I finally got to watch it the other night. For some reason, a love story about robots that are trying to save a civilization of fat space people was just so overwhelmingly beautiful! What do you think?

I watched walle about a month ago...the trailers caught my attention, and I thought that it was really cute and all..but it didn't turn out to be what I expected. No offence to Wall-E lovers, but yeah, i know he's cute, but I dont find the story line interesting. In fact, I got bored of it real soon and decided not to continue watching anymore.
happy mylotting!

Bored? Really? Would you say it was from lack of dialogue, mostly?

I find it superficial that you were thrown off by the lack of dialogue. This was the director's choice to SHOW NOT TELL. Love is spoken by actions, not by words. As for audience participation, the movie bears interdependency on the intelligence of audience (which some do not have) to know the character's actions. I do not have to ask you to know that you are stuck in the culture of cell phones, noises, and chatty socializing to work for the mentality of analyzing.
"I love you!"
"Kiss me!"
"Love me or I'll die!"
"Sleep with me!"
You missed a lot.

Wall-e was the first movie I watched in a cinema since moving to the UK a year ago. I really enjoyed it.
Wall-e is a robot whose job is to remove and clean-up a waste-covered Earth far in the future. At the beginning you can see our Earth with mountains of rubbish. It's really shocking and sad to see.
He spends a lot of time working hard and relaxes by collecting rubbish items that appeal to him. He also enjoys watching old TV recordings which make him start to feel lonely.
In due course another Robot called Eve from a far away planet comes to Earth looking for signs of life. The story tells the development of the relationship between Wall-e and Eve and how together they help people re-inhabit Earth.
In the end you can see our Earth becomes green and alive again.
Really funny and enjoyable movie. The developing love relationship between the two robots particularly appealed to me.
What does the film Wall-e tell us? I think the story encourages us to protect our Earth. It concerns a serious environmental protection issue.

No, the film itself is about relationships. It does empathize on selfless responsibility, but the movie is really about just looking at each other and connect emotionally.
If the "environmental story" was central, then why was the memory loss scene present. What was the point? What was the point that this robot was what he was, struggled for centuries alone, loved his lover, selflessly sacrificed himself to help his lover...
But I glad you did notice the love story. Read the posts here. Even through the movie clearly makes the love story central, people are misinterpreting and calling it an environmental film.

I also watched it many times since it's on cinema. the more I watched the more I like it. However I didn't find any thing about politics. It does recall us to pay attention about enviroment. I don't understand why some people in the world critisize the film. from their eyes everything can connect with politics and religion. it's really sad.
i can say it's love story but also enviromental film as so many people pay attention on eviroment after seeing it.

Wall E is really fun to watch. We borrowed it off my mother in law and watched it for our family movie night. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. We laughed a lot throughout the movie. It was a really sweet story. I loved the way they said each others names. It was a little scary to think that the human race could end up like that though.

I loved how they did, too. My favorite character was definitely Mo... The OCD lil thing that just wanted to clean Wall E... =)

Wall E is so cute! I watched it few months back and I would love to watch it again. I think the story line is very good. I wander where they get the food (food in cup to be exact) from since they are living in the space? Where did they get all the raw materials when they kept throwing rubbishes into the space?

Good questions! I'm assuming the robots somehow produced it. After all, it was so far into the future, why wouldn't they be able to chemically produce something of sustinance? And the raw materials? For the cups and whatnot? I'm sure they didn't throw everything into space... Had to have recycled something, you know? I guess that's where the movie went wrong.
