^ Well said Blessed Light! I thought I fully understood the movie, but now I understand it more. You have awesome writing skills. 
Blessed Light: I agree with skunklover, BL. You write very well! And very well said.
I think everybody on this forum has a lot of good things to say, and some wonderful writers just take the words right out of my mouth when I’m trying to desrcibe my feelings and/or opinions about different films and parts in the films.
“WALL-E” is, personally, one of the best stories I have ever known, and I guess that’s why I like writing about it so much!
For me the turning point was the moment the movie started. Once I saw the first shot of the stars and heard “Out There”, I knew this would not be the movie I expected, and that this was clearly a different movie from Pixar standards.
I like how this topic became active again once Wall-E premiered on Disney Channel.
I think define dancing is the Turning point. It really builds the suspense when Kaboom and then Eve screams
“WAll-E!!!”
The first time I saw the movie, I was scared for Wall-E too.
One of Wall-E’s strongest realization points was:
- When he realized he was in love with EVE.
- When he realized he was lonely.
- When he discovered the Axiom.
I was really scared near the end. I’d say most people here were. XD Anyway, I have to agree on Define Dancing for sure.
When i saw the ending, i was like “THIS CANNOT HAPPEN! NO! HOW CAN IT?!!!”
As said before on this thread, there can only be one climax located within the main storyline. I have come to the conclusion that the climax must be when WALL•E sees that EVE is holding his hand at the very end. My reason: because that was what WALL•E had been wanting to do from the very beginning of the movie.
You see, I learned the basic structure of drama follows a pattern: Exposition, Complicating Incident, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, and the end (in tragedy, it’s called a catastrophe). Take the play Hamlet for example:
Exposition: Introduction of Characters in Hamlet
Complicating Incident: Hamlet finds out the King Claudius murdered his father
Rising Action: Hamlet plots to take Claudius’s life
Climax: Hamlet refuses to assassinate Claudius
Falling Action: Everything between Hamlet’s accidental murder of Polonius to Ophelia’s burial.
Catastrophe (Ending): Hamlet’s duel with Laertes and subsequent death, deaths of Claudius, Gertrude, and Laertes, Fortinbras becomes king of Denmark.
Using this drama pattern:
Exposition: Introduction of main characters in WALL•E
Complicating Incident: EVE shuts down after she finds the plant, the ship takes her back, and she loses the plant.
Rising Action: Everything between “Define Dancing” and Eve’s repair of WALL•E.
Climax: WALL•E and EVE hold hands
Falling Action: The Captain teaching the kids about farming, and the plants sprouting
Ending: The Credits
Hope that makes some sense. Depending on which storyline you look at, you can create multiple drama threads for each interwoven plot.
Wow, great observations! I like how you layed it all out and used Hamlet as an example. And it all makes sense, are you going to be an English major?
ellie-jessie-eve: No, I’m going to be an art major. And I’m glad you enjoyed my post.
I’m not sure what you mean. Do you mean when the climax starts? The start of the third act? Because if you mean that, I’d say when A113’s purpose is revealed is when everything starts to get crazy.
I was under the belief that he’s talking about the climax.
i just love this movie and can watch it repeatedly.
I use to be like that! But I haven’t seen it in so long.
