Similar to the predecessor, this film is also an animated commercial film full of American fast food culture packaging to capture adult feelings (not a young movie that sells building blocks). And if the official is familiar with the two-dimensional culture of American comics, movies, etc., he will not be unfamiliar with all kinds of stalks in this world. However, although the main theme of this film is the same as the previous one, it is a "brainwashing" film that attempts to break the fourth wall and expounds the "Lego spirit" in a philosophical sense. Resonate with adult players.
In the first part, the film revolves around the contradiction between "the fun of structure" and "restore the huge world". This is the psychological change that every Lego player will definitely produce under the combined effect of age and "persistence to Lego." Although the father played by Will Farrell was finally persuaded by his son in the film, he recovered his original intention of "building block toy", but the behavior of using model glue to glue the finished product to fix the creation is also profound. Players and audiences can understand. This is the first work, where the level of intention is profound.
In contrast to the superficial setting of the sequel with the two themes of "cooperation, sharing" and "diversity" as the core, the only thing that is concerning is the empty basement of the basement. Now that the protagonist of the father's universe has appeared in the son's universe, has the father's Lego City been demolished? This setting alone makes me nauseous waiting for adult players.
"Feelings" or "regrets", there are so many resources in there, it depends on how you tell what kind of story. Overall, this work is an unsatisfactory answer sheet.
