#38 – WALL-E

For Future Classics this round, Nicole chose the 2008 film,
WALL-E. Pixar pulled off two major feats with this movie: making
mountains of garbage look beautiful, and making audiences
empathize with a mobile trash compactor within a few minutes of
the opening music. We picked through topics such as the influence
of past sci-fi characters like E.T. and R2-D2, homage paid to
major classic movies, and the old chestnut of what it means to be
human and the question of if humanity is even necessary for a
character to be multi-dimensional.


Next week is Around the World! Brett's pick? Robert Rodriguez's
'El Mariachi.'
