In my very first film production class at USC, we went around the room introducing ourselves and stating the single most important component of a film. My response was two things that go hand-in-hand: Story and the dialogue.
This was my first lesson in filmmaking: dialogue is the last thing that truly makes for good cinema. I couldn't agree more and Wall-E is living proof.
I don't want to talk about the film; you need to experience it on your own. I will say that having some Kleenex on-hand, is wise.
Later on, I'll blog about why i feel this is such an important film, but if you know me & have seen the film, you will already know.
It's just kinda ironic that a hunk of adorable metal is the best spokesperson and humanizer (i know, i'm making up words again) of what is truly needed in this world: each other and compassion, among other things.
So rock-on Pixar. i'm gonna wear my Wall-E tee with pride.
