Blogpost 1: The Futuristic Mythology

I believe we're all familiar with Wall-E, I've seen it for like 23 times and I still love it. I'm still hoping for the second movie. Some people might say that I'm immature for watching films like this but if we're going to look at the clearer side, there's a lot of meaning, hidden meaning. If you keep on watching and watching a film there's a tendency that we're going to fall in love with it even more because for every time we watch it we understand it more.

So while I was scrolling and looking for a great article to read, the titles themselves caught my attention so I decided to read them. I've discovered another hidden messages about one of my favorite childhood movies.

Moving on, according to an article from Ambi Advaita entitled
Wall-E movie interpretation & hidden meaning from movieinsights.com says that there are different perspectives and in the Human's perspective the Axiom which is the spaceship where the people lives and built to keep the humanity safe  while the Earth was being reconstructed, cleaned and renewed is said to be the heaven, so here we can say that the metaphor for the heaven is the Axiom. That's the first thing that I've discovered.


As the punishment for getting the plant, the article says that the "Struggle and eventual rebirth / ascension back to heavens - Adam (Wall E) and Eve have to go through a lot on earth (axiom) and after a lot of struggle they finally ascend back  to heavens (earth)." So as we can see, it really happened at the last part where they became successful about returning or sending back the humans from the Axiom to the New Earth which was already renewed, and reconstructed. Therefore it also shows how the past happened again to the future.

Moving on, I agreed to the article by  Peter T. Chattaway entitled  WALL-E — a second Adam looking for his Eve? from patheos.com says that Wall-E represents as Adam and Eve represents as Eve as the "people" responsible for populating the New Earth and the plant as the metaphor for the forbidden fruit and when Eve was in search for the plant. To quote what hey says "He then finds the last remaining space liner containing the ‘lost tribe’ of humans." Which basically means that Wall-E was in search of someone to hold on like what he sees or watch in the films that he plays at the old television he got from the mountains and piles of trash, he wanted someone to hold his hand like what he sees in the movie so when he finally saw Eve, he felt that he wasn't all alone and that's what happened to Adam and Eve, for Adam not to be alone, Eve came.

As what I've watched I think when Wall-E found Eve he was happy because he wasn't alone since Axiom(heaven) sent Eve to the New Earth, when they saw each other, Wall-E showed the plant to her and he was convinced to give it to her but then Wall-E came with her.

Therefore after their mission to Axiom, Eve and Wall-E as the responsible for populating the New Earth became successful by sending the people back to the New Earth and that's what they meant about populating since Eve the childbearer of the New Earth, so basically her artificial robotic womb puts her action and Wall-E's action to send back the humans to the New Earth.
