Wall e is a movie about a robot who is a trash compactor left on earth to clean up after the world has apparently gone to nuclear war.
This is an example of a Dystopia because although the robots are quote on quote making the humans life easier they, the humans, are missing a important aspect of life, interaction to other humans. they, the humans are confined in their "awesome" chair from the moment they were born. it changes their outfits, bring them their food, and blocks them from seeing each other because who needs to see each other when they can watch TV? its all an illusion but the way the directors go about it in this movie is different because the humans aren't being oppressed by anyone but themselves when i saw the trailer i assumed it was the robots oppressing them but all they really doing is following the rules and that is to serve.

Real Steel
"Real Steel" is a futuristic movie about technological advancements. Instead of humans fighting each other for money, robots are. These robots were created to fight eachother untill one is unable to function.
Personally I was excited to see this movie. when I saw the trailer the premises was brilliant. using robots in boxing rings instead of humans, I am a boxer myself so to see steel fighting it out in the ring would be a change of pace for me and another reason is it'll save humans from being injured. which let me to believe "are these robots used in wars too?", it'll save a lot of innocent lives.Or kill a lot of them, think about it The manufacturing of these robots will definitely trigger competition. which kid in the sandlot wouldnt want to hold the best sand shovel?. Dont get me wrong this is a way of using technology in a positive way, but where there is yin theres always yan.

Masakatsu Sashie
Masakatsu Sashie is a pop and architectural artist his paintings all have one element that stays consistent and if you need to ask then i do not know what to say. His work, besides being visually strong, ask many question well to me it does like why spheres? is that suppose to symbolize the world with different types of textures and composition? is this time after civilization, is this an entirely pessimistic view of our current state after all, video game machines can’t be that bad and most of all why is a dystopian future so hard to look away from? are we as humans drawn to actually make this a reality?
