The Hidden Morals Behind "Wall-E"

If you have watched the Pixar animation movie, WALL-E, I am sure you are entertained by the various elements of funny moments and some sad and touching moments inside the movie. But how many of you have actually decipher the hidden morals behind this animation movie?

I am writing with the understanding that you have had watched the show before reading this blog entry.

The first robot, WALL-E, is the typical jack within us, industrial, working for a living, leading a typical happy-go-lucky life.

The second robot, EVE, is the gal with the mission. Nothing will burden her in her search to finish the mission, blasting her way through all dangers.


------------------------------------

The first moral:

Zoom into the midst of the movie, when EVE have found a plant and has achieved a milestone in her mission, she happily deactivated herself, waiting for the spaceship to retrieve her. And all this while, WALL-E was trying to shelter her from the rain, shine, etc, showering her with undivided care and concern, endangering his life with all the lightning strikes, and expecting nothing back in return. All was in vain as EVE hardly even noticed. The mission is the only thing that matter to her.

Zoom into the next part of the movie, when EVE was delivering the plant to the spaceship captain, with WALL-E tagging along behind. During the commotion EVE discovered that the plant was missing at the captain bridge and getting labeled defective and after that was wrongly accused as a fugitive due to the actions of WALL-E, she blamed him without much thinking and quickly tried to send him away back to Earth in a escape pod. The mission is the only thing that matter to her.

Zoom into the next part, when EVE finally managed to sneak into the captain's pilot room, and finally delivered the plant to the captain, and when the captain (who is curious about the things going on Earth) projected her captured images, EVE saw for herself all the care and concern that WALL-E has given to her and she finally understood all the things that WALL-E has done for her. This was after her primary mission is completed.

Moral of the story: In life, we are blinded by our pre-set objectives in our mind that we remained oblivious to the events unfolding around us. Such is our narrow-mindedness that we sometimes realized things too late.

------------------------------------

The second moral:

Looking at the passengers inside the spaceship, enjoying their life. All are doing the same things, when the announcer tell everyone the change in fashion from red to blue, everyone switches without questioning. This is our life indeed. We are hostages inside our society so much that we are lost within, like a frog inside a well. All the frog see upward is the blue sky, and all we see are our mirror images reflected by the people around us.

It takes a fall caused by WALL-E on the guy called JOHN that he fell down from the hovercraft he is on and suddenly he realized that he does not know what he is doing and why he is in red colour. Likewise, the same for the gal called MARY whose hovercraft knocked into by WALL-E too. Together as JOHN and MARY stared outside their window of their spaceship at WALL-E and EVE dancing around space, they realized something called "Feelings" within themselves.

Moral of the story: Life is not about genuflecting and looking up to society for divine fate; it's really about lowering your head in humility and honesty and asking yourself what is actually within yourself.
