Wall-E


You might be wondering what an eighteen year old college student with a newly cut mohawk hair cut is doing writing about a Disney Pixar film. Well, I am hear to tell you that the film Wall-E might be one of the most intelligently created films that I have ever seen in my life. What I am trying to get to here, is that I am truly amazed by the caliber of movie it turned out to be with as little of actual dialogues there actually is within the piece. I believe that this movie quite possibly could be one of the best examples of rhetoric recent cinematic productions. How it is able to reach such levels of humor while still be able to contain a quality story behind the animation astonishes me.

Through methods of background music to set a general tone and the producer’s knowledge of an audience’s probably reaction, this movie reaches new levels of effectiveness with regard to presenting a plot to its viewers.

Another tool that is used in incredible fashion is the utilization of grunts and general noises and overall body language from the robots to convey their emotions and or thoughts to the audience. Such examples include moaning while exerting energy, sighing with relief, slouching of the robot’s actual structure when lamenting, and the quickened movement when in distress. In general, the creators of this film did a remarkable job while making critical rhetorical decisions for this film.

Eric,

I completely agree with your evaluation of the rhetorical elements of Wall-E. This was a brilliant film.
