Film in Italian: Wall-E

WALL-E is the last robot left on Earth after humans abandoned it because it had become overrun with rubbish. They forgot to switch him off, and for 700 years he has continued to do what he was built to do: compress and pile up rubbish. He doesn’t speak, but he makes himself understood very well through gestures and a range of expressive sounds, just like R2-D2 in *Star Wars*. He is a robot brought to life like an anthropomorphic animal, a little Charlie Chaplin: an alienated worker who dreams of a better tomorrow whilst gazing at the starry sky. And when this better tomorrow arrives from the sky in the form of another robot, Eve – more modern and programmed to search for life on Earth – Wall-E chases after her onto the mother ship. There, much like Chaplin’s tramp, he will be an unwitting harbinger of chaos and anarchy alongside society’s other ‘deviants’ – that is, the defective robots – the equivalent of that family of freaks, the aquarium fish, that Nemo had to deal with.
