Wall-E, the prophet
I just saw the Disney/Pixar movie, Wall-E, and it was great! Not only am I just a Disney and Pixar fan, I found the message(s) of this film to be deeper than what appears on screen. I did not know what to expect other than I heard from other folks that it was a "cute" and funny movie. But by the end of the movie, I was reflecting on theological themes. Here are some of the themes I thought about:
Companionship
Relationships
Ecology
Sustainable communities
Eschatology
Health
Technology
Wall-E brought out these themes and topics, and quite frankly, I find that these are themes that need to be in circles of conversation within the Church. For examples, some may say why bring up ecology in the church? Well quite simply, it involves God's creation, and we, humans, need to reflect on being better stewards of God's creation.
For those that saw the movie, what did you think about? What are your thoughts?
For those that haven't, I highly recommend it. I am sure you will enjoy it.
