I love the film Wall-E Its pretty damn adorable. Wish someone would do all that just to see me. Just, preferbly not a robot. Although he is rather lovely
I really want to get this on DVD. I thought it was fantastic, and definitely want to see it again. |

Well all I've seen is Modern Times, but besides having very few words I wouldn't call them similar movies at all.
Though I think I get what you're saying. They manage to evoke emotion without words, which is an impressive thing. |

wall-e himself is pretty heavily based on chaplin's tramp character. the influence is undeniable if you watch, say, city lights. and it's not that it is so impressive per say, as it is unconventional to find in a massively marketed, modern studio film. emotion is/was evoked all the time without the use of words, especially in silent film, but also music/painting/photography etc.

By the way, you guys are pretending like my favorite movie is Transformers or something. Eh, you're selling baseball as a hobby short but that doesn't surprise me. I get more intellectually stimulated by a baseball game than most movies, the artsy ones included...

the films of andrei tarkovsky or teshigahara or antonioni or various other 60s filmmakers are far more visually captivating than anything i've seen recently. |
