End scene
What is interesting about all of the sounds
that Ben Bertt
(star wars and many other films à Indiana Jones, Toy
Story and much more!!! Won 4 academy awards for his work in sound design)
Chose and created for the film.
Every sounds is very exaggerated and over the top as sounds effects and some “voice”
carry the entire story of the film. He had to design for any possible story
telling element that was necessary for the film.
After watching this movie many
times I have come to the conclusion that most if not all of the music and
sounds from the mind/head of the protagonist WALL-E.
I say this because of the way the
music in the background of the scene above is very cheery but at the same time it
encourages the audience to be curious about WALL-E and his role on the post
human Earth. What makes more so the music that WALL-E’s music or way of
thinking is evident from his interactions with all of the objects in the scene.
His is simply curious with the objects. The music changes according to his
thoughts on an object in question. The
best example is from the sudden lack of music when the fire extinguisher is
tossed to the distance by WALL-E. He does this because it cause him annoyance
and distress. To finalize my theory, The
film begins with a song that WALL-E loves and always sings to himself.---He is
the only robot on Eath after all—Sunday cloths from Hello Dolly.
