Wall-E

There are many scenes in Wall-E that ridicule society and other issues in America in a humorous way. One way that society was ridiculed, it may not have been humorous but it was ridiculed nevertheless, is the amount of pollution in the air because of trash on the ground. With how often we throw trash on the ground, use diesel-fuel cars, and forget about recycling, Wall-E demonstrates that there would be no life on Earth because of how bad the air would be. Another set of scenes I noticed is that people live in space. With these humans living in space, they're incredibly lazy and obese. Towards the end, they're proud of themselves for being able to stand up straight. They were always glued to their chair and basically spoon-fed. They were also living in space for over 700 years. There are so many questions I have. How did their bones get impacted by living in space their whole lives? How were they able to come up with food and liquids to help them survive for 700 years in space? How is there any form of gravity in the spaceship when space has zero gravity? So many questions that might not be able to be answered. There might have been more scenes that included ridicule towards society and the downsides of how we live our daily lives, but these were the ones that I saw the most of. I believe it's pretty funny how they ridiculed the obesity problem. Seeing those obese people stand up and act surprised about it made me think of how close America is to that actually becoming true. If it weren't for the technology being advanced, we wouldn't be this lazy. That's another thing I noticed, the technological advances. There are robots and machinery that do the majority of work that us humans should be doing. It was a good representation of how the future will look.
