The Egg Theory

At Awards Daily, Ryan Adams comes up with a WALL-E theory concerning Eve the Robot. Simply put, he sees her and her shape as that of an egg, and the story as an allegory of Christian rebirth and redemption for a dead world. Nice theory. Potentially gives the film a bit of intellectual and artistic depth and credibility. The problem is that even if true, it doesn't impress me all that much. That doesn't rank highly enough on the artistic continuum to suddenly fall at its feet. But it will probably allow the film's ardent fans to continue to proclaim it the greatest movie ever made.
