The LEGO Batman Movie: A Dad's "Raising"!

Hellen 2022-04-22 07:01:22

Moms and dads, you should all watch The Lego Batman Movie recently. Those who haven't watched it should already be on their way to the cinema, or are being begged by their children.




The Chinese version of the poster
is the same as the stories of many heroes. "The Lego Batman Movie" has many routine plots: the story of the hero Batman preventing the clown from committing crimes for the safety of Gotham City.

It is estimated that Americans can think of designing funny clowns to be bad guys. No matter how the clown pretends to be, this face can't be hated.



The clown's stunning appearance
has only one bad guy, but it doesn't reflect the ability of a superhero. There are not only one or two villains in this movie. In addition to the well-known villains Joker and Bane, there are also 39 villains such as the Vine Girl and the Riddler. It is really a bunch of bad guys.


Several random super bosses:



Harry Potter's Nightmare, Voldemort



The eyes of Sauron that can be seen together in "The Lord of the Rings"
also include Smith in "The Matrix", the army of robots in "Doctor Who", as well as strong intrusions such as Jaws, Vampires, Black Lake Monsters, and Medusa.

If you're a big fan of Batman movies and pop music, you should definitely check out this movie, there are so many wonderful easter eggs waiting for you.

But too many intrusions, too many easter eggs, and too many tributes have made this film, which has an excellent reputation abroad, a mediocre reputation in China.

Because a lot of kids and parents who went to the movie theater to see this movie, just to see their favorite heroes and Lego. The picture is lively, who can understand those stalks in the movie.



But I think Batman himself is the most interesting in this movie. Batman went from being alone, walking alone, to being a dad back home.

This is not an epic about a hero "bringing up", but a story about being "bred" by a father.

Batman is a superhero, he does what all heroes should do. There are so many reasons to admire him.

Who doesn't enjoy such a beautiful process.

Batman is so powerful that he looks down on anyone, including other superheroes. The order to open the door of his house is actually "Iron Man is weak!"

Batman, who has a big house, a lot of cars, and a lot of money, has no relatives or friends besides a housekeeper and a computer system. Superman would never invite him to a "Justice League" party.

It's so empty and lonely.


In the Big Mac's big house, one person eats, one person watches a movie, and one person laughs.



Batman himself didn't think there was a problem. Because in his eyes, a hero should be like this, he can't sleep, he doesn't care about the feelings of others, and saving the world is his mission.

Nothing else matters...

But no one has loneliness in their hearts, and so does the superhero Batman. He would surreptitiously look at the family portrait on the wall, although he would never admit it.



Fortunately, in addition to the computer system, there is another person around him - his housekeeper, a person as important as his family, who always reminds him: Batman, you should face your heart.



How can we change the status quo of Batman? Well, God threw him a child in due time. At a party, Batman unwittingly adopts a boy, Robin. Since then, Batman has embarked on a "road of no return".

Batman was originally a bachelor, he was not married, and there was no woman at home. Suddenly there was a child at home, and suddenly he would become your family, and suddenly you have to take care of him... Batman is going crazy, he is determined not to have this child , he wants to send Robin back to the orphanage.

Dads should be very emotional when they see this -

look, Batman is a great superhero who is not afraid to face a load of bad guys, and a child can drive him crazy.

It's not that the father is too incompetent, it's that the child is too scary.



Do fathers feel this way: even if the father is standing in front of the child, the child still has to look for the mother. Dad is sometimes like a decoration, even more like a "symbol".

Mothers always complain, "It's all because you didn't do it well", "You don't know your child too well", "Why don't you usually care about him", "You are still a child, you haven't grown up, how do you take care of your child"... …

The younger the child, the more influenced by the mother, either complaining about the father with the mother, or simply staying away from the father.

What did Dad do wrong? In addition to providing some genes, my father has not experienced the tenth month of pregnancy, and has not experienced the process of growing up in the womb step by step. I can't even understand the feeling of "flesh falling off my body" from my mother.

But many people like to take the standard of being a mother and ask their father.

So in the eyes of many people, women will become mature after giving birth, while men may still be "children".



Any child needs a growth process. The same is true of the "bringing" of the father.

But many fathers do not have such opportunities, or do not want to have such opportunities.

On the one hand, some fathers do not take taking care of their children as their responsibility. The elderly and their wives take good care of their children and are responsible for making money to support their families.

On the other hand, or more often, the elderly and wives in the family do not give Dad a chance. I always feel that men can't do well, that men should not take care of their children at home and "force" their children away from their fathers.

