Film: WALL-E
I finally watched the much acclaimed 'Wall-E' and yeah...Pixar just keeps on excelling; it's amazing how consistently terrific they are.
Discovered this about Andrew Stanton, writer-director, who also had the same credits for, Finding Nemo. So...consider his 'status'!
In an interview with World Magazine's Megan Basham, Stanton explained his singular vision for WALL-E: "(W)hat really interested me was the idea of the most human thing in the universe being a machine because it has more interest in finding out what the point of living is than actual people. The greatest commandment Christ gives us is to love, but that's not always our priority. So I came up with this premise that could demonstrate what I was trying to say—that irrational love defeats the world's programming. You've got these two robots that are trying to go above their basest directives, literally their programming, to experience love..."[1]
Animation flicks are supposed to be great examples of screenwriting, since it's very expensive to create; as such every scene counts, and...typically in every good animation, there is no a single extra scene. And Pixar has just taken every thing to another level. I saw some shorts, which these guys did for 'time-pass'...building their talent and preparing for bigger stuff and...each is bloody unique, highly entertaining, and when it comes to features, well each has what we are taught here - deeper meaning (theme.)
So if you haven't, it would be good fun checking out Wall-E.
Rating ***1/2
