...i sat there, bewildered and wondering one thing: Wot?
if you havent guessed i just watched "Lego the Movie" a movie wich the internet got crazy over for a while. this movie about legos, little plastic building bricks actually made me cry. then i wondered "why did i cry at such a scene" it isnt a particularly sad scene and actually its a really heartwarming scene. but its more than that, it really strung some of my chords but i guess i need to go back a bit.
now before i just want to say that this next part is going to be filled with SPOIIIILERS!!! ALERT SPOILERS!
now thats out of the way time for a synopsis: so emmett is a standart constuction worker living in a town rulled by "president business" but one day while following a strange and lovely girl emmett falls down a hole and finds some kind of red brick thing. later on he meets a prohet who says hes the chosen one that will lead the way and destroy business's plans to end the world as we know it. how will he do this? well we learn later on that theres a bunch of worlds like space land and western land and everyone interacted with each other and built all kind of crazy stuff. but then business came in and hated all this "chaos" so he stuck all these lands behind walls, but now that he found the mystical articaft known as the "kragle" (its just Krazy Glue) he will stick everything in place so everything is all nice and neat. so emmett must stop him with the help of batmand and the other 2. later on joins a 80's sci-fi spaceman and other people. a bunch of stuff happens until the end where emmett falls down business's giant tower and falls into the real world! yes turns out all the movie so far was nothing but a kid's fantasy. however it dosent end here. turns out the kid's dad owns all the legos and is basicly business. now after emmett is returned back into the lego world he has a very interesting speech with the bad guy actually being his dad and how he dosent need to be the bad guy and after on they hug and thats where i cry. i cried because me and my father arent very close and what i saw truly reminded me of me and my dad in a way i cant really comprehend and it made me stop and pounder. what about this movie made me like it so much? honestly, everything! there was not one part where i felt it was out of place or where the actors werent credible. the stopmotion of the movie was really well done except for a part in the ocean where the waves move at 10 FPS but except for that, this movie was just perfect in capturing what it was like to be a kid and invent a world of fantasy. where you would see a world truly to your own and really i think this movie is worth to see it atleast once. weirdly enough i would say an adult or a teen could like it much more than a kid could because this movie shows so much nostalgia for this demographic wich i guess explains its explosion on the internet (albeit short one) all in all this movie was great and both the lego characters and real life ones were very likable and well written even if we only knew the real life characters for a fraction of the movie it was a great reveal wich i think is great.
and so after this wall of text i can safely say that this movie is a great one not only for kids but for everyone who ever had a childhood and for this, i give this movie my Greatness seal of aprooval
thank you everyone this was mickio, signing out and wishing you all a good night.
