UNST-Gospel According to Walle

The director of the Pixar film, Walle, is Andrew Stanton. He has done most of the screen plays for the pixar films, has acted in some movies and is currently doing a pre-production called John Carter of Mars. Pete Docter and Andrew Stanton are the writers of the film. Pete Docter has also directed and written for other pixar plays. These two "pixar-men"have been in the movie making business for a long time and I assume that the religion is not something they come in counter with a lot or even care about. Creative techniques that are used to attract my attention are: that way that the directors did not use talking until later in movie, how they filled the Earth with trash and put small details of items in it, and also how they made space such a place of irony. Many people are lazy and wish they could do things without moving, which in Walle the directors take that concept to the next level and turn it into something we see as negative, the obesity of the people in the movie. The directors seemed to have given a specific characteristic to as many charachters as they could, which made the movie more interesting. Different people might view or understand the message of this movie differently than me depending on what background knowledge they have or don't have and the reasons why they would watch the movie, is it just for entertaiment or is it to get something out of it. Walle, is in fact, a child's film but it contains such a strong message, many in fact, about values, life and protection of the environment around us. I am one of those people who can find God in everything and can corralate stories, movies and experiences to God or even His "good news," the gospel. In Walle, what I portray the message of good news to be is that hope is never lost. Sin can and does diguise itself in such an intriguing way. Sin is something sweet, something we want, something that looks nice but is destructive. In Walle, I see the sin being the society within the spaceship. How people were pulled into the phenomenon about not having to do anything for yourself, not seeing the world around them, and not caring. When Walle comes and brings sign of life on planet Earth, there is a battle between "good and evil" as to go back or stay in this zombie space land of laziness. In the end they do go back to Earth and are given a second chance at life, at making the world a better place and caring for themselves and others.
