i know its exam period.. hence i chose some light hearted animations like madagascar clone war and wall e.. but wall e turned out to be much darker and forced me to pay attention throughout the whole show..i picked up some important lessons to share..
this is the best robot love story not only becase it is the only one.. human beings no longer fall in love.. it is a mystery how babies were produced in 2700 in the film.. i am not a proficient romance writer to comment much on that part of the plot.. i will like to focus on the part where eve repaired walle and the latter had a short amnesia.. it proves how important memories are in a relationship.. robots definitely dont perform this function as well as us..
the future of human beings portrayed in this film struck me.. Human beings no longer travel on foot.. most of our needs are instantly met.. there is no face to face interaction with another being.. we will be communicating through a more developed version of msn.. there is no need to enquire.. a floatin wikipedia follows u around.. there is uniformity in attire food and lifestyle.. even a revolution is written on a script.. human beings turn obese lazy dependent rigid have short attention span and hate changes.. presently i am guilty of performin some day-to-day activities which are pavin my way to a wall e future..
films should provoke thought.. i will insist that one of the film messages is the touch of humanity.. consisting of entertainemnt interaction and hard work.. this film will earn all the stars from me if it manage to move my tears.. i will leave you with a line from the captain..
Captain: I don't want to survive, I want to live!

她今年农历三月六号刚满 二十二 刚甩掉课本要离开家看看这世界 却发现许多烦恼要面对
他常会想望能回到那年他 一十二 只需要好好上学生活单纯没忧愁 他就像一朵蓓蕾满怀希望
this song was released in 2001.. i heard it in 2003.. it took me only one time to fall in love with it.. on this day of 2008 i replayed it for more than 22 times..

we consolidate defeat.. we dont ask for recount.. we need to work hard for the next four years..
the graceful manner in which mccain congratulated obama made me think that he had been preapring his defeat speech for quite some time.. to win a war.. u need someone to lose it.. it is not fair to obama capabilities to say that it was mccain who lost it.. certainly obama outorganised outcampaigned and outwitted mccain.. this entry will examine wat mccain could have done to beat obama..
money.. money is needed for ground offices and tv ads.. obama was a fundraisin machine.. in order to match him.. mccain should have accepted federal fundin on his campaign..
message.. it ended with country first.. slogan after slogan.. i could not keep track of what it really was most of the time.. obama was uequivocal.. hope.. change.. message should be kept simple.. well thought.. and appeal..
runnin mate.. palin was chosen to win over women and social conservatives.. it was not very effective.. not many agree with mccain choice.. he could pick someone with more experience to secure swing states.. if palin was a gamble.. it was a poor bet..
culture war.. he could attempt to play dirty at the end of the campaign.. he could challenge obama hard and nasty.. maybe its in mccain character to not resort to desperate mudslingin.. or maybe he accepted his fate and did not bother to try.. besides the obama tide is so strong that such nixonite tactics might not work..

why do u vote for candidate A?
1. you love his personality or looks(skin color).. 2. you prefer his polices and values.. 3. you are in love with his runnin mate.. 4. you are in love with his spouse.. 5. you have party alleigiance.. you are voting blindly.. 6. you want balance.. you fear single party rule.. 7. you want to punish the incumbent..
