4. About The Movie
Emmet is just your average Lego guy he does the usual watching of “Where’s
My Pants?” on the tele, and then heading to work his construction job. That is
when it all happens as one day he stumbles upon a Master Builder(MB)
looking for the answer to the bad guy problem(it’s a cap to super glue tube)
but that MB gave up, and Emmet went up and stumbled upon well fell
through a big hole and got the cap stuck on him as he then gets a pep talk
from the like Sensei Builder and is found to be a master builder himself “The
Prophesied One). This is the when Wyldstyle, Benny, Unikitty, and Batman
come in to help Emmet save the world.

Builder around town whos
getting pushed and expected
to be this professional as he’s
the “Prophesied One” cutting it
clean though hes not so good
at this new job as he has been
this “average Joe”

6. The Cute Cool Girl
Coming in with a big
appearance Wyldstyle takes
this challenge of helping this
new builder and the important
quest to save the world, she
plays the game tough and
hard that she has got it on her
own

7. Rocket Man
Benny is there to help in this
drastic conquest as he himself
is a master builder who sticks
to the same design and is
quick and happy to make if
needed(it’s a spaceship) he’s
there to play as another part
of this builder crew helping
Emmit out

8. Helpful Hand

happy, positive, and help out
and she does just that as this

nice and there for him when
he’s just feeling down from
this new big conformity

puts Emmit down about his
capabilities in building being
embarrassed and made fun of
as well as providing Emmit
that strive to tackle this
conformity and join

10. There’s a Link!?

11. The Link
These individuals all come together in the common quest to save the world.
All these individuals have no idea about the other truly only know them to be
another face they’ve seen in the halls. They are brought together and forced
to comply with another to see the mission done but instead you get all these
individuals conforming. Throwing things and acting as if to be like one another
especially for Emmit he is the biggest case of it as he must adapt to them.

12. Emmit
Wyldstyle
Benny
Unikitty
Batman
● (E)In front of the Master Builders had
mocked about his awesome building
skills lying
● (W)When Batman came into picture
totally changed how she acted fiting to
him
● (B) Benny worked to handle his outburst
of building it his way but doing with the
group cooperating building together
instead of him and his spaceship love
● (U) Her methods had been quite
positive very pure but coming along on
such a hard journey and what they are
doing her hands now get dirty
● (B)Do to the tough guy act behind his
duty he finally conformed to working
like a true member of the team as he
starts caring

13. The Builder’s Quotes

14. Emmit: “O.K., I'm just going to come right out and say I have
no idea what's going on.”
Wyldstyle: “Come with me if you want to not die.”
Benny: ”Underwater spaceship!?”
Unikitty: ”Stay... positive......stay.........ah, forget it!
DIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!”
Batman: “One of those ideas sounded good.”

15. My View
I see that the use of conformity in
the case of the Lego Movie is very
interesting as it focuses on
Emmit’s troubles but shows the
others conflictions but soon then
comes the get together on the
same page, all of them partially all
acting like someone their not but
maybe that all the title “Master
Builder” really is
