In class today we watched the first forty or so minutes of Wall-E. Along with watching the film we had to develop a specific and probing question based on the film. Before the film was turned on Mr. Rivers briefly went over what a good analytical question was composed of, stating that we should avoid opinion questions and questions that forced people to guess. We watched the film from the very beginning. As we watched the opening scene that we have seen about three times now, the animation and content were still just as pretty and intricate. Within the forty minutes of film we are introduced to Wall-E, his environment, evidence to why there are no humans and why there is so much trash, and we are introduced to Eve. Eve is a much more modern and complex robot that came on a spaceship. With little dialogue, just simple words and noises, Wall-E and Eve's love story began to unfold. When Wall-E showed Eve a plant that he had found and collected earlier that day, Eve immediately takes it, locks it within her "abdominal" area. Eve locks up and shuts down to keep the plant safe. This leads the audience to believe her purpose in coming to earth was to find any organic life. We stopped the film before any clear explanation was given, we only saw the development of Wall-E's love for Eve and his relentless effort to gain her affection. Class ended soon after the film was turned off within that time whoever did not finish their question could and tie any loose ends regarding the days assignment.
