A robot that is more emotional than any human

Pixar, a name that no one knows ever since Toy Story. All the animations ever made by Pixar always left a vivid memory in all the people world wide. This time, Pixar brought us Wall-E. Honestly, when I watched the trailers, I didn't really expect anything from this movie. But, I guess since it is Pixar, I still have to watch it. I am very impressed, not by the technology (c'mon 3D movies are not really that new anymore), but by how great the script, storyline and more importantly the portrayal of non-living robots. And, these robots are so much more emotional than any human being. Frankly, the trailers didn't tell much about the story line. In fact, that is a good thing, cause I was really surprised by how the story developed, and I am not going to spoil that for you.

So, basically the story starts with a robot called Wall-E, and its task was to clean up the trash in earth. Somehow, over time (oh yes, we human beings have left the earth because it was not inhabitable anymore), all other Wall-Es somehow died off (because of power I presume), and only one left. And this one special Wall-E has somehow developed some sort of human emotion. He (I assume is a he, because the other main robot was "female") was alone, so alone and crave for some company. And, God hasn't forgotten about him, sent him Eva (a very high-tech advanced robot). So, the story started developed between these two robots, and somehow to another storyline...

I think, I really think, some people would cry at the end of the movie. Seriously, a robot could make you cry (let alone it is an animation movie). I think Pixar has done it again (not so much with Cars though). Oh, another thing, robots in the movie didn't talk human (even though they have some sort of human emotion). So, most parts of the movie were really noises from the machine, i.e., robots-language. That's how amazing the movie is, using some limited emotions on the robots faces, limited body languages, it still could move you, touch you deeply. Pixar sure knows how to play with human emotions!

And here is the rest of it.