The recently popular and controversial book "The Kingdom of Giant Babies" mentioned this issue. The child and the mother are a natural bond, and the "father" is a "foreigner" from a certain point of view. The two sides are sometimes two camps.



Batman was lucky because he met Robin.

Robin is not at all like the legendary undisciplined child who came out of the orphanage. He is active, enthusiastic, lively, smart, and obedient. He doesn't feel sorry for himself because his adoptive father didn't pay attention to him for a week. His biggest goal is to have a family and have a family portrait of his own.



But it seems that Robin is looking for the wrong person, and Batman is not ready at all, nor does he want to be a father.

The arrogant Batman kept the child because Robin had "use value". All Batman can think of is putting the bad guy Joker in one of the safest prisons, the "ghost zone." But the projector to the "ghost zone" belongs to Superman. How could Batman, who is arrogant and has no friends, open his mouth to borrow from Super, just steal it. And Robin's small body can just pass through the safety protection channel of the projector, which can help him get the projector.

The "father and son" cooperated tacitly, stole the projector together, sent the clown to the "ghost zone" together, and were unfortunately put in prison together.



Batman also has to praise Robin for his excellent performance.
Robin is still a child. Even if he does not know that his adoptive father and Batman are the same person, he still especially hopes that Batman, the superhero, can also become his father.

So, when everyone said that Batman did something wrong, Robin never questioned everything Batman did, not even a single complaint. In his eyes, "bat dad" is his hero, his role model, and his family.

Isn't Robin's love and tolerance for Batman exactly how a child treats the "father" role. But many children do not have the opportunity to express their love to their fathers, and many fathers do not have the opportunity to receive signals.

Fortunately, Batman picked up a signal from Robin.

He is no longer alone, he has the basic configuration of a "family". In addition to Robin, two other roles in the family are arranged in the film: the housekeeper - the grandfather in the family, and Barbara (Batgirl) - the mother in the family.



A family of four crammed into Batman's original one-seat chariot,
a man, who has a home and a child, naturally has a sense of responsibility.

Batman, who has two fists and four hands, will also be defeated and imprisoned in the "ghost zone". At this time, it is no longer his "heroism" that he wants to leave and rescue, but his family and his responsibility as a father.

Eventually the "bad guys" are defeated. But the "bad guy" Joker was not defeated by Batman's "force value", but by Batman's "I hate you". "All the bad things the Joker does are actually just hoping that Batman will recognize him as an enemy.

Many people think this plot is too ridiculous, how can a "bad guy" stop doing bad things all of a sudden.

The Joker is actually a "child", he Allusions to the child's bad mood.



Do dads feel that the clown is familiar: why is the child always disobedient, yelling, beating and scolding him is useless... In fact, the child just hopes to attract the attention of his father in this way, and always hopes to get his father's affirmation.

The three words "I hate you" are Batman's affirmation of the Joker, and the motivation for the Joker to always strive to "do evil". The Joker "put down the butcher's knife" and was not killed or imprisoned like the bad guys in the past, because Batman is willing to re-look at this "child" from the perspective of his father and tolerate this "child".

So, since Robin can get Batman's love, the Joker also deserves his father's understanding and attention. It is acceptable to accept both the "good" side and the "bad" side of a child, isn't it a change in a father's heart?



At the end of the movie, Batman finally did what a "father" should do, and took the initiative to admit his mistakes. In order to set an example for Robin, he hoped to return to the "ghost zone" to serve his sentence with the heart of "redemption".

"Knowing mistakes can make a big difference," Ghost District rejected Batman.

Batman, who set off again, is not fighting alone. A hero with a family and children, he knows more about the burden on his shoulders.

    The most affectionate confession in the world is "I hate you"... "Me too"... I was once again overwhelmed by Lego's copyright library. The configuration of the evil alliance is simply brutal, the Eye of Sauron + Voldemort + King Kong + Godzilla + Great White Shark + little monster... Except for Lego, I am afraid that no two can create such a dreamy villain... Every laughter is full of stamina! It can only be said that the screenwriter has penetrated the ultimate meaning of the Batman series... Please avoid the children when watching the movie...

    Cute and bursting, full of Easter eggs, the script is perfect for all ages, Batsy and Pudding are sweet, this sadism is more suitable for Valentine's Day than Fifty Shades of Darkness (If I could only watch one movie on repeat for the rest of my life it'd be this one
