WALL•E and Andrew Stanton

Great interview with WALL•E writer - director Andrew Stanton.

Stanton: They tell you that as a storyteller, it’s vital to just stick with and be honest with your values system. The last thing I want to do is go to a movie and feel like I’m being preached to or being told how to be, and I think it’s more honest—and you’re going to have more effect—to be truthful with the values of your characters, working off of your own values. That was the case with WALL•E. The greatest commandment is to love one another, and to me, that’s the ultimate purpose of living. So that was the perfect goal for the loneliest robot on earth, to learn the greatest commandment, to learn to love.

I cannot wait to see this movie!

    “Number 5… is… alive.” he looks like Johnny-5 from short circuit. I’ll wait for it to come out on DVD.

    Man…I love what he said. Although the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. A close second is love your neighbor as yourself. But shoot, I’ll give him mad props for even asserting that concept, which was really understood throughout the movie. Well done.
