Comment On Wall-E
I really enjoyed watching sections on the movie Wall-E. On YouTube, and reading from the clippings of the two websites posted in the blog. This is a kid’s movie that will capture the hearts of children regardless of sex or culture. This lonely space creature machine seemed to have been on a quest for happiness and finding Eve made his life complete. The movie portrays him as this lonely robot in need of love and guidance. He finds Eve and immediately begins to display human-like characteristics; such as falling in love.
Without the readings I would have just taken it for granted that Wall- E and Eve were a boy and a girl, but now I have to stop and think, “What if they are the same sex? Their state of heterosexual is assumed by society. This has been a big problem in our today’s society; assumption. People are too quick to label others, or serotype individuals into categories of their choice. The movie is not depicting any particular sex. It shows one robot falling in love or showing special interest in another one of his kind. However the critics and viewers have come to the conclusion that the smaller and more smother robot-Eve is a girl while Wall-E who looks more rough and tough is a boy.
Our society has become so judgmental that people are not willing to view things and people from different angles. This is because we have allowed our minds to become closed and instead have developed a one track mind. Most behaviors that adults display are learned by children of young minds, who will believe what their mentors say or do. I believe it’s a fair statement to say that; individuals should have the right to decide who they want to be and what roll they want to play, once it’s not interfering with anyone else life. And that people should be given a chance such as; “Get to know me before you judge me.”
