| Popis: | With the titular robot as the protagonist, Wall-E (2008) by Andrew Stanton, revives planet Earth after a post-apocalyptic adventure through space one trash cube at a time. The spaceship Axiom houses the last survivors of human rice, drifting across space ignorant of the truth behind Earth’s destruction. The hints of poverty, inequality, famine and conflicts ruined planet Earth can be found in traces throughout the plot. In James Cameron’s Avatar (2009), humans mine the planet Pandora while the inhabitants resist the colonists’ threat against the continued existence of the Na’vi and the Pandoran ecosystem. Earth has run out of energy and is choking in greenhouse gases. Through the genetically engineered humanoid Na’vi bodies, human characters successfully unravel the culture and features of the alien social structure. While Wall-E redeems Earth, Avatar explores the materialistic mindset of man that can potentially lead life on Earth to a halt. The current study evokes the ecocritical scope of the two narratives centred on man’s bleak view of nature and its possible consequences. The Apocalypse warns us that the current Anthropocenean ideal universal, favouring the unmitigated and uncontrolled use of fossil fuels, will prove to be the end of humanity. |
