Machines Teach Men :: Wall. E.

There are a lot of movies based on the cynicism on scientific developments esp. many on AI. Nevertheless these movies are interesting. Though I am perfectly positive about any scientific development I am fan of such science fictions. These movies let people think outside the box. Infact the term robot is coined by a literary person, in  1921 the term "robot" was first used in a play called "R.U.R." or "Rossum's Universal Robots" by the Czech writer Karel Capek. The plot was simple: man makes robot then robot kills man!

Wall E. is one other similar movie but it's a completely animated movie in simple turns it is a cartoon. This gave the movie the freedom to visualize fiction well. The movie is based on the alarming increase in waste and growing pollution that makes our beautiful planet extinct. So humans resort to live in space.

The quest for a planet possible for life continues. Survey robots are sent to earth and other planets to find vegetation. One of the old model robots left on earth for cleaning up the waste in earth encounters one such survey robot. This old robot develops feelings for the survey robot.

The climax is that the two robots love each other and they get people back to earth and they release people out of their machinic numbness.

The feelings between the two robots is beautiful picturised. The movie also gives an insight into the future of the planet and shows us what our greedy developments ll do to our wonderful planet. Nevertheless the movie is very enjoyable.
