Wall-E

Katie and I went to see Wall-E last night. This must be the most subversive Disney film ever produced. A post-industrial landscape where human's can no longer survive, all of creation is controlled by a single corporation (Buy n Large), and humans, having been relegated to a space station, are really just a nuisance as machines go about controlling the society. The only role of humans is just to consume whatever BnL tells them to, they've even forgotten how to walk, as they move around on hover chairs that control where they go and when. If it wasn't for a sweet love story about two robots (one of whom creates cities out of compacted trash on Earth), this might have been one of the most stark and depressing views of human's impact on our natural environment. And it is amazing to watch from a visual perspective.
