Rating: 7.5/10, 4/5.
The appearance of the younger sister in the last film laid the groundwork for the film, and the plot of The Lego Movie 2 is based on this. The war between father and son subsided for five years, and the brother-sister war broke out completely. Due to the addition of my sister, this film incorporates a lot of cute and colorful styles on the screen. It can be said that this film is a collision of aesthetics.
Strictly speaking, the Lego Movie series is very similar in form to the Toy Story series, both of which are "real people" and toy worlds. The "real" world will exert an influence on the toy world, and in turn, the toy world regards the "real" world as an existence of interdimensional or world boss nature. However, the toys in Toy Story have a stronger self-awareness, and have cognition and feelings for the existence of their owners. The core theme of the toy series is the bond between the toy and the owner. The toy is unwilling to leave the owner, and the owner is reluctant to throw away the toy. It can evoke the deep emotions of every person who once owned a toy but eventually lost it in the process of growing up. Therefore, Toy Story is particularly tearjerker. In contrast to the LEGO series, the toys are almost unaware of the existence of the owner, and the events in the toy world are the projections of the owner's play with the toys, which means that the toys are not performing events autonomously, but are experienced by the owner's operator in various ways. adventures, they live in their master's script. And judging from the two Lego movies, the core theme of this series is the relationship between people who play with toys. The first is father and son, and the second is brother and sister, showing changes in family relationships.
But this Lego 2 doesn't stop there, because the most intuitive impact on the screen is the aesthetic conflict between the sweet little girl and the dead house boy. There are so many popular stalks in the film, the setting and environment of Doomsday Castle always reflect his brother's house attributes. And the cute and unrestrained monster image, the use of crystal powder and bright colors are all the little girls' favorite things. These two visual styles are mixed together, and there is really a feeling of contact with different worlds, so the plot of this film is set as a war between two planets.
However, the narrative of the film did not completely determine the pros and cons. Although the story was first told from the perspective of the elder brother, it gradually switched to the side of the younger sister. In the end, when Emmett ruined the wedding and her brother smashed her sister's toys, who can you say is the real bad guy? The younger sister is nothing more than wanting to integrate into the game world of the elder brother, and the elder brother also reflects the anxiety of the decline in creativity as he grows up thinking. The younger sister's imagination brings a sense of crisis to the older brother. The older brother will feel that his holy land has been invaded, but it is obvious that the little girl does not understand the mind of the boy. The contradiction of values and aesthetics brings substantial conflict to the film.
Let's go to see Toy Story 3 again. The master gave the toys to the little girl who loves toys. The little girl used the toys to create a story that was different from what the master had created before. From this point of view, the brother and sister shake hands with each other in this film. The new creativity brings more vitality to the toy.
Dad, the big boss, has been completely turned off. I didn't expect that there is a hidden boss in this film. The translation of A Mama Doomsday is still in place. Ah, here comes Mom, isn't this the end of toys? In front of this great devil, father can only listen to mother's words. If there is a third installment in the series, maybe this will be a foreshadowing, and maybe a brother and sister will join forces to fight against the mother in the next installment.
