Wall – E
The movie wall- E is a perfect movie for children and for all kids at heart. The movie is entertaining and at the same time has a moral at the end, like all the other Disney animations. Wall-E is a science fiction film that has a futuristic plot and is about a robot named WALL-E, who is designed to clean up a waste-covered Earth far in the future. In the story, Earth has been an abandoned planet due to enormous wastes and all mankind were evacuated in a space ship, where everything is automated and operated using voice command. The movie depicts what our future could be if we continue to use technology hastily. I find it very timely, as our world is facing the same dilemma. Many people nowadays continue to be in hunt for new technologies. From the smallest tool to largest machinery that could lessen or at times even do all the work for people. The improving technology in one way is a great help for people; it can make things easier, thus making life simple. However, too much dependence on these things made people useless. As it is shown in the movie, the people rely too much on technology and its benefits that it deviates some of the normal function of our body. It may look exaggerated in the movie, but it could be a possible result if we continue relying on technology. Seeking advancement on technology is not a negative aspect, it just depend on how we make use of it. We should remember that there are still natural things that were made for us to utilize. Wall- E is one of my personal favorite movies; I like how the storyline and the animation catch the attention of the viewers and how it relays the lesson in a very sweet and touching manner.
Surrogates
Surrogates is a science-fiction film that has a futuristic scheme. The film revolves on the creation of a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase remote controlled humanoid robots through which they interact with society. These healthy, good-looking, remotely controlled machines ultimately assume their life roles, enabling people to experience life from the comfort and safety of their own homes. This depicts how people really care about vanity and effortless jobs. As it seen in the movie, people interact with others and experience life without exerting efforts. In the surrogate technology, people are free from harm and protected even though their surrogate body is damaged. I find the movie amusing and very creative, imagine a life wherein you are free to do everything that you want without the fear of being harm, here you can be forever young and beautiful as your surrogate never ages. However, with all of these things on hand, we tend to forget the normal functions that we have. I like how the movie tries to show us, what the possible results of the abuse in technology are in an entertaining and remarkable approach.
COMPARISON
Both movies are science fiction that have futuristic plot. It both shows us the positive and negative results of technology. Advancement in technology is earnestly meant to make our lives easier. However, the abuse of these man-made innovations may have a boomerang turn-out to humanity, instead of making life easy it makes life complicated.
