Therapist Reacts to WALL-E

♬♬ Out there...♬♬

Jono: Wall-E is curious.

He's optimistic and sunny and just appreciates things. And he's always looking for connection.

Wall-E: Woa-- Wall-E.

Jono: Right now, his curiosity is getting him into trouble,

but throughout the film, it's going to be his and everybody else's saving grace.

When it comes to curiosity, it needs to be tempered with wisdom and experience.

And Wall-E lacks both at this moment.

♬♬ And that is all... ♬♬

Jono: Thematically and in our own lives, curiosity is contagious.

And what I love about the story of Wall-E is his curiosity passes to EVE,

passes to the captain, passes to John and Mary, and everyone engages with life more fully

when they stop just being complacent and just accepting things.

John: I didn't know we had a pool.

Captain: Computer, define dancing.

♬♬ A moment... ♬♬

Jono: We find solutions and we enjoy and appreciate more.

if we open our eyes with curiosity.

It literally helps everybody to live and to experience things.

That's the theme.

We die when we get complacent and we come back to life when we start being interested.

Alan: Hello and welcome to Cinema Therapy.

I am Alan Seawright, a professional filmmaker who needs...

Jono: A therapy. And I'm Jonathan Decker, licensed therapist who loves...

Alan: Movies.

Jono: What are we doing today? What's going on?

Alan: I don't know, we're doing a fun little intro.

Alan: This is new. Jono: No, I know, but what are we watching?

Alan: Oh, we're gonna watch Wall-E.

Jono: Ooh, ooh!

Alan: Have you seen this film?

Jono: I lov..??

Alan: It's a very good film made by Pixar.

Jono: Don't insult me.

Alan: It's about a robot who falls in love with another robot.

Jono: Sounds hot.

Alan: Real, real kinky.

You shut up!

I'm so [beeping] scared right now. You shut up!
