A film review written by me in my 14th year of high school
Ridiculous, naive, ridiculous, and inexplicable, these words perfectly interpret this movie.
The villain of the movie has a weird name, called "Lord Business" (Lord Business). He is not satisfied with the world of Lego bricks (Master Builders) using various Lego bricks to transform the world in a mess. So he defeated most of the master builders and locked them up. Separate the world into different regions, each region cannot communicate with each other. People live in different areas and happily follow the strict schedule of the assembly line set by the business king who has become the "Present Business" (Present Business) and live happily. Yes, although everyone lives strictly according to the rules set by the business president (everyone who doesn't follow them is dead), everyone lives happily every day. But the business president still couldn't understand that people still live differently under such strict rules, so he used the last weapon-502 glue (well, what other names are called in the movie, but it is still called this way. By the way), I want to fix the building blocks forever according to what he imagined.
Use your imagination! ! That's right, the only hope to save the world lies in the legendary "resisting fragments"-the lid of the 502 glue bottle. Therefore, there is the prediction of the white beard architect at the beginning of the movie: there will be a most special person in the universe who will save the world with "resistance fragments", "All this is true, who makes them rhyme."
The main contradiction in the film lies in the "special" and "universal", which is the core of the entire film. Many architects who knew the prophecy wanted to be the "special person" who saved the world, so they practiced hard, with a simple and beautiful purpose, and wanted to defeat the business president and exchange for a free country that had no rule before. It's a pity that they all want to be special people so much that none of them can be special people. The person who became the "special person" was nothing more than an ordinary construction worker named "Emmett". Emmet is a thorough ordinary person, earnestly following the life process set by the business president every day, and living a carefree life. One day, he unintentionally discovered the fragments of resistance and became the "special person" that many people wanted to be. No one is willing to accept that the person with the resistance fragments is an ordinary person, even the big villain business president does not agree, so everyone finally found: Well, he is really an ordinary person, there is nothing special.
But is it really nothing special? I personally think that the master architect in the building block world symbolizes the social elites in our lives, and people like the protagonist Emmet, it goes without saying that they refer to ordinary people. But he is just an ordinary person, he is not a waste material, he is not a person who lives in a muddle every day, many people always look down on this kind of people, thinking that they "just follow the trend, have no opinion, no vision" Yes, we Such people are underestimated in life, but they are also them, working together, can build a building in one day, and they are also contributing to the world. They are not like those social elites who feel that they "live to change the world." They are more self-aware than anyone else, knowing that they are not elites, but they do not despise themselves. They live optimistically, live their lives well, and live their lives seriously.
In an emergency, the white-bearded architect who gave the prophecy suddenly told Emmet the truth, "I made up the prophecy, but what I want to tell you next will change the course of history... ." Then, then the white beard died. Hmm, because his head was cut off by the business president using a dollar coin as a dart. So no way, his ghost had to go on and finish what he wanted to say. "The reason I made up that prediction is because I know that as long as there is resistance fragments, that person will definitely become a special person." Well, this kind of magical statement like the chicken or the egg still has no effect on the plot. . At the last moment, Emmet jumped into the black hole with the battery of the 502 shell timer.
Then, I personally feel that there is still a contradiction in the movie that has been played down a little bit-"the contradiction between business and free creation" (after all, this is an animation for an hour and a half, so I can’t talk too much). The business president likes Unity. Is it the essence of business? Erasing personalization, a product, no matter how perfect, no matter how focused on user experience, no matter how to provide the so-called personalized service, can’t change the fact that the girl’s thing is mass-produced, you have me and you, big companies I hope everyone is the same, everyone can use their products. The business president is like this, unable to accept that kind of personalized difference, so he will create that kind of world, hoping that everyone in it is the same, every morning the TV station shows the same show, and the weekly music chart is always one. Song, every day people are living the life they had lived yesterday.
And what about the master builder? They admire individuality, each of them has a different style of building blocks (Batman only uses black or dark blue building blocks, astronauts only want to build spaceships) and they are like the kind of secular rebels. For example, the iPhone is not open enough, so some people made things like jailbreaking. Later, Android came. Is it open enough? It's not a group of people who have made all kinds of ROMs. No matter how considerate you are doing this thing (for example, now iOS 8 basically makes people have no reason to escape from jailbreak, but I promise someone will come up with something new to slap Apple in the face) there are always such people in the world, they The objection is not your product, but the situation where everyone is the same, they hate the world, they like to be different.
Okay, stop it, it's a bit digress, but in the end I still have to explain my personal position, neutral. This kind of thing is not good or bad. In the movie, the world of business presidents is an authoritarian world. There are many things in it that are inconsistent with our concepts. They are all of the kind, um, "evil" but, There is still the sun in that world. Are people unhappy in their lives? Many movies like to use gray to describe the authoritarian world, but in this movie, the authoritarian world is colorful, and the authoritarian life is beautiful. Is not it? Don't you like the iPhone in your hand? Isn't this the product of Apple's "authoritarianism"? Similarly, jailbreaking is also a good thing, and it can also make our lives better. A physics problem can be solved by kinematics or functional relations. The process is complicated and simple, but the result is exactly the same. There are many ways to achieve happiness, and autocracy is one of them. There is no right or wrong, it's just the opposition of ideas.
Anyone who has watched this movie knows that Emmet can save the world by jumping into a black hole? Ha ha, ha ha, don't be naive, don't be fooled by this animation. When Emmet fell to the end of the black hole, he finally discovered: Uh, he just fell from the table where the Lego bricks were placed to the ground...Finally, he saw the "person above"-it turns out Just a kid playing with building blocks, eh, to be honest, I've been thundered to death when I see the movie here. Then, suddenly, Dad went home, and then we knew that the world of Lego bricks was just Dad’s personal collection! After returning home, he saw that his collection was messed up by his son and made a fire. Then, he took out from the drawer,,,,,,, ha ha, more 502 glue. Emmet realized that this product is the real "business president".
Yes, the day is over, and the setting sun shines a reddish light into the room, and the child is reluctant to help his father clean up the mess in front of him. How humble Emmet was at this time, not even a person, just a small building block man. Everything is over, all efforts have been in vain, and the business president’s conspiracy cannot be unsuccessful. Emmet desperately wants to move and stop all of this, what can he do? When Dad was looking for a knife, the child put Emmet into the world of building blocks again. He really didn’t want to see the toys stuck and became Dad’s collection forever. As a result, Emmet finally showed his ultimate weapon-his hand to the business president.
Yes, resisting fragments is not the only way to save the world. He invited the business president to join the architects. He hoped that the business president would stop. Although the things made by the architects are messy, despite the differences everywhere, all of them are still very beautiful. "Actually, you don't have to be a bad person. You are the most talented, most noticeable, and outstanding person in the universe. And you have a lot of amazing skills because you are unique." The villain’s business president was stunned when he heard these words, and Emmet continued, “Me too. Everyone is unique. The prophecy is fabricated, but it’s true. It’s about each of us. At this time, At this moment, this is about you, and you still...can change everything."
When my father heard these words, he was also stunned. He walked slowly in front of the child, squatted down, and hugged him, just like the president of a business hugged Emmet-that ordinary building without any special expertise. Workers are the same.
