This film is about the earth 700 years later. The whole planet is almost buried by garbage, and the air and soil are seriously polluted. Therefore, human beings can only move to a spaceship to live, and ask a company-made robot (Wall-E) to clean up the garbage on the earth, hoping to return to the earth to continue their lives after cleaning up. But there is too much rubbish. As time went on, all the robots broke down, except the last one. Kawara Tsutomu, the robot, gradually developed a sense of self, knew what loneliness was, and wanted someone to accompany him. One day, a spaceship suddenly landed, and a robot Eve came to the earth to carry out a search mission. Kawara Tsutomu, a garbage-picking robot, "fell in love" with Eve, which led to a long adventure story.
The soundtrack of the film is in the charge of Master Thomas Newman, who is also the director of the soundtrack of The Shawshank Redemption. Let's share and enjoy the soundtrack of this movie.
Put on your holiday clothes (from
The music at the beginning of the film is selected from the Broadway opera Hello, Dolly! "Put on your Sunday clothes", the focus plane gradually focuses on the earth from the vast universe. At this time, the cheerful songs are in sharp contrast with the scenes of cold and cheerless and garbage everywhere in the movie screen. This is the director's intention to express Kawara Tsutomu's loneliness in a contrasting way. This is a song that shows people's yearning for a new life in the film. It has appeared many times during this period, reflecting their enthusiasm for life. Although the environment of the earth is lifeless, the heart is still dancing enthusiastically.
After the focus of the lens falls on the robot Kawara Tsutomu, it begins to enter the sounds of strings and harps, as well as the empty and lonely background sound. Only here can the real audio-visual combination be realized, and the nervous and a little uneasy plucking can highlight the loneliness and fiasco of the protagonist robot on the earth. The whole music lasted about three and a half minutes, and the focus plane followed Wall-E, during which some background information was given, which led to the following story.
It only takes a moment (from Hello Dolly)
The camera comes to Kawara Tsutomu's home, where there are all kinds of lovely and warm decorations. He came home like an office worker, took off his coat (crawler) and put away the spoils he had picked up. Then I turned on the TV video. Here, the director uses live-action movies and music in the form of picture-in-picture. The song is called "It only takes a moment", and the song is selected from the musical "Hello, Dolly! Soft and melodious music, classic love songs. It expresses Kawara Tsutomu's inner desire for someone to be by his side, to hold hands with him and share his happiness. The director also uses this anthropomorphic technique to let us experience the emotion of the robot from the music. It is precisely because of this that this song points out the theme and runs through the whole movie.
The film ushered in the sunshine of the next day. The music here uses playful percussion and lovely and lively orchestra. Reveal that Kawara Tsutomu has started a busy day. This theme music adds a lot of color to the protagonist and the film, and belongs to Kawara Tsutomu music. This song captures the personality characteristics of robot Kawara Tsutomu, and the music is naughty and lovely. It also brings out the fun of Kawara Tsutomu's self-entertainment in a deserted global city, relying on the garbage from cockroaches and humans.
When Eve, another robot, appeared and attracted the protagonist, the director gave the audience musical hints and signals with the harmonious and beautiful string groups typical of Hollywood blockbusters. This harmonious music is also the theme music of Robot Eve, which makes people feel beautiful. Piano and string ensemble are exactly the feminine side of women.
A Rosy Life
Then Kawara Tsutomu followed the scene of Eve all the time.
Louis Armstrong's cornet version of "La Vie En Rose" shows Kawara Tsutomu's uneasy mood to see Eve at the moment. This song is very famous, and it is the masterpiece of French female singer édith Piaf. It is a typical French romantic music, which personifies the robot again and expresses that the robot is equally romantic and emotional.
When Kawara Tsutomu chased Eve's spaceship away from the earth for the first time and flew to the vast universe, the soundtrack was empty and huge, creating a virtual space for the audience to feel the grand scene they had never felt before with Kawara Tsutomu, and those ethereal and gorgeous nebulae seemed to pass by in their ears. At the end of the melody, Kawara Tsutomu's excitement and curiosity when he first saw the huge spaceship were cleverly captured.
In the background of huge spacecraft and stars, Kawara Tsutomu and female robot Eve danced freely in the air, and the soundtrack at this time was a variation of Eve's theme song. Thomas Newman not only described their gentle and euphemistic dance with electronic music, but also did not forget to divide several bars at the end, creating a romantic atmosphere with strings. This is a very interesting piece of music.
After a series of adventures, robots and people returned to the earth, and "It only takes a moment" sounded again, which made people feel gratified by this happy ending and expressed their hope for the future. People realized the beauty that should have been realized in beautiful music, and the future of mankind was in their own hands. At the end of this song, Kawara Tsutomu, the robot, was finally accompanied, no longer lonely, and gained the perfect "love".
