Personal responsibility is having the ability to make a connection with choices, actions, and consequences to ethical decision-making. Wall-E will be used to evaluate the personal responsibility that is presented in the film. Wall-E is a story of how humans have traveled to space to have a substantial place of living, where everything will be provided to them at their fingertips. It’s a place of paradise for humans. Humans have left the ravaged earth by their overconsumption. Wall-E is the only functioning robot/machinery that is left in the 700 years since the humans have left for Axiom. Eva was sent by the Axiom whose only directive was to find plant life on earth on which upon finding was their way back home. The BNL was what had helped …show more content…
Another point is when the BNL had ordered the robot to go into autopilot mode. The captain had wanted to go back to earth and start a new life again. Humans had allowed technology to control their lives and basically do their everyday tasks for them. They cannot even get out their beds or when Wall-E had bumped into the guy and he has fallen off the chair and Wall-E had helped him get back on this chair. Originally this is what robots were to do but since they were given more power, they have taken over the human race. The captain has had enough of the autopilot and this is where humans gain back their control of themselves and things. Once they come out of those boxes of perfectness they obtain a sense of reality. All the humans are controlled by technology and they do what they say. Technology and humans should have equal power in which neither is overpowering and trying to take over the other. Humans should not be so dependent on technology. In conclusion, BNL had merely just provided what the humans really wanted but in a much faster and efficient way, but humans had become so dependent on technology. That technology took over humans, which they should not have let
Children enjoy watching the journey of the cute characters (Wall-E and EVE) but we also see adults watching the movie Wall-E. There could be multiple reasons for an adult to watch this movie.

“In my own mind I resolved to be a down-stream pilot and leave the up-streaming to people dead to prudence.” In this line, the narrator says what he realized about himself, he can govern and discipline oneself by reason. Another line that is less murky but still not quite obvious is “I began to fear that piloting was not quite so romantic as I had imagined it was; there was something very real and work-like about this new phase of it.” The narrator reveals that he doubts himself in his ability to pilot and realizes he may not be fit for the job and finds out
Thompson illustrated what kind of world we would live in if work were to diminish. This world included excessive amounts of dominating robots, contentious politics, and leisure time. For the past couple of years people have said that robots will take over and dominate humans. This has always been a myth, or rather a topic that is brushed off of the shoulders. However, this fantasy is quickly becoming a reality due to current trends in technology.

One trait of Transcendentalism in Wall-E is importance of nature. Without the plant Wall-E found in the beginning of the movie, there would be no plot. On earth, no one took care of nature, and now it is all gone. Now, Earth is riddled with piles of garbage, dirt, and dust.
Wall-E functions as a symbolic representation of environmental stewardship within the narrative, while the Axiom spaceship epitomizes the hazards posed by reckless tech-driven societal progressions. By using symbols that resonate with audiences, the author conveys complex themes more explicitly. Wall-E and the Axiom highlight the paramount importance of taking care of the environment and the threats that unfettered technological advancement poses. Irony is utilized in Wall-E to bring attention to the preposterousness of consumer culture and the importance of critical thinking. The overweight and passive passengers aboard the Axiom are portrayed as being dependent on their machines for virtually everything, offering an unreserved critique of consumer culture.
The Captain takes this a different way and wants to physically find the man while the whole time the man could be found by looking inside yourself. The way he acts prevents him from doing this though. His actions are what make him seem discourteous and benighted. Throughout the story he is constantly yelling at people trying to understand what had happened the day before.

The movie Wall-e is represented as a dystopian society. Wall-e was a trash collecting robot who was left to clean up the messes made by humans.

As time passes, we will continue to be introduced to new creations which will be far more superior than what we have at the moment. In the meantime, we will have machines and robots who are not ‘perfect’ yet. For an example, in Isaac Asimov’s Reason, Cutie’s cognitive development is not complete yet. “The question that immediately arose was! Just what is the cause of my existence?
Where in the opening sequence of the movie has a happy emotional then quickly changed to dark eerie sounds triggering the feeling of reality in Wall-E world and this affects the audience emotions. Later the same piece of music is used in the introduction scene to Wall-E home creating a link back to that earlier scene in the movie giving the audience the emotion connection with the story of why that piece of music played at that time . Burtt also uses a synchronous sound technique when he wants to help the audience to define realism in a scene by implementing certain sound files he has created from Foley recording develop a link between the action on the screen and the audio sound which clearly detected in the scene where Wall-E meet Eve. Furthermore this scene introduces the characters dialog some of the narration within the movie. The Character voices is artificially enhanced to give the perception of robotic and Space like world Because Wall-E is an animation Ben Burtt had no production sound content to work with from production shoots so he had to apply a methodology that pushed Burtt to create approximately 2600 new sound files which took three years of his time for the movie which at the time was his biggest project.
