The Lego Movie
SCORE: 65
The Lego Movie is an interesting film that
can spark all kinds of debate on multiple topics. In some ways this
movie can be very divisive. Before I get to that, let us embark on an
exploration of Emmet - a completely normal construction worker. Emmet is
so normal in fact he is pretty much invisible.
Emmet winds up embarking on an adventure across the different Lego
lands. He was not even aware they existed. Emmet grows and developers
until he eventually becomes a master builder. But The Lego Movie has a
few unexpected twists and turns. I am not going to share them with
Family Friendly Gaming since they fall under spoilers.
The voice actors do a really good job in The Lego Movie. The humor in
this movie is high. Many times at the expense of certain characters
and/or vehicles. The different attitudes are relayed quite nicely in The
Lego Movie. Especially Batman and Superman. Shaq even has a moment.
The violence in The Lego Movie is strange. These are Legos so I get
being knocked into pieces. What I do not get is the explosions and fire.
Where is that coming from?
The Lego Movie teaches some questionable lessons. Like shun law and
order to be creative. Everything that happens is awesome - no matter how
bad. Don’t conform. Don’t follow the structure put in place around you.
Don’t follow the rules, and don’t obey authority figures. What is most
odd about these lessons is it comes out of Hollywood. Who complains
about piracy. If viewers followed the lessons taught in The Lego Movie
they would shun the payment system of order and law; instead they would
pirate the movie. I doubt Hollywood would appreciate viewers doing that.
So why teach a lesson you do not believe in? I think they are trying to
apply it to other systems like following God, and having a relationship
with Jesus Christ. The man upstairs is shown as the one who needs to
change in The Lego Movie.
