I really think Skype, hovercraft, and LaZboy Furniture have a bright future ahead of them based off of Wall-E. I'm not going to lie, if I had one of those chairs it'd be YouTube all day every day where ever I go, but I particularly like how one of the guys falls out of the chair and is like a beached whale being told to wait until a servicebot comes to help him get back into the chair, and like how when the ladies video projection gets turned off she is in awe with whats around her as if she never has noticed her surroundings before. I felt that this scene alone is like people texting and driving or the teenage girls at Arrowhead mall walking and texting, completely oblivious to whats around them. I know I'm guilty.
I agree with you that in some scenes from the movie we can see ourselves, unfortunately! That is why I think the movie is a wake up call for us showing us what to expect in the future if we do not change.
ReplyDeleteThe part where the lady is in awe is my favorite part because you can see it happen in real life so frequently! You take away someone's phone and force them to be in the moment and they actually start having a good time. It really opens one's eyes when you just take in the world as it is without distractions.
