Personal Responsibility Of The Characters In Disney's Film Wall-E

In the film wall-e, we admire a robot who spends his days cleaning up the planet by himself one piece of garbage at a time. Over the course of several hundred years this robot becomes a little lonely and develops a personality. He then finds a robot “eve” who he develops a fond attraction for. This spirals into an adventure across the galaxy. The director presents a feeling of personal responsibility to the viewer for Mother Earth and ourselves through use of foreshadowing and pathos.
As with other Disney films pathos usually plays a large role in the film and more times than not is what really tells the message of the film through the characters. In Wall-E our robot friend is shown alone and quite lonely on earth. This creates the initial pathos and connection to our robot as we feel pity for him. This creates a movement already behind the main protagonist and also urges the viewers to hold their friends closer engendering this personal responsibility.
Progressing further into the film Wall-E finds eve and becomes attached to her. This attachment leads to Wall-E’s departure from earth in chase of his newly found friend. By implementing the new character as a friend it creates this group, and pathos among the audience. It stirs up the feelings among the individuals urging them to go
donate or go take action. Wall-E in its entirety is foreshadowing the possible future of the human race in a few ways.
At the beginning of the film Earth is trash ridden, uninhabited by the human race centuries ago. This already in itself is depressing and evokes the idea of recycling and being green or else the Earth is doomed. This is implied personal responsibility from the film. In this heap of trash Wall-E finds a budding plant. This is the first sign of life in years on Earth and because of the way that Wall-E and Eve act out of pure joy and passion for this little plant it makes us think how crucial life really is. This employs the idea of personal responsibility for this planet we live on
again. Wall-E depicts the human race as fat, and incoherent in the movie. With Earth being deserted the humans moved to space to live on ships. They lived artificial lives with floating chairs and food brought to them, they never had to leave. This renders them useless against the robots when they turn against them. Seeing these people, regardless if fictional, creates this self-consciousness among ourselves for personal health. This encourages us to be healthy and also mindful of our body’s. The film incorporates many calls of action to the audience and also personal responsibility. Not only should we care about saving the planet but we should also worry about saving and caring for ourselves.
