In the end, even if I am not a masochist, I cannot be satisfied by any means. The plot logic of wall-e's death in the end is the script that has been paving the way and rendering, ending with his amnesia, which is very logical. So the final treatment, I would rather understand it as the director's helpless action to prevent the children from watching it in a bad mood, or to prevent the adults from scolding the mother. But maybe I'm thinking wrong. Who knows, after all, apart from this ending, there are still many things worth feeling about this film.
Critically, the claim by 13 is that the film refers to the "alienation" of humans, specifically from primates to pig-like creatures. A lot of movie reviews have mentioned this. But from another point of view, the film seems to be much gentler about monopoly capital than the satire of those fat people. Apart from causing human degradation and environmental pollution, the business empire (BNL) that spans the entire human society does not seem to have caused more uglier events. On the contrary, this business empire is still striving tirelessly for human beings - building the "Axiom", launching the "cleaning plan" and "reimmigration plan", eliminating class differences and making people's lives "happy" and worry-free . Even if BNL's actions are regarded as compensation for their own evil deeds, it is not bad compared to those businessmen in the real world who have done their best to hide their wicked deeds.
But if you think about it, you will get some interesting inferences.
First, who are the crew of the Axiom? As the flagship of BNL's interstellar flight, the crew on the Axiom is unlikely to come from the bottom people. It is like traveling on a luxury yacht, which is very expensive and cannot be consumed by the working class. Then, the first passengers on this ship should undoubtedly be the powerful and powerful people on the earth at that time. In this way, it is clear why the "people" on this ship can live a flamboyant and decadent life - not because the extreme development of productive forces in the future will be enough for people to live like this, and class has really been eliminated. , eliminate inequality. In fact, as in all times from ancient times to the present, only a small number of the upper classes of society (and their descendants) can live this comfortable and safe life. On the other hand, no matter how large and advanced the Axiom is, it is impossible to create a simulated biosphere that can accommodate many, many human beings. Those who can enter this ark can only be the so-called high-class people.
So, what are these so-called superior people? The number one Tianzi is undoubtedly the management and administration of BNL. and then? Senior government official? Not necessarily, because in the 22nd century in the story, the world's regime has merged with BNL's business leadership, the president is also the president (Prisident). No force can restrain BNL's misconduct, and no one's values can override BNL's commercial interests. That's why BNL hurriedly came up with some remedial plans after getting the earth to that point - if they don't do anything, they'll be done for themselves! It is conceivable how much harm they have done to the entire human race before this.
The way these people deal with problems is basically like a rogue who is resigned to fate - "I have done everything I can, but I really can't help it, I can only let things go as they are". As a result, after 700 years of super During the whitewashing process, the original sinners lived happily and happily, and their descendants became Adam and Eve of the new era. No one has ever thought about being held accountable (and there is no way to be held accountable), everything is like a blank sheet of paper that can be overturned, and the cheating eraser "time" can be used indefinitely.
Do you know what this new world reminds me of? "Wolf Rain", "City in the Sky", "Leibovitz's Praise" -- in short, karma, the cycle of fate.
