In my previous post, I mentioned that this was also a movie I've seen before. But unlike the previous film, this is an absolutely amazing film. I love how the main love story (between two robots, no less) is set against a backdrop of bleakness and trash, and yet this juxtaposition of ideas is completely at heart with the story. PIXAR really took a chance with this film and its startling lack of dialogue, interspersed with pieces of two songs from the musical Hello, Dolly (certainly not in the knowledge of a large percentage of its viewership).
The result: a timeless animated movie that is just as much a bitter attack on those who would, through selfishness, see our planet fall into irrevocable disrepair, as it is a hopeful love story about beings from "opposite sides of the tracks". In addition, there is a hopeful community ready to rebound against the insolence of the past. I can't possibly say more. A lovely film that any true movie lover should be able to appreciate.
Score: 10/10
