And there are some notes. I think it would be helpful to my research paper.
1) “Intertext in Wall-E”
Pixar’s Wall-E (2005) is a film that relies heavily upon other films to shape its meaning. It specifically features excerpts from the upbeat and sunny film Hello Dolly! (1957). The two films starkly contrast one another, providing very different images of the world--one is bright and sunny, concerned only with the love between human beings, another is a post-apocalyptic landscape from which humans have been removed entirely, floating alone and isolated on a constructed space vessel. This paper will examine the ways in which Wall-E uses the intertext to define landscape and the people in it.
Wall-E is a film about post-apocalypse(end of the world).
Landscape is destroyed. No human beings.
Lone protagonist searching: people, resources, community
human literature
intertext uality “shaping meaning”
