Walle is a satirical movie, even though most of the movie is silent, and the movie was originally intended for children, the truths presented are targeted towards ADULTS. The robots in the movie seem more personable than the actual humans in the movie seem. Walle is frantic to find Eva, talk about ROBOT LOVE. Sweet as this pursuit may be, it is calling attention towards the emotional relationships that the humans are lacking.![]() |

The technology used allows the characters to transcend the PHYSICAL reality.
This is paralleled to today's use of technology to tune out the physical world and tune into ourselves.
We are enchanted and even hypnotized by technology. A hypnotic state happens when one's mind transcends reality. That is what listening to music all day or constantly being on the internet does is send an individual into a state of hypnosis.
Maybe it's nice to slip into a state other than the usual RUSH and stress of everyday life, whether that is tuning into headphones and tuning out the world or CRAWLING into a dark movie theater for "shelter." Watching this movie and maintaining my grip on the lens of reality made me think twice about sitting behind my screen all day.
