Well if you are looking for a reminder of how Americans over do EVERYTHING and need to see what the world is going to look like because we have to do everything at an extreme then I have a movie for you! The delightful children's movie WALL-E. Wall-e is a tale of a robot who was left on earth to clean up after the filthy humans as the humans go live up on a space ship and relax and get away from all the trash. Of course the government promises that these little robots will have everything cleaned up in 5 years and when that doesn't happen they end up floating around in space for the next 700 years , all the Wall-e robots die and the one lone Wall-e is left to use them as replacement parts whenever he breaks. The humans of course don't learn there lesson from Earth so for the past 700 years they have been polluting space with their trash as well. They all float around on these huge chairs and get fatter and fatter and fatter and they have a computer screen in front of their faces at all time so they forget to look around and don't even realize they could go to the pool or run around the track or get a massage for that matter. They drink all their food...cupcakes in a cup sound good? So Wall-e is this sweet little trash compacting robot who falls in love with the robot Eve. Eve's job is to come to Earth and try and find eveidence of life...Wall-e does find a little plant growing inspite of the disgusting humans and the story goes from there. Pixar is obviously looking to make a statement. I walked out depressed, my son walked out confused and my husband fell asleep for about 15 minutes of the movie as the robots beeped at each other with their names...Wall-e, Eve...Wall-e, Eve...Wall-e, Eve...well you get the point.
