old age

I may be too outdated. The DVD I borrowed in December, I just watched it today.
The cartoon is not shot like this, there is not even a single line of dialogue, and when the future is still uncertain, it was only the 30th minute, and I was moved to tears.
Maybe a married woman is more sentimental, so she will sigh as always when she sees the old complex.
At the thirtieth minute or so, Wall-E was amusing himself in the rubble. When the earth becomes the most distant border town, although the sun still rises, the land is in ruins. Even human beings have given up everything to live in outer space, only Wall-E is the "person" who sticks to it, yearning for warm old songs, traditional love and "holding hands and growing old together". On the earth where only one cockroach survives, when the sun sets, Wall-E plays ping-pong with himself and fantasizes about his lover.
until Eva showed up.

The scene of Wall-E playing table tennis alone at dusk reminds me of Wong Kar Wai. And when Eva appeared, Wall-E's complex of wanting to hold her hand countless times, and Eva's violent and glamorous character, also reminded me of Hong Kong movies. There are also the crazy robots who rebelled behind them, and the micro-rescue between these down-and-out robots, which is full of a strong Hong Kong-made movie style.
This is the legend of Wong Kar-wai. At the end of the world, he thought that life was just like this. An unruly man who entertained himself and knew his own feelings, met the only love in his life in a barren twilight and a dusty situation. And that woman is a typical Hong Kong drama woman, violent, domineering, and kind.
And, of course, Rose Life and Kubrick. Everyone can see their own memories from this movie, find broken parts of memories, ipods or lighters in the ruins of the earth.

The cultural heritage of American filmmakers is also hidden in some of the deconstructed jokes in the film. For example, Eva brought back the "Truth" from the earth, in addition to her mission target - plants, there is another thing is a lighter. The task of Prometheus is handed over to a robot here; and Adam, who is with Eva in the Bible, is the only villain in this story. He incarnates the A113 automatic navigation robot in an attempt to control the entire truth. not let humans return to earth.

Yes, all the fashion elements, nostalgia, eco-friendliness, ipods, moon landings, aliens, robots, are in it. Children can popularize what is "land", what is "sea water" or what is "love"; environmentalists have good materials; iPod fans can laugh at themselves; NASA can continue to ask the government for money; cultural scholars can continue to Discuss the Prometheus complex; religious people can also pursue Adam's past life. As for me, a married woman holding a box of tissues and shedding tears for the first love movie of the year. I'm so sorry, but I still yearn for it when I see the story of the old days.
