Was this movie an allegory for Gnosticism?
No, I don't particularly think so.

Of course.
>>79039617
If anything it's a strike AGAINST Gnosticism since it implies that there is no special knowledge that provides salvation. Emmet is NOT special because he went to the real world and back, that only revealed the aspects of his character that he was relying on the entire time (being able to plan well and get others to work together).
The big action climax of the movie involves EVERYONE in the Lego world being able to do cool shit and making things unique to them. They didn't have to be the hero or recieve divine, special, secret knowledge for it. They just needed a pep talk.

No. Gnostics thought the pathway to salvation was secret special knowledge. Lego Movie was about faith. If anything, Lego Movie is a the protestant reformation against the catholic authority.

>protestant reformation against the catholic authority
In the sense of Catholics claiming that not everyone is qualified to interpret the Bible infallibly and the Protestants strongly believe in personal revelation through Scripture? I guess if you squint, kind of.

It's a fucking CGI movie with DC characters in it. How is it not /co/?
Nah, it was just Hypercrisis: The Movie

ironic shitposting is still shitposting
I enjoyed this movie, but it had a few too many brick jokes for my liking.
You could probably shove any kind of politic message and it'd still make sense.

No, it was a marketing ploy to get more people to buy LEGO. That's all.

Chosen one->Everyone is special->Everyone is special because we all have the capacity to do things.
Yeah, I could get a message about individuality and social cohesion out of this.
