3. tOPIC/film OVERVIEW
Industrialization & Pollution
The topic for Industrialization & Pollution is defined as Industrialization is
the period of social and economic change that transforms a human group
from a society that depends on agriculture into an industrial one. Pollution
is the introduction of contaminants into the environment that cause
adverse change.The film Wall-E demonstrates these underlying issues
through out its story.
Wall-E is about a robot whose main directive is to compact all the garbage
left on the planet by the humans while they are out in space living on a
ship called the Axiom. Wall-E develops a personality and eventually meets
another robot by the name of E.V.E. Her main directive is to find
vegetation and to bring it back to Axiom. When we get to the Axiom we
see that humans haven't really changed their ways regarding consumerism,
technology and corporate involvement.
4. tOPIC/film OVERVIEW
Industrialization & Pollution cont.
B N L (Buy n large) is still running the government and people
consuming their products. The people rely on technology and
are not able to fully interact with other humans other than
through a gadget. The need for the next big thing is the cause
of the overwhelming amount of pollution and garbage. Which
piles up all around the planet including Earths orbit, where we
see it being released into outer space. We see that we humans
have still not changed and they haven't found other ways to
dispose of the waste properly, leaving the planet completely
destroyed environmentally.
5. Film Introduction
Wall-e
Wall-E is a Pixar film based in the future where two
robots fall in love with one another, but this movie gives
a deeper meaning. It is connected more with the
takeover by the industries and of the humans that once
lived on Earth. Leading to an increasing quantity of
trash and garbage piled into gigantic pyramids covering
the face of the Earth. With no humans to be found on
Earth, they move their lives into outer space where they
are controlled by robots and high technologies. Human
beings become obese with lack of exercise and are being
transported by self-floating chairs. With nothing in their
own minds to think or do for themselves. They forget
about the past and those whom once lived on a place
called Earth.
