Best Movie Ever
PostedOctober 19, 2009

from Los Angeles, CA
This movie was incredible. It captured the anxiety and exhilaration of being a child perfectly. If you're looking for the next Shrek, this is not it. If you are looking to remember how powerless and lonely and sad you felt when you were 9, how every time you got in trouble, you would feel that jarring drop in your stomach because you were worried that you were a bad person, then this is the movie for you. I can see why children would not enjoy this movie. The movie is about a child but interprets the childhood experience in a way that only adults can understand. It brings us back to the source of our own fears and sadness. And it reminds us that in the end, they're just monsters in our head.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Pixar has the uncanniest ability to breathe humanity into non-human things. In Wall-E, they tackle the least human-like thing of all--robots. It is hard to pinpoint how they've managed to make machines so charming, but they have, and without any of the cheap outs afforded by excessive dialogue. It is perhaps because the main characters are not human that the convincing love story between them is all the more powerful. Wall-E not only reminds us of the classic lessons of love, loyalty, and moderation--it also serves as a stark reminder that the best way to use movies as a medium is not to tell us these lessons but to show them, mostly in silence.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
