In other words, this "The Lego Movie 2" has really few films, and it doesn't feel as much as the previous "Lego Batman", but as a building block player who doesn't grow up, how can I not watch it, not to mention that I am quite Love the first part of The Lego Movie. So I found a remote theater, sat in the middle of a group of parents with children (really, except for me, all of them brought children), and started this movie with anticipation.
The first is the overwhelming number of stalks, which continues the highlights of the two previous works. "The Lego Movie 2" is still full of all kinds of bizarre fan stalks. Although this film is an animation, it is actually not suitable for children to watch, because after all, children read less films and do not understand these stalks, but for fans like me, it is very useful, and watching the film always makes me A knowing smile, such as "Marvel won't call me back", "Climbing the air duct and meeting Bruce Willis", and the entire wasteland world imitating "Mad Max" at the beginning, and the voice of Chris Pratt The male protagonist meets the Space Star Lord who raises dinosaurs and pretends to be a cowboy (this is really wonderful) and so on.
Secondly, and more importantly, under the framework of the cartoon, this film still tells a more complicated story, and maintains the same correspondence between the building block world and the real world as the first film, and the surface is the adventure story of the building block minifigures , is actually talking about the psychological changes of the little boy in reality. This multi-layered and complex story at least keeps audiences of my age interested and liked it. Compared to the previous "How to Train Your Dragon 3", it really made me sleepy, because that The plot of the film is completely old-fashioned, which makes it difficult for me to get interested.
It is also worth mentioning that the environment and atmosphere of the young girl galaxy ruled by the villain in this film are created and rendered, which I personally think is quite good. The main creator uses colorful houses, brainwashing Divine Comedy, weird big-grained villain images, stickers for attack, pendants on the top of the cradle and other elements, which really caught a glimpse at the end of the first part, the kind that comes from ignorant babies The strange feeling created by the unconsciousness in the mind is expressed, making people feel that there is a scary thing hidden in the innocent and colorful world on the surface, there is a kind of dream version of the wonderful experience (especially the three styles of Wonder Woman appear at the same time. when).
In fact, although this film tells a more complicated story, it is relatively routine and bland throughout the first half, although there is still enough suspense to attract the audience, such as what is the end of the world? What is the villain's motive? But all other plots are basically straightforward, and even the maturity of the hero under the influence of "spiritual mentor" Rex is basically reflected in a large number of lines, without any decent adventure and event promotion. In addition, several MV-style songs and dances were inserted into the already very watery plot in the first half, which further dragged the rhythm. Although there were singing and dancing scenes in the first two LEGO movies, the quality was obviously much better than this one. It can be considered interesting, but the song and dance scenes in this film are not informative and not interesting. Therefore, although the reversal in the second half is still quite exciting, it still cannot cover up the mediocre first half.
And I feel that compared to the first film, "The Lego Movie 2" is not as good as the first film in terms of visual effects and action scenes. Although there is a wonderful display of the young girl galaxy, there are very few really designed action scenes, even as a Lego There are not many scenes related to building blocks in the theme movie, and there are no bright spots. I still remember the scene at the end of the first film where the male protagonist transformed the vehicles in the city into weapons and drove the Lanxiang mecha to face off against the enemy. There is really no such scene in the second film. Moreover, those supporting characters who fought bravely in the first film, such as Batman and so on, have become bribed and brainwashed buffoons in this film, and the final battle did not come in handy.
What I want to talk about next is what I have been most worried about in the process of watching the film, about the various problems in this complex story that corresponds to the world of building blocks and reality. In terms of correspondence with the real world, this film is more complicated than the first film. In the first film, only the male protagonist and the president correspond to the son and the father, establishing a simple opposition between innovation and conservativeness, which has a negative impact on the main line of the story. It is only these two who have an important influence. But by the time the second story becomes complicated, there are more characters that can affect the main line, and the corresponding correspondence with reality needs to be more rigorous. The hero and heroine and Rex in this film correspond to the struggle between innocence and maturity in the little boy in reality (the little boy desires to be mature and cool, but his heart is unwilling to accept the change and no longer naive), the villain corresponds to Sister, ahh, doomsday corresponds to the mother who confiscates toys. These are all characters that can affect the main story, and it seems that there is no problem, but Rex was accidentally left under the washing machine and so-called abandoned by his partner, and then traveled back through time and space. In the past, he wanted to change his own destiny. These plots have no corresponding in reality. The reason why Rex became mature and cruel is clear, but how does the little boy mature in reality? The reason for this is not given in the film. If it is said that the little boy is disliked by children of his age because of his naivety in reality, it can be matched, but it is still inexplicable to travel through time and space. It feels really messy.
There is also a point that I can't understand in the film's conception. The logic of the film is: I have naive optimism and imagination, so I can forgive my sister who grabbed my minifigure and smashed my building blocks, but these two things are nothing at all. relationship! My naivety, optimism and innocence does not mean that I have to endure the wanton smashing of my things by the bear children! Besides, it is said that the bear kid actually wants to play with you by smashing, smashing and robbing your toys. I will never believe this kind of words! Even if I really want to play together, but the damage caused is real, can I just write it off? If the last theme of the first "The Lego Movie" can still hit me, this one really makes me I can't quite agree.
In general, my viewing process is still full of fun, and I do like to add slightly complex and adult-oriented plots and ideas to cartoons. Of course, the problems with the plot also made me feel many times during the viewing process. Pity.
(In addition, since all the parents with children were sitting next to me, when the villain corresponding to my sister in the film appeared, the arrogant children around me started to make a fuss. The bear’s parents started chatting non-stop on WeChat, so when I watched this film, I also had a very special sense of substitution...)
