The whole shot of the windmills standing in fields of garbage, how there was no effort to stop building garbage but just shift out to space...sigh. I was finally able to stop looking at that aspect and enjoy the story. I do love the story line...Good blog!G.

If you look hard enough, you can find an agenda in everything.<br><br>As far as writer's opinions go, that's part of our stories. If we didn't have opinions, we wouldn't have stories.<br><br>That said, everyone will take from it what they will. I haven't seen the film yet, but it's in my Netflix queue, and I'll be able to weigh in better after that. But enjoyment is in the eyeballs of the beholder, and some will like it while others may not.Tristi Pinkstonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12122250747480013804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762056687499352578.post-90446017952456285302009-01-03T20:05:00.000-07:002009-01-03T20:05:00.000-07:00Keith, I agree with you whole heartedly about just...Keith, <br><br>I agree with you whole heartedly about just loving the story. Our family loved Wall-e and the lack of dialogue actually suited us. My husband smiled with every "beep" and "whir" and my children adored the silly things Wall-e did.<br><br>I can admit that the first time I saw it, I didn't like it. I saw the propaganda and not the story. (Of course, I didn't see much of the movie either because I was so busy getting treats and stuff too!) But my husband convinced me to go on a date and see it again. And that time, I saw all the wonderful, endearing things that make me love the movie now.<br><br>When it comes to writing/reading a story, I hate being inundated by politics but I try my best to ignore the political theme and pay more attention to character development. I find I'm happier, more content, and have a better time during the ride.<br><br>Love your posts. Keep it up!<br><br>L.T.

H...Sorry, Keith, but my entire family hated Wall-E. However, it had little to do with political content and more to do with the lack of dialogue. For the first 3/4 of the movie, not a single word was spoken. <br><br>It was really boring, even to my eight-year-old.<br><br>But you're right about it just being a movie. Right after we saw it, someone tried to start a political discussion about it and I wanted to run away screaming, "Oh please!" <br><br>Either you like it or you don't, but it doesn't have to be anything more than a story, right?Nichole Gileshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12536148445303996747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762056687499352578.post-88657805194974181962009-01-03T16:12:00.000-07:002009-01-03T16:12:00.000-07:00Keith,It's so true that the writer's opini...Keith,<br>It's so true that the writer's opinions always end up on the page. But, on the other hand, sometimes a good story (or movie) is just that ... good. And so we ignore the opinions and enjoy the book (or movie anyway)!<br><br>I haven't seen Wall-E, but it sounds cute.Cindy Beckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16915624341543651886noreply@blogger.com
