Melanie and Melvin discuss one of Pixar's most celebrated, most loved movies, Wall·E!! From consumerism to essentialism, from despair to hope, Wall·E has it all!
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 29-minutes discussing why some Pixar movies may not have connected with audiences, as well as the concept of remastering early Pixar features (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Wall·E says a lot despite having very little dialogue.
- Products and tools are best utilized as life-enhancers. When they become life itself - something that is functionally impossible - they become self-destructive.
- Wall·E is full of theming but it is also easily palatable for children (and adults) who simply want a fun adventure plotline.
- Community perseveres not on consumerism but on cooperation, communication, creativity, and contribution.
- Prior to The Fall of Man seen in Genesis 3, God had already instated both work (the act of carrying out various strenuous actions to complete goals) and the Creation Mandate (to subdue and care for the whole Earth; or, God's creation). Although the curse God put on man after The Fall introduces some changes to how we engage these functions, they are still good and can-and-do produce good in our lives when we fulfill them.
- The way the music in Wall·E helps to communicate in place of dialogue is exceptional.
