Film Analysis: Robot Do Things

Robot Do Things
In the 2008 Disney/Pixar film: WALL-E,. And it's good. Andrew Stanton co-wrote the film with Jim Reardon. Stanton, who directed Finding Nemo, had already had some writing and directing experience when it came to animation, and he does a good job handling this movie. The movie is about a little robot named WALL-E, which stands for "Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class". He is the last of his kind on Earth and just goes about his day compacting trash and collecting little trinkets he finds interesting and takes them back to his home, which looks to be an old storage facility that would hold WALL-Es. One day while he is minding his business, a laser on the ground peaks his interest and he follows it to find a rocket landing.

it is a good story of a robot falling in love because he is the last working WALL-E and last robot on earth. The movie is set around 800 years in the future and this large company has taken over the world: Buy N Large. The world becomes overrun with trash and Buy N Large comes up with the idea to have all of humanity to go on a five-year voyage in an interstellar cruise to give Earth and BNL a chance to clean up the Earth.What sounds like a good idea goes south and the voyage is extended to 700 years due to “rising toxicity levels” which “have made life unsustainable on Earth”. This is quite the roller coaster of a story and piecing everything together is quite easy BAD There are definitely aspects of the film that seem too rushed and too “Pixary” like how two robots are falling in love. Another example of “Pixarness” is at the end of the movie when WALL-E is “on the verge of death”, EVE saves his “life” by completely rebuilding him. She just somehow knew how to rebuild a WALL-E, a kind of robot she most likely did not even know existed before she was sent to earth. A human named John tries to hand WALL-E an empty drink and he does not take it out of John’s hand, John falls out of his chair and seems way too eager to look to a robot for help instead of being immediately mad at WALL-E which would be the most common reaction. WALL-E also breaks another human’s chair by snapping the little wings that project a little screen in front of her. Mary, whose screen/projector WALL-E just broke, is immediately just in shock at what she sees instead of being angered. There is a “chase” scene around the hour and sixteen-minute mark, and it just feels put into place to give the sense of urgency that is not there. All of the rogue robots are following WALL-E and EVE. The ending is also way too pushed because everything is a happy ending according to

    "Wanted" is basically from a comic book that has limited series written by Mark Miller and J.G Jones, it is about an amoral protagonist (Wesley Gibson) who is discovered as the heir of super assassin. Russian director, Timur Bekmambetov, he is the cream of the crop, he turns this comic into a movie that make the viewers not sit still and make their adrenaline and cortisone levels spike with the actions. Bekmambetov used the similar style of shots and angles with his previous movie, Night watch. It's more to wide angle (long shot), so we can see the terrifying background like one of the scenes in the torture room, where Wes has been beaten up by the butcher. Not even that, there are many special effects that Bekmambetov applies in this movie, like slow-motion with sound effects that certainly provides that "ouch" reaction from audiences.…

    Genie Film Analysis

    After watching the documentary I gained a different perspective on how important socialization and learning was in human development. Due to Genie’s isolation she lacked the ability to communicate effectively using language, she was profoundly damaged emotionally and mentally, she barely had mobility and was unable to chew. Each aspect of Genie’s condition can in my opinion be explained by both nature and nurture seeing as each concept plays a part in our development. I say this because as Genie started to have more social contact with other people her language improved and her personality started to develop. The social interaction gave her role models to emulate and people to help nurture the undeveloped areas that needed improvement.…

    Australia, being the multicultural country that it is and has been for decades, some form of racial discrimination will always be inevitable. Through the use of characters and visual techniques, Australian Rules and ‘Stand Up’ from the TV series Redfern: Now are able to create a representation of the indigenous race and reflect on the racial attitudes toward them at the time. Australian Rules was released in 2002, and according to the events that occurred in the film, racism and racial divide was still very present in Australian society. On several occasions during the film, conflict is demonstrated amongst white Australians and indigenous Australians. ‘Stand Up’ on the other hand, creates a rather different representation of Indigenous Australians.…

    Million Dollar Arm is the kind of sports movie that crams everything subject-specific into quick-cut montages to make room for maudlin drama and fish-out-of-water comedy—a baseball flick where no one is actually shown playing baseball. It offers plenty of sideline pleasures—like seeing Jon Hamm do his disaffected Don Draper stare while watching Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent—and a gaping hole in its center. Into this hole it tosses redemption arcs, romantic comedy cutesiness, business rivalry subplots—anything, as long as it isn’t directly related to sports. Hamm’s character, J.B. Bernstein, is a real person, and the plot of Million Dollar Arm—which is based on Bernstein’s involvement with a reality TV competition in India…

    Night Moves Film Analysis

    • 1887 Words
    • 8 Pages

    Arthur Penn’s Night Moves (1975) follows ex pro-football player turned private eye Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman), as he tries to unravel a case centered around a missing 16-year-old girl. The story constantly shifts between Moseby’s attempts to solve the case centered around Delly, the missing 16-year-old, and his attempts to keep his life, and sense of self from unravelling following the revelation of his wife’s affair. Night Moves is a prime example of neo-noir that is very self-aware of its classic noir film roots and uses its protagonists paranoia, and constantly crumbling sense of self to reflect a breakdown in confidence of a post-Watergate America. In a general sense Night Moves, almost blatantly at times, declares itself a neo noir…
