However, if we define whether a work is clichéd in the form of a story outline, then probably all works in human history will have to be classified as "cluttered clichés". So we can't look at things from an overly macro perspective. In my eyes, "The Lego Movie" is not a cliché, but an interesting and inspirational story composed of countless brilliant ideas and ridiculous spoofs. Just like Lego toys themselves, they were originally just some square or round jack toys, but once they are operated by open wisdom, they can form amazing things.
One of the most important functions of animated movies is inspiration, and inspiration is inevitable in clichés. Diosi's success remembers nothing more than achieving self-breakthrough through personal efforts, but Lego will not let a group of building blocks play "Let Happiness Knock the Door" anyway. How to avoid clichés? As I said earlier-creativity and spoofs. Lego released a "Lego Batman Movie" in 2013, which played a role in DC's superhero team Justice League. With such a lively stalk, it is natural to not use it. Therefore, most of the spoofs or spoofs in "The Lego Movie" are still borne by the members of the Justice League. This is a bitter for Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and other superheroes who are wise and martial in movies and animation. Da Chao has become a little useless gunny, and Green Lantern has become a good friend of Da Chao. The worst person to be hacked is Lord Wayne, a grim smile from beginning to end, but from time to time he shows his amusement. At the end, he was abducted by his girlfriend by the actor. "It didn't take long to walk out of the shadows!"
In recent years, American comic superheroes have become the most popular entertainment topic. As long as you dabble in superhero animations and movies, the superhero stalks in "The Lego Movie" can make you smile. DC is always one step behind Marval in strategy. The second part of "Avengers" is about to come out, but "Justice League" has not even made a script. It can only rely on Batman and Dachao to support the popularity. . "Lego Movie" can be considered as a pavement for "Justice League" in advance. After all, several major members of the league have appeared. Now I can make fun of them. When the live-action movie comes out, they will all become bitter and bitter. The lord of it.
In addition to the spoof of superheroes, countless classic American movies have not escaped its "devil". Han Solo, Chubacca and C3PO of "Star Wars" have left the country, and the Millennium Falcon was stolen by Batman and swallowed by space bugs; Dumbledore and Gandalf were not the only one who could tell the difference; Lincoln The President, The Simpsons, NBA stars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Terminator, 2001 Space Odyssey, The Red Dead Trilogy, Transformers, the rescued Jiang Ge, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Robot Walli, The Matrix, etc. The bridge section to be swayed so much that I couldn't stand it. These ideas are densely and cleverly placed in every corner of the animation, so that I feel a kind of violent feeling, many ideas are enough to hold up a paragraph. For example, in a scene where good and evil are confronting each other, the background music suddenly sounded like the classic whistle in the opening of "The Good, the Good and the Third", and it instantly felt like the world was killing, the ugly building block villain unexpectedly added Clint Eastwood's. Vicissitudes of gunman temperament.
And even if these ideas and spoofs are aside, the animation is well-designed in structure. The initial animation just showed a world of Lego bricks, and the audience also thought it was just a grievance between a group of brick people. But as the story progresses, a trace of power beyond the building block world gradually leaks out. For example, the weapon that destroys the world is actually glue, the magic weapon is a small carving knife, and the ghost of the wise appears in the image of a disconnected puppet. , All hint at the hidden role behind the audience's building block world-human beings. The timing of the appearance of the role of real humans is also grasped at the right time by the animation, because the confrontation between justice and evil in the world of building blocks can be seen as a confrontation between absolute freedom and absolute order, and this is not a question that can be easily answered. When the contradiction reached a fever pitch, the picture suddenly changed and entered the real world, and then transformed the contradiction into a confrontation between the father's adult thinking and the child's innocent thinking. The complex social issues were resolved in two or two ways, and it was not unwise.
So I firmly believe that it is very unfair that "The Lego Movie" did not win a series of film festivals. No matter how creative, funny or inspirational it is, it has drawn several ranks in the DreamWorks work "How to Train Your Dragon 2", which won the Golden Globe Award and the Annie Award for Best Animation. I can't speculate maliciously that DreamWorks is now in an eventful season, and the award to "How to Train Your Dragon 2" may be out of comfort to DreamWorks!
