As what I know about nostalgia, nostalgia is a memory usually triggered by our senses that brings back memories you want to relive the whole past in your mind with tearfully smile on your face. Well, I know everybody has already encountered this yet but most of them have no idea what is it called. Most people hate feeling nostalgic and think it is bad because if you keep thinking of things that happen to you or how you were feeling such happines back then, it slowly destroy your normal life that you are living in the present. For me, nostalgia is good, but with little remembering. And in this blogpost, I'm going to show you how nostalgia is connected to Disney Pixar's film Wall-E and how Nostalgia is good.
Moving on, according to an article by Robin L. Murray entitled "WALL-E: from environmental adaptation to sentimental nostalgia" from ejumpcut.org it says that Disney Pixar's film Wall-E is a one of kind because it was able to connect nostalgia with nature. As Wall-E collects trash you can see that most of what Wall-E collected seemed so precious to him, probably because of his programmer. And remember when Wall-E was watching Holly Dolly? He was hoping to see people again doing stuff like what the people in Holly Dolly did. This is why Wall-E treasures every trash he collects that seem so valuable because he also doesn't want to be alone.
As the article says, "Although many reviewers note the film's nostalgic appeal, however, none of them connect this nostalgia with nature. Instead, they highlight WALL-E’s nostalgia for human." it only shows that from what Wall-E had seen in the Holly Dolly was all the happy memories that people have had in the Earth when they were here. In the Holly Dolly clip, there were people smiling, dancing and singing and the place is far different from what Wall-E had seen.
I can say that nostalgia helps everyone to be reminded what happened, and by knowing what happened, people will learn from it, deal with it, face it and give it a solution.
Moving on, according to a very long article by Kathleen Stewart entitled "Nostalgia- A Polemic." from jstor.org page 227 it says that nostalgia is essential because it is a tool that can make anyone to move about what to do. It gives anyone a reason to do something.
As the article says, "Nostalgia, like the economy it runs with, is everywhere. But it is a cultural practice, not a given content; its forms, meanings, and effects shift with the context — it depends on where the speaker stands in the landscape of the present." Without nostalgia there would be no futurel, you see, without the past there would be no present and future, nostalgia is very important since it helps someone values the culture and know where they came from. Remembering when Captain saw the plant, he experienced nostalgia which drove him crazy and searched for images and informations about the Earth.
In summation, Disney Pixar's film Wall-E showed how nostalgia was connected by the nature, once you smell something like the trees or flowers, it takes you back from that moment, like what happened when people in Axiom saw the plant as well. No one can go forward without looking back.
