Change of Mind: Wall-E
Last year, in English class, we watched the movie Wall-E as part of our transcendentalism unit. I never really knew what that movie was about, I kind of just thought it was about a bunch of robots just running around and stuff. I guess thats why I never really rushed to see it. I had no idea that the movie would be about our economy and that its kind of mocking us. I know our economy is bad, but I didn't really understand the dangers until I saw this movie. I was really ignorant to the fact that this was actually not a kids movie, and it teaches everyone a very good lesson on how pollution and all the craziness is gonna wipe out the whole planet one day. So after seeing this movie, I really saw the world in an amazing new way. That our Earth is brittle. And its slowly falling apart, and the movie tells us that we all have to work together to make it last. That means we will have a manifest function, and that is a good thing! So I'm really glad this movie was brought to my attention, and I would suggest everyone to see it. It will really show you whats wrong with this world, and give you a new perspective on life and how fragile it is. It happened to me and I'm sure it will give everyone a change of mind!

Wait okay woah. Get out of my brain. That is pretty darn near EXACTLY what my mindset for the movie Wall-e was until I actually watched it. I happen to stumble upon it once at my friends house and so I was like "heyy.. wall-e.. okay" For the first like HALF HOUR there is no talking what so ever. Actually, there is very little talking in the movie at all. So I can completely bored out of my mind watching it. So I turned it off after the first 20 minutes because I grew uninterested. I don't know if it may have been due to the fact that I was craving like a big action movie or something but I still to this day havent the slightest idea why I would do such a thing. About a year after my first encounter with the movie Wall-e I decided to give it a chance again, just to see if anything had changed. I don't know if you where at school that following monday but if you ask anyone, especially kiley, you'll hear about how In love with it I was and how i could NOT stop talking about how that movie changed my life. I'm still in love with it and I think it's one of the best movies of all time. I too now see the world in an "amazing new way" :p Glad we're on the same page tiger:D
