Boiling Point: Too Early to Talk Avatar?
ZING
Although Wall-E looks to be way better and more accurate in terms of what will happen to the earth. So Pixar for Nobel Prize?
A new generation of children right now are weaker than the previous generation, why? Because they don't do anything, except spend their time inside playing video games and watching television. What's wrong with going out and getting a little exercise? People that are offended by a movie pointing out the danger of being so side tracked in the little things, that they lose touch with a healthy lifestyle, is just silly.
Look I know there are people that are overweight, who are very outgoing and active and particularly good role models. But this movie, like all forms of theme based stories is taking the extreme cases that sadly is becoming more common everyday. Selfishness and single-minded interest is what will destroy us, Wall-e is a curious robot, he's curious about the world around him and through this curiosity he learns to care for the world. In the movie the people have lost their curiosity, the sense of wonder, and they fall back on the 'well nothing to do but indulge' and stop accomplishing anything.
To think that this movie is supposed to blame fat people for all the problems in the world is to be blind to what the message is really being presented. For those that think, 'This movie says fat people are the reason for the destruction of the human race' really need to look around at the world. It isn't that lazy fat people are the destruction of the world, but the fact that humans selfishness can result in the destruction of the world as well as what it is to be human.
