I recently had the chance to catch Wall-E for the first time with Krystalle thanks to the magic of Netflix-On-Demand through the XBox 360. It was an absolutely delightful film, but I walked away from it slighly troubled by one aspect of the film – The state of humanity thanks to technology. I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, but let’s just say that the advances in technology as depicted in the movie are not quite so beneficial to the overall health of mankind. Wall-E was a very clear warning sign about the dangers of living a pleasure-based disposable lifestyle.
Unfortunately it appears in some ways as though the predictions made in the movie have the potential for coming true.
