The Lego Movie (2014) - Everything's Awesome?!

★★★☆☆

‘Everything’s awesome’ is repeated many times in the film, but in reality, it’s seldom heard because we, from the bottom of our heart, don’t buy it, do we? We tend to believe that, well, something’s awesome, but certainly not everything is. We always complain about there being no real good persons in the world, but it’s not things going wrong out there, it’s us! From a Buddhist point of view, the world’s merely the reflection of our mind. If our mind’s screwed up, so is the world we’re in. ‘Everything’s awesome’ only happens in the eyes of the Buddha, the awakening one. We, the sentient beings, can only get to see a messed up world and hardly realize that it’s in fact all up to us!

‘The Lego Movie’ reminds me of ‘Wreck It, Ralph’, a memorable piece of animation that seems a bit absurd at first but it definitely teaches and moves. Said I’d never ever check out another superhero film but this film’s not about Batman or any alike, though it makes a great deal of fun out of heroic characters ever known, it’s about an ordinary soul learning to know at last that he’s indeed extraordinary and capable of amazing things. To be or not to be, that’s the question! No one but you should be responsible for your routine and ordinary life!
