Lego Inaccuracies

There are a lot of documentaries out there today that discuss some important achievements, events, people, or even disasters that have occurred in history throughout the world, but I would have never thought that there would be one that talked about one of my favorite childhood toys, LEGOs. The documentary started off giving a brief history of LEGOs and what exactly they were, but then showed how it was more than just a couple of bricks. I liked this because it showed that LEGOs have been apart of the world’s history and it even continues to help us advance our civilizations and our knowledge of the universe by influencing them to build and create new things. I think that this documentary is one of the best documentaries that I have seen. I
was able to learn and see more of my childhood toy and all of the potential that it can do. The documentary had shown LEGOs being used as a toy, as models, in movies, as art, and much more.
They have met several people and talked to them about LEGOs and what they thought of it and what they had used it for. With all of this information that was given to me from there research is incredible and because of this I believe that the documentary is a credible source. Ever since I got my very first LEGO set I fell in love with them. I would be able to build and create anything that I could put my mind to, and that is what I saw in the film. This film showed how much LEGO has impacted hundreds of lives, which is why this is my pathos. The only thing that I did not like about the movie, which falls into my logos, was how the film was organized. It’s not a big deal, but the way the film started was in space but then went away from it and came back to it at the very end of the movie. I forgot about it until the film mentioned it again at the end. I think they should have put the intro near the end. When I heard that the next film was going to be about LEGOs I was interested in what it would turn out to be even if I did not know if it would be good or bad. I believe that this documentary is the best and most in depth film that talks about LEGOs ever or the at least the only one that I have seen. I appreciated how the film showed actual LEGO sets and some stop motion LEGO films instead of having someone just say what they were. It is always good to have some visual
aids.
No one would have ever guessed what LEGO was capable of doing until they see this documentary. This film as interviewed several people from across the world and has showed us how LEGO is affecting their lives. LEGOs have been used by NASA to create miniature models of satellites and rockets, they are used to bring people together and learn to socialize and work together with others, and they are used to map out the traffic (Davidson & Junge). These are what had I thought were the greatest things that LEGO has been able to do. Yes it was actually the individual people who have done these accomplishments but they would not have happened if not for these bricks.
Now that I am older and have since stopped playing with LEGOs, there will be times where I look back at all of the creation that I have made and what they have influenced me to do with my life. Because of LEGOs being in most of my life, it has made me decide to try to go into a field that involved creating and building things that could help others. It’s amazing to learn that LEGO has done so much to help the world. I would have never thought that even adults use LEGOs in my entire life. My view on LEGOs have changed after watching the film. It has made me love LEGOs even more than I use to. When I have children, I will make sure to give them one of the world's greatest invention ever.
