1. Toderov claims that any film narrative can be divided into the following five steps:
- Equilibrium
- Disruption of equilibrium
- Recognition of disruption
- Attempt to resolve disruption
- New equilibrium
The Lego movie starts off in an equilibrium of emmet thinking " Everything is awesome" and goes through his normal everyday life as if it were normal. Until when leaving work he notices a figure of someone who shouldn't be their and she explains Lord businesses plans and so disrupts the equilibrium, and this is then recognised when emmet and the crew he's with are chased by police through man different Lego settings and especially recognise when they realise what the 'Taco Tuesday' means that Lord business will glue the world in one position to stop people building what they want. The attempt to stop this is by Emmet telling citizens to build what they want to attack Lord businesses army of robots and Emmet goes to see Lord business in his ship and talks him out of gluing everyone/thing. This leads to the new equilibrium where everyone can build what they want as they please and live amongst the Duplo beings.
Great explanation. The attempt to repair the disruption is the majority of the film though - basically, them trying to stop Lord Business!
