The first time i watched this movie, i suddenly loved his "objective." he was just fixing garbage that were left in the city. he was diligent and focused on doing his only job; to organize the garbage. as he was organizing, he was also collecting rare items that he finds and keeps them at his home. he keeps them. his home is like a huge cabinet of items that reminded of what earth was like before.
at that time, it struck me. i was like wall-e. i have been collecting items that could remind me of the memorable experiences that i had. that is why i collect key chains from the places i visit. i also pick pieces on the street, on the road, or just on my cabinet for me to keep.
it also made me realize why i am a hoarder. i hoard because i want to remember the things and to associate the things that i do with my collectibles. they already serve as part of me, so it's really hard for me to throw them away.
i loved wall-e and i wouldn't mind watching it again and see myself collecting things that looked nothing but means something.
hanggang sa muli, masugid na mambabasa. :)
