I was lucky enough to see the movie on the opening day. I remember seeing the preview for it back in 2004, and I was like "who advertises a movie four years in advance?"
People who are pretty sure that they have made a great movie. And they have. There are so many levels to the movie, in that you could look at it purely as a romantic comedy, or it could be a philosophical movie about what it means for a human or robot to be "alive," or it could be an animated (and much, much more enetertaining) Inconvenient Truth.
Or you could just turn the sound off and watch it purely for the amazing animation.
I really can't think of ANYTHING wrong with the movie. Nothing, not a detail.
I've read a couple of critics speculations about its chances to win the best picture oscar. It's raised the bar for all animated films, and I'd go as far as to say for all live action films, too. Since it was able to tell a simple, yet charming story with barely any dialogue I think it's going to set a precedent for less talk, more purpose in screenplays. Or let's hope so, because I'm pretty tired of stupid movies like the chihuhua one in the previews.
Anyway, it was amazing. I want to go back and see it a couple more times, but like Gone With the Wind, I can't imagine not seeing it on the big screen.
Waaaaaaaaalllllleeeeeeeeee
oh and i almost got arrested yesterday but that's for later
