IT HAS all the building blocks of a blockbuster: a ludicrous plot, a cheesy theme song (“Everything is awesome”) and stars who are not merely enhanced by plastic surgery but actually made of plastic. Small wonder that “The Lego Movie” rules the American box office. But while children (including your correspondent’s) fall cackling out of their seats at all the slapstick, grown-up pundits are pondering a more serious question: what is the film’s political message?“Practically Communist,” screamed New York magazine’s Vulture blog. “Smart [and] satirical,” agreed Michael Moore, a left-wing documentary filmmaker. “Hollywood pushing its anti-business message to our kids,” fulminated a host on Fox Business Network.The film’s villain is Lord Business, a corporate boss who looks like Mitt Romney and is bent on world domination. The hero is Emmet, an amiable doofus of a construction worker who somehow finds himself leading a rainbow coalition of Lego figures in a revolution that seeks to return power to the people (well, to the Lego figures that look like people).
Thus far, “The Lego Movie” fits the old stereotype of Hollywood peddling anti-capitalist propaganda to kids. The film is also an hour-and-a-half-long commercial for costly toys made by a multinational corporation based in Denmark; a commercial, moreover, that people must pay to see.You can make what you like of “The Lego Movie”, but your correspondent found its message to be pleasingly libertarian: suspicious of top-down power and supportive of individual rights (such as the right of Lego people not to spend eternity in the position Lord Business deems correct). Its target is dull conformity. “Take everything weird and blow it up!” are the instructions to Emmet’s crew at the beginning of the film.Among the institutions it pokes fun at is Lego itself. Once the bricks came in a giant box, and kids were supposed to build what they liked with them; today they are packaged with precisely the right number and type of blocks for a specific purpose, such as building a Death Star.
The film is about learning to break free of the instructions on the box. If it has a fault, it is that it underplays the suffering of parents who tread on Lego bricks in bare feet—a fate that befalls conservatives and liberals alike.The LEGO Movie Videogame - 3 years ago There are three Octan billboards found around Bricksburg that can be changed into a "Question Authority" billboard by Master Builders. Finding and changing all three of them will result in the unlocking of a Red Brick. EditBillBoard #1 The first billboard can be found in the residential square. Looking at Emmet's house, head over to the right. Here you will find a pink fence. Destroy it and create a surface for a female character to wall climb with (This will already be done if you found the Instruction Page or Cat up here. The door to get up here however, needs to be re-opened every time the world is loaded). Once on the roof destroy the red bench. This will reveal a green circle on the ground. Stand on it and aim at the billboard.
EditBillboard #2 The next billboard can be found on top of the train station, above the restaurant near the ice cream truck. Head up the stairs to the top floor with a female Master Builder. On the right there will be netting that a female character can climb. Head over to the billboard and destroy the dumpster right in front of it. You will now have access to the green spot on the ground. Aim at the billboard. EditBillBoard #3 This billboard requires Vitruvius to be unlocked. Using him, head towards the building to the left of the construction site entrance. On the sidewalk you will find a marker. Stand on it with Vitruvius to perform the secret knock. Enter the hole in the wall. When you walk out you will find yourself on the roof. Destroy the barrel and use it to create a small bridge for Vitruvius to walk across. While over here don't forget to head over to the crane and activate the lever with Circle/B. Jump down (go to the right so you won't hit the electrical wires) from this roof onto the roof below.
Head over to the left and enter a half built room. Destroy the small pile of Legos to unveil a green spot. Stand on it and target the billboard beneath you (While on this floor it is also beneficial to activate the crane on this floor with a Construction character. You can then push the Legos the crane drops into the correct spot on the fountain and unlock a Red Brick).
