EIFF: The Lego Movie
Fighting the tyrannical hands of capitalism has never been so awesome!!!
Dirs. Christopher Miller, Phil Lord / United States / 2014 / English
The colourful LEGO® blocks have been a childhood staple for many generations and, with its first-ever full-length movie, LEGO® brings the magic of playing to the big screen. Emmet is a disgruntled construction worker who becomes an unlikely hero in the fight against the greedy President Business (voiced by Will Ferrell), who threatens to put a stop to creativity by gluing everything in the LEGO® world to match his tyrannic dreams of perfection. An unexpected anti-capitalist tale, The Lego Movie unites the likes of Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Banks, Morgan Freeman and Chris Pratt to build an homage to the creative power of imagination that is as inspirational as it is fun. Plus, it features one of cinema’s all-time catchiest songs.
