The American Conservative's Review of WALL-E
"In the film, it becomes clear that mass consumerism is not just the product of big business, but of big business wedded with big government. In fact, the two are indistinguishable in WALL-E’s future. The government unilaterally provided it’s citizens with everything they needed, and this lack of variety led to Earth’s downfall... Staples of small-town conservative life such as the small farm, the “atomic family,” and old-fashioned and wholesome entertainment like “Hello, Dolly” are looked upon by the suddenly awakened humans as beautiful and desirable. By steering conservative families away from WALL-E, these commentators are doing their readers a great disservice."
Like the Jackson kids constantly try to make themselves look like Diana Ross, the American conservative movement embraces Regan as the ideal. Now apparently they have his Alzheimer's. Did they change it to atomic family because their president can't say nuclear? WALL-E is about how Wal-Mart ruins the Earth and some robots bring people back to engage in what seems to be collectivist agriculture. And really, "Hello, Dolly" is the conservative ideal of good wholesome entertainment? That's right kids, the new face of the American Right...
