree and one bodhi" for the film industry (if you don't understand this sentence, please See note at the end of this article). I know that this kind of argument is super profound and has surpassed the capacity of this film review, so let's stop there.
In Hollywood, Pixar, which has been acquired by Disney, and DreamWorks, which takes the spoof route of "Shrek", are the two strongest forces in today's animation films. In the years of PK, regardless of box office or word of mouth, Pixar has always been able to use a more solid script and animation technology to win, at least it is tied with the score. In the first half of this year, DreamWorks brought a "Love Letter to China" and "Kung Fu Panda" to the Chinese people's big screen. At the beginning of the year, I saw the first trailer of "Robot Wall-E" on the Internet, and it was nostalgic that the footage of Wall-E and the pictures of Pixar's masterpieces over the years were processed in series. From this, I saw Pixar's composure and self-confidence, but despite this , I still have a lot of question marks about how many surprises a rusty pick-up robot can bring to fans. After watching "Wall-E", my doubts were completely dispelled.
Zhou Huajian sings in a song, "It's called being vulnerable if you can't hold back, and it's called silence if you shout for a long time." Standing quietly in a certain corner very casually, it is really boring, so I occasionally show one or two real skills, do some tricks, and then return to the original corner after playing, and continue to enjoy life quietly. We do not deny DreamWorks' investment in "Kung Fu Panda" and the quality of the film, but we all know that there is a very simple word in Chinese called "strength"!
At the beginning of the year, when I watched "Assembly", I was always full of tears and deeply moved. At the end of the year, when I watched "Wall-E", following the picture, I always naturally showed a knowing smile on my face. I don't know what this is called, but I'm just willing to put it on the pen...
Note: Regarding "one flower, one world, one tree, one bodhi"
Wilde once said: "one flower, one world, one tree, one bodhi", is a Western Human understanding of Zen.
As a pure entity, a flower has no meaning in itself. This is where its emptiness lies, so it can be endowed with the meaning of a world. Similarly, a tree sees Bodhi because of its emptiness. Empty can contain objects; I think the universe is all-encompassing because of its emptiness. All things in the world are "big" because of "emptiness". So make yourself empty to accommodate others.
"Empty" is not "empty", although people like to use "empty" with "empty". "Empty" is real. Can you say that the universe is empty, all living beings are empty, and human beings are empty? It is said that people will go to a place called "Forgotten River", where the soul will wash away all the memories of its lifetime, and then enter a new body. But losing memory is always reluctant, so when the new body is born, the first action is to cry for the loss of my memory. The human heart is originally empty, we fill it up, then empty it out, refill it, and empty it out again... When the mouth and
nose are stuffed, it will feel stuffy, and if the heart is stuffed, it will be meaningless. People say "the human mind is infinite" because it is empty. If the heart is filled with all kinds of desires, or darkened by repressed emotions, what is "infinite" at all? The wind blows outside the window, and the branches dance in the wind, which is where its bodhi lies.
My heart is swaying, but because there is still room for swaying in my heart. There is "emptiness" in the heart, and if there is "emptiness" in the heart, there is an infinite space for thoughts to gallop, for the restless heart to settle down, and for all hatred, jealousy, boredom, and dissatisfaction in this endless "empty". in all its insignificance.
Flowers are free, only then can the next world be accommodated. Trees are also free, so that they can become Bodhi with infinite Zen; hearts are also free, so they have high ambitions, so they can be calm in the face of stormy waves, and they can face harm and ridicule calmly.
People all have different ideals and outlooks on life. We can’t control other people’s thoughts. All we can do is to live our own life well, how to live it, and what you want to bring to others. It's your own business.
I wish that in the next life, when I attain Bodhi, my body will be like lapis lazuli, clear inside and outside, pure and flawless.
