[To Hell With Poverty]

I saw the movie opening night and you are absolutely correct. The author here is dead wrong. What I saw was a fascist/corporatist dystopia that was overturned by ordinary human ingenuity set free to pursue individual dreams. The Lego folks were kept unaware of their true talents and desires by a constant drone of media fed propaganda/bread and circuses pablum (sound familiar?) but as soon as they heard another perspective they snapped out of it. The movie really gave me hope, not to mention it was freaking hilarious from start to finish, fast paced, witty, cleverly executed, etc etc etc.

Freepers! Don’t listen to this drivel! The author wants to suggest something that isn’t there in order to obscure the real message of the film. Go see the it, you’ll love it!!!

Thank you for posting this. My family was really looking forward to the film, and then I started seeing things like “communist”, “church/state issues”, and the like. Now we can look forward to it again! : )

Not all businessmen are good....In fact, many businessmen hate competition and free enterprise, and will seek out to use government to keep out competition.

Saw the movie last night and your comment is spot on...

I was quite surprised by the ending...

It did take about half the night to get this "Everything is Awesome" earworm out of my head...

You are so correct. We saw this movie last night and it is an ANTI-STATIST film.
