Lubbock Left

Wall-E is Pixar’s latest animated feature, and it’s simply amazing. It’s probably their best film to date, and it’s definitely my favorite film of the summer so far.

This is an important movie, and one that those of us on the left should promote. The film has a beautiful, often subtle treatment of several important topics that are just plain hard to talk about in daily conversation:

• living sustainably
• out-of-control consumerism
• out-of-control technology
• ubiquitous, one-way media
• the role of arts and humanities in society

And so forth.

Go see this movie. You’ll be entertained, pensive, and moved to act all at the same time.
