Tarde's Emergence of Values

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2016)

The movie felt like a LEGO commercial, but it was so obvious, especially when showing the different worlds and themes, that it was fine, it just seemed like a satire of their own ads.
For me, the jokes were very good, we really see the traditional (super)heroes act differently than normally, because they are "played" by a kid, who puts his own thoughts in his LEGO toys.
What's most interesting is the idea that there's no absolute bad - at some point it stops to be the idea of following the rules, use logic vs creativity : when both are together, there is a transformation of the world, of this LEGO world, that Gabriel Tarde would describe as an emergence of values. Something new, different, is created, because of the confrontation of both entities. Unlike most movies, it's not a duality (bad vs good, tyranny vs rebellion) in which one wins against the other, it is really a transformation.
So the next question we could ask is if they used this method to build this movie : did they really, put the values of the producers (eg. : make money), of the actors (e.g. : be well known), of the spectators (both kids and more grown-ups), etc. in confrontation to come with a fresh, new movie that would not have been created if, for example, the values of the producers dominated the others... I like to think so, to think that this story is after all, meta-communication about the movie!
