I "got it" the first time I saw it. I was proud to see Peter Gabriel win an Oscar for his contribution to the film's score. We bought ourselves into a credit crisis and a recession, and we run around with every convenience at our disposal yet we forget even basic manners while using these conveniences. The movie promotes the simple things that make us humans what we are. Finding contentment without having to buy it is never bad. I love my "things", but I question people who think the garbage that never ceases to pile up from our mindless consumption of products is okay. This has nothing to do with climate change or some such pseudoscience, it has to do with remembering that we were left to be caretakers of this planet by God; how we treat our home is a reflection of our humanity or the lack thereof. All you have to do is go to a big box store and look at the trash in the parking lot. You quickly realize how shallow we've become or you turn a blind eye to it and just buy more stuff. The recession will have one beneficial effect; it may cause some of us to have to find joy in simple things because we won't be able to afford the expensive toys we all enjoy quite so easily.

Thankyou Hi,

It is meant as a comprehensive, analytical view of WALL-E, included in there are some conservative reviews. I included the ones you mentioned above, and that was going to be it, until luckily I read your piece. I will be sure to make a special note about your response to these reviews in my website, in hopes to show that not every conservative has such vile responses to the movie. Just thought I'd let you know at least one person read your review and took it to heart. -Nathan Cummins Mr. Ford,
