• Hello! Today in class we continued watching wall-E. Wall E is about earth in the future, it shows a large amount of destruction that has taken place. Although just a fictional movie, the plot is not so unrealistic, it showed how the  future of mankind will abandon earth because it has become covered with trash from people and the pollution people have caused.  WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Another robot named Eve was then sent to Earth by humans to find proof that life is can be sustained on earth once again. During this time period Wall E falls in love with Eve. a big turning point in the movie is when Wall E rescues Eve from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found in all the garbage on earth. Eve has a "directive", do to this Eve has to take the plant and automatically shuts down, and wall e becomes very sad while trying to wake eve.. Wall E, doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend, he protects her from wind, rain, and lightning, even as she is unresponsive. After a few days the massive ship comes back once again to take  Eve, but Wall E, in fear of losing his love, sneaks onto the ship with eve. The ship arrives back at a large space cruise ship, which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated Earth around 700 years earlier. The people of Earth are riding around this in somewhat of a space resort on chairs that hover over the ground , this gives them 24/7  TV and video chatting. They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and they’ve had a great deal of bone loss, and are all so fat that they can barely move. When the plant is given to the captain of the ship, the robot try to get rid of it because they do not want to return to earth.
• This movie so far is starting to reflect on the real earth's habits. It is foreshadowing earth's current issue and is acting as a call to action. If earth can fix its issues now then maybe we won't have to go through issues like wall e.
• Also throughout this movie, you can try making connection to the book we are reading ready player one.
