I am writing this blog barely a minute after watching the most heart-wrenching movie I have ever seen. And I'm not talking about "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum" or "Hum Saath Saath Hain"....nope none of that saas-bahu sh*t. I'm talking about "Wall.E". Yes, I can understand that you are staring at your computer screen trying to fathom why I would find this movie so moving *chuckling at my own wit here*!
I love the way they start the movie. You know, every movie that is set in New York starts with the camera roving around somehow magically in the sky(I still wonder how they do that!), focusing on the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, the works. In this movie, they show skyscrapers whose building blocks are, well what I call, garbage cubes. And the person, rather robot, responsible for these architectural, ummm, wonders, is, *TA-DAH* Wall.E!!
For starters, I don't think I have found any metallic thing so cute. Wall.E makes me sigh....gosh he is such a little darlin'. The thing that struck me was his personality, and I'm sure you would agree to the same if you have seen the movie. He is such a curious little fella, and that I mean in a good way. I love the way he pokes around at the stuff that we humans wouldn't give a second look to. And he has a nice retreat filled with chimes that are actually made from CDs, and a toaster that actually holds a "Hello, Dolly!" cassette, that Wall.E watches over and over again.
I shouldn't forget to mention Wall.E only companion on Earth....the cockroach. Now under normal circumstances, I would lose my mind and kill a roach if I saw one, but this roach was adorable I tell you! Love it!
Now Wall.E finds himself head over wheels(hehe) in love with EVE. She is one tough cookie who has been given the job to determine if Earth can be inhabited by humans, who are actually in a spaceship named "Axiom". Soon, she also starts to like Wall.E(who could blame her?! He is so cute!). But then she discovers the plant that Wall.E had found in one of his "garbage cube making expeditions". And she is whisked of to Axiom. And our Wall.E, being the lover boy that he is, hangs on to the spaceship that going to Axiom, all for EVE *an "AAAW" moment for me!*.
Do the humans come back to Earth? Does EVE fall for Wall.E? Where is my butter popcorn? Watch the movie and you'll know!
