Blogpost 2: Ecofeminism to Eco-cyberfeminism

When people hear the words "Disney Movies" I think the first thing that come to people's minds is about Disney Princesses and how weak they are for waiting their Prince Charming to save them, a very common damsel in distress theme. So maybe this is the reason why I find Wall-E special and unique among other Disney Movies. It shows equality for each genders. If you want to know why, I will show you though my research so keep reading.

Moving on, according to Cassandra A. Clarke entitled "Love in the Time of Pollution: A Look at Eco-Feminism Roots in Disney's 'Wall-E'" from studentpulse.com says that it is amazing how a tragedy changed the criticism and the unequal treatment for every gender. How men view women unequally had been set aside from this movie since the target viewers for this movie are kids, they will learn to not discriminate or to not have a discrimination when it comes to gender.

As the article says, "Traditionally founded in Marxist thought, they believe that nature is dominated because humans dominate each other through the value they place in “dualisms,”-slave/master, women/man, child/father, etc., and the organization of hierarchical structures of power (205). Structuring their environmental thought within a homocentric outlook, eco-social feminists believe that it is through reestablishing the connection between people in considerate terms that nature can once again be valued." It truly moved me because after reading that I realized that the movie's intention was not only how to take care of the environment and the reason why it should be taken care of.

Therefore, if the people took the earth for granted what happened to the earth at the movie's perspective would happen but also the intention of applying or establishing the connection between every genders, by treating or giving them enough and equal treatment, that everyone can make a difference.

Moving on, another article from Kristen Cervantes entitled "MOVIE GEARED TOWARD FEMINISM: WALL-E" from newsonwomen.wordpress.com it showed how emotional connections can re-establish and restore the quality and relevance of life. They needed each other when both of them discovered that there is still a chance to live on Earth despite how it looked like before, so when people saw them and found out what their goal is, they helped them by standing out and defeating Auto which totally showed that eco-feminism existed, but since they are both robots and man-made, I called it eco-cyberfeminism wherein it is related because number one, Eve is a robot hence I called it cyber, number two she she helped her programmer to search for the plant and report it to the Captain and sacrificed her life to defeat Auto which showed care for the earth, and lastly Eve's voice actress is a woman, and since Wall-E fell in love with her, everyone looked at her as a woman.

As the article says, "Women are typically stereotyped as being only sweet, loving and caring, but men can be that way too. Overall, the movie demonstrates how people can benefit the environment and how genders should not be stereotyped." Since they are both robots and man-made, I called it eco-cyberfeminism wherein it is related because number one, Eve is a robot hence I called it cyber, number two she helped her programmer to search for the plant and report it to the Captain and sacrificed her life to defeat Auto which showed care for the earth, and lastly Eve's voice actress is a woman, and since Wall-E fell in love with her, everyone looked at her as a woman.

Hence, in this movie, the writer's intention is not to show an environmental message but it somehow showed that the cause of the destruction of the earth was because of people's ignorance and continuing to aim for the product of future without even considering the consequences, plus discrimination will not help the earth which is shown when people saw each other on the screen and started realizing things and started the movement to make everything back to the way it had and it used to be.
