no you dont get it you dont UNDERSTAND this scene at the end of wall-e is so aburpt and emotional. especially in the context. the whole movie it's all been up in the character's faces, filling the frame. but the camera steps back and you see how small they are. so insignificant. massive towering monoliths all around them but at the end of it all.. they're just robots.. two tiny little robots. they're in the shadow and wall-e is *gone*. The bright spark of life has quietly been whispered away. that spark, so small, so bright. the framing gives you the eerie sense of emptiness [emphasised by the previour shot - showing wall-e's lifeless eyes.

there's no emotion there. it's empty. he's gone. not just gone, but the lights aren't on. sure you rebuilt the house but you look inside and nobody's there. the echo of your love doesn't return. it's hollow. it's so sad. i could cry about this for years and years and years. so much is being told. EVE was lifting his eyes and they dropped back down in the most robotic way possible. no swagger or humanity or personality. just back to inhuman efficency. compared to the swift, sweeping, emotive movement throughout the movie - this feels not just bad, but wrong. there's only about 2:30 from wall-e "reanimating" until he comes back completely. but that 2 and a half minutes. its some of the most heart-tugging animated movie i've ever seen.

"The Release from Deception,"

Carved from a single block of marble, it depicts a fisherman being released from netting by an angel, allegorical to the man being liberated from his sins.

So intricate was the work that 18th-century philosopher Giangiuseppe Origlia described it as “the last and most trying test to which sculpture in marble can aspire.”

Queirolo worked alone on his magnum opus, without an assistant or even a workshop. Even other sculptors refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.

The masterpiece is housed at the Sansevero Chapel in Naples, with several other miracles of marble. Namely, "The Veiled Christ" (1753) by Giuseppe Sanmartino and "The Veiled Truth" (1750) by Antonio Corradini.

Francesco Queirolo (1752-1759)
