"Lego Batman Movie": a narcissistic confession by a middle-aged, high-cold internet celebrity

Feel free to watch it and let you know when there are spoilers.

Hi everyone, I’m Lego Batman.
I added the words "Lego Batman" in red and bold (what can't you see? It's not my fault), because I am different from those coquettish bitches in other universes.
My latest personal movie: "Lego Batman Movie", has been released in North America on February 10th, and will land in mainland China on March 3rd together with "Wolverine 3". It's really a narrow road for Yuanjia. I believe you will all go to see these two movies, because I believe that both of them are excellent movies. I can never be wrong, because I'm Batman (Because I'm Batman)!

Back to "Lego Batman". This is a very spoof movie, and at the same time it is also a somewhat serious and warm movie. The two have reached a proper balance in this film.
However, I can't lie to you that if you don't understand the background knowledge at all, you can experience the humor or warmth in it. Because the humor and warmth of the whole film are based on the tribute and reconstruction of the existing background.
What is the scope of this "existing background"? The stalks in the movie can be divided into three levels according to the degree of intensity: the first grade, the American comic stalks, mainly covering DC's Batman, Justice League, and a bit of Marvel; the second grade, the Warner Terriers, mainly covering the previous Warner Bros. Classic movies produced; the third class, Lego Terrier, mainly covers the characteristics of Lego bricks and the world view of Lego homemade movies.
It is worth noting that Lego elements are ubiquitous in this film (this is called the "Lego Movie" after all), and it may be the easiest to ignore because of this. However, because Lego toys are all-encompassing, these comics and Warner elements can be harmoniously framed.
The laughs and tears caused by these stalks filled the whole film, and the information exploded. Few people can understand them all, and it is impossible to see them all in time. So I will interpret them below. Of course, I wouldn’t write about everything (as Batman, how can I admit that I don’t know everything?).
First of all, as I said before, I, Lego Batman, are different from those coquettish bitches in other universes. After years of accumulation, the mainstream Batman image that DC has created for the public may be like this:
He is an ordinary person, but omnipotent. The Green Lantern ridiculed him on the front foot as an ordinary person wearing a bat costume, and he stole his ring on the back foot to give him a slap in the face.


He fought with the most dangerous and perverted criminals in the world alone, and suffered too much from it.
His back was broken by Bain.

His second Robin, Jason Todd, was killed by the Joker. Although he was resurrected, he is no longer the Robin of the past.


Batgirl Barbara Gordon was paralyzed by the clown shooting, and Chief Gordon was tortured.

Because of this, Batman is no longer close to anyone. He is afraid of losing, he wants to protect himself. He always has a low voice and cherishes words like gold.



However, as shown in the picture above, from his series of high-cold behaviors, we gradually smelled a bit of teasing. Stems such as "Because I'm Batman" are gradually emerging.

Batman's bloody vengeance began to be spoofed by melon-eating crowds.
And I, Lego Batman, is the master of this spoof (or the master?). The cold image of Batman who has worked so hard for decades to come to me has been completely subverted. To what extent is this subversion? Have you ever seen Batman with such a rich expression?


——————Spoiler dividing line——————

In Lego Gotham, my life is different from that of other Batman. Here, my life is relaxed and comfortable. Even if the clown bain, the poison ivy girl, the riddle, the mud-faced halle, the scarecrow, the penguin, the freezing man, etc., all the villains came together, it was easily won by me.
Then it is routine to accept the cheers of the people of Gotham.

However, being a local celebrity does not make me happy.

Every time I return to the empty mansion after saving Gotham, I feel deeply lonely and empty.
I eat microwave dinner alone.

The rotating stove is the only light source, casting my lonely shadow on the huge kitchen wall. I will click my mouth when I'm bored.

I swim alone.

I watch love movies alone in the huge screening hall (Every time it's "Mr. Sweetheart" by Brother Tommy). Every time I saw Brother Tom say "You complete me", I would laugh out loud.

But what I did the most was to watch the photo taken when I was a child out of the theater with my parents at the crime alley. Crime Alley, where they fell.

I told them all night about my story about saving the world today.


You may have discovered that even at home, I rarely take off my bat mask, because I have nothing but the identity of "Batman".
When Alfred, the butler, tried to pierce my mask and talk to me, my reaction would be more... violent.

Although I live better than Batman in other universes, I am as fragmented as them.
So, in a sense, I did not "subvert" Batman. There is only one kind of Batman: Broken Batman. It's just that I showed Batman's brokenness through exaggeration, absurdity, and telling the truth like Deadpool. No wonder Alfred wanted to say to me: "You did the same thing in 2016, 2012, 2008, 2005, 1997, 1995, 1992, 1989. The strangest one happened in 1966." Of course, this Each year in Ju Tucao corresponds to a Batman movie, lest you don't know it.
My mission in this film is not to defeat the bad guys (because the bad guys are too weak to help the wind), but to find a complete self.
How can I complete myself? As Tom said, you have to find some people, a family, and a relationship.
In this big family, there are old bones like Alfred, capable and ruthless girls like Batgirl, simple silly boys like Robin, and naughty bad boys like clowns (yes, the clowns in this film) This is the positioning of the company), I must handle the relationship with them.
I must stop shutting them out, let them enter my heart and face the world with them.

My sadomasochism with the clown will be one of the highlights of this film, and it will also be the engine for the advancement of the plot. In fact, our relationship has many expressions in DC's other works. We love and kill each other, regenerate and restrain each other. Many people say that we are two sides of the same coin; or, as stated in "Batman: Fatal Joke", we are actually reaching the same goal by different routes? One of us, or two, will eventually fall into the abyss of immortality?
This kind of perverted relationship has also become a stalk of manga fans, so this relationship has been completely corrupted in this film: the clown wants to attract my attention and become my greatest enemy. So when he knew that I only had Superman in my heart, his heart was broken.

He was so dazzled by love to hate (or hate to love) he recruited other Warner villains from Phantom Zone, including Sauron ("Lord of the Rings"), King Kong ("King Kong"), Voldemort (" "Harry Potter", it is interesting that Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes dubbed Alfred in this film), Smith ("The Matrix") and other terrorist villains or monsters, intending to destroy brother Tan. The reason for all this is just because he wants to win my respect. Let me say to him: "I hate you." As soon as this sentence comes out, the crowds who eat melons off the court will surely be sweet. . After finally teaming up to defeat the various Warner villains, I finally confessed to the clown: "I hate you." The
clown trembled with a smile: "Oh, I hate you more."
"I hate you the most."
"I hate you ." forever."
I seem to hear a voice of a girl's heart melting off the screen.
Finally, thanks to Gotham's friends and villains, we defeated those Warner foreigners together.
In the end, although this film is mainly about DC and Warner, Lego also carries a lot of private goods here. For example, because everything in the Lego world is made up of building blocks, Batman can spell out his own means of transportation on the street.
Also, Batman can kick Bain down and make him unable to get up, because Bain’s Lego doll can’t move, like this (of course, it’s not Bain’s murderous crocodile):

Also, you will have a chance to see the collapse of Gotham in the movie, and the deep places below the surface are colorful, like this:

This is the world view setting of Lego movies, it is the passage from Lego world to the real world—that is, our world.
Finally x3, whether you are a DC fan or a Marvel fan, I hope you don’t care about the opening password of Batman: "Ironman sucks." It’s really fanciful to hear this sentence and feel that it should be two local tyrants. The relationship between the two, rather than the superiority seen in comics.
Finally x4, please watch "The Lego Batman Movie"! And "Wolverine 3"!
