"There's no need to walk"

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Wall-E is a dystopian film. In a place where one can hop on top of a hovering chair to move from place to place, everyone's going to be overweight. What's funny about the advertising of the Axion cruise ship is that everyone in the commercial is skinny or in shape but in the reality of the cruiser, everyone is fat. In one of the clips (1:23), you can see the affects of the hovering chairs. In that scene the man falls down and can't get back up because of his obesity. Wall-E has to help him get back onto his hover chair. This is just one way, the hover chair affects people. 

    At 1:30 you can see just how accustomed these people are to living the way they do. There's a pool that no one is in, because they'd rather soak in the sun, sitting on their hover chairs, doing nothing but letting the computer do everything for them. These people don't even need to change out of their clothes. Since everything is so communist-like, everyone is dressed the same, everyone has the same thing, and people do the same things. There's no need to walk into a store to buy new clothes. Who needs that, when you can push a button that changes the color of your whole outfit (2:04)? 

    Further more, at clip 2:08 you can see their way of living being embedded into younger children's (infants) minds. Even THEY are on hover chairs, and when they see the letter "A" on the holographic screen, Axion is the example. Not only does the hover chair allow the luxury of not walking, it gives you the option to adjust the chair back in order to reach over and grab something you can't reach since you're so overweight (2:33). The hover chair, alone, is what caused the people on the Axion cruise ship to be so overweight. :]
