Wall-E

[Cadaverous Pallor]

SPOILERS, people. Looks like the boxes are gone. Those that haven't seen it should probably stop reading the thread now (or rather, have stopped reading it a few posts earlier).















I admit it, the humans "waking up" bugged me. And the fact that they actually wanted to go back to earth bugged me as well. As I said before, the happy-sappy, easy-peasy ending was mandatory, but didn't make a whole lot of sense. I didn't mind though because I knew the rest of the amazing film couldn't have been made by anyone else - and as it had to have a happy kids ending, there we are.

I don't see the issue with wanting to go back. While I cannot totally understand living on a cruise ship for my entire life, and I admit that these people do not have a point of reference for 'something else' (such as Earth), I would think that basic human nature (for an educated person, which I would presume these people are) would want to be somewhere else besides the one and only place they have ever existed. I had presumed that the notion of 'going home' had been passed down from generation to generation in some form, even if the real experience had long ago been lost.

At least that's how I experienced it.

And I did not spoilerize this as at this point, if someone who hasn't seen the movie is still reading, there's not much more damage that can be done.
