criticism
Cinema has been the introduction of "talkies" downright afraid of silence - which is strange for a medium that is building it on the power of images. Apart from art and experimental films from once in the film not only spoke rarely, all too often is too much or explained (if necessary from the off) comments. Silent sequences such as the opening sequence of "2001 - A Space Odyssey" (fd 15 732) remain very reason in mind because the lack of dialogue as irritated as intrigued. It is remarkable that now, on just an animated film from the realm of the mainstream without a word Extreme. For that reason alone we must Pixar's animated "children's film" WALL-E compare in terms of formal radicalism with Kubrick's singular science-fiction epic from the year 1968.
In "WALL-E" there is nothing to say because there are no people. About 700 years ago, the last has left the earth, the polluted, a hostile planet offered no alternative to the giant luxury space ships, which promised a carefree life. There is more chance that is activated on the ground of the flamboyant promotional video on the giant screens, the raves about the eternal holiday, megalomaniac star cruiser. Then there are also the only "human" Words that echo through the abandoned ruins. Otherwise you will only hear Gefiepse, the crunch of metal on stone surfaces, and the tinny sound of an old video cassette of the at least once a day sounds "Put On Your Sunday Clothes". WALL * E is responsible for a small robot with Planierraupenfüßen, the three-fingered grasping hands of an assembly line, and two slaves webcam eyes. In his cubic body can scrap pressed to stackable cubes. He does now for 700 years, which meant that he covered the landscape to learn some metal skyscraper has. WALL-E is sort of a "freak of nature": not only that he is still works where nothing else works, it has also developed something that was not planned by its designers: a kind soul! Therefore indulges WALL-E in the evening his hobbies: his favorite sorting garbage, playing with his house-cockroach named HAL or the sentimental indulgence to said song from the musical "Hello Dolly" (!). Secretly yearns after the little robot, even one holding hands with his peers can - just as in the section on the videotape, which he looks at every night. Then, when one day ends up a giant spaceship to dismiss a small UAV in the landscape waste, his dream might even Fulfillment go. But the high-tech robot named EVA is initially far from keen on relations between robotic. First WALL · It almost tender insistence on hostility gives way to the programmed neural networks EVAs on - just feel the two behave something like friendship. But when Wall-E EVA waste his latest find, a little green thing, shows, takes over command of EVAs actual provision their circuits: backing up and mountains of forms of life.
Up to this moment - almost up to half of the film - you wait in vain for more significant dialogue sentences about "WALL-E!" and "EVA!" went out. Although this no one will miss the contrary. Every sentence is superfluous in this most moving love story since Romeo and Juliet. For all that should be heard anyway, provided by two men: Ben Burtt and Thomas Newman. The 60-year-old sound designer Burtt was among others responsible for ensuring that the light saber in "Star Wars" (fd 20 658) so sounds like it sounds, that Darth Vader breathing so scary and you have regrets when R2-D2 never know that he does not speaks like a man. Burtt also provides in "WALL-E" for, what type of robots when they are alone, which is at least as sensitive as human language. The film is indeed dialoglos, anything but quiet. In place of the spoken word as a means of expression occurs in the case of "WALL-E" the stronger the music. Thomas Newman is from "The Shawshank Redemption" (fd 31 221) on "American Beauty" (fd 34 006) to "The Good German" (fd 38 062) a total of eight times for an Oscar nomination and he will have it for "WALL be * E "is also a ninth time. His music indulges in everything woodwind, string and can provide percussion instruments. Especially the flute, the harp, xylophone and various versions translate the most abstract stage directions in tangible emotions. Like a romantic Program music such as Tchaikovsky's ballet "Romeo and Juliet" plays Newman sentiment and drama and provides one way, sometimes more, sometimes less explicitly, of nightmares. Should it to be at this point, of course, to transfer the perfect animation art made by Pixar, set it apart from "Toy Story" (fd 31 830) to "Ratatouille" (fd 38 348) always manages to bizarre stories in believable (computer) Pictures . Director Andrew Stanton and his character art designer Jason Deamer have managed to breathe a robot that consists of little more than two photocells and six metal fingers, the whole range of (human) feelings. It weighs a lot more than the successfully operated with great effort trying to let the third dimension by means of computer animation still "real".
The story of WALL-E and EVA is of course even after the plant fund. It is conventional, since worsened dramatically, and replaced with a bunch of "disabled" the inevitable robot for a cartoon comic sidekicks. Finally, the action's action-packed climax on the mega-ship, in which the robots for their love, the preservation of plant and struggling for the sensing of a humanity that has degenerated in the last seven centuries, to a nation of nothing but thick worms. What the whole thing finally gets a neat ecological message. Forever and ever but the first half of "Wall-E" will remain in the memory, call the viewers, the three main virtues of cinema in memory: listening watch, be banned! Jörg Gerle (filmdienst 20/2008)
