Resum
Animation cinema has frequently brought up the conflict generated between the human and the technological in the background of scientific development. In the case of Wall-E, the exchange of roles between humans and robots becomes evident. Through the relations between its characters suggested by the plot, the film proposes a discussion about the human needing the technological to achieve development. From the depiction and interpretation of some elements of the movie, this essay will demonstrate how the movie conveys the ambiguity and exchange of roles between the human and the technological, proposing Wall-E’s story as a relevant sample of the humanization of the mechanical, and equally the dangerous mechanization that jeopardizes the human.
