Watching 'Emoji' movie...

Watching the 'Emoji' movie over the holidays was a neat family trip that we went on yesterday to take our youngest to watch. Suffice to say that I saw the first part and then the last part as it has been an exhausting week with so much going on with the last couple of days of the school holidays left to enjoy.

It was also funny to reflect on how this movie wouldn't have even been made a decade ago in not having the technology nor the understanding of the metaphoric innuendos of what each of the characters stands for but sure loved the animation and colours - wow! talk about bright.

It was the usual story of a 'guy' who doesn't fit in and then goes on a quest to find the answer to his problem (self identity?) and picks up a couple of 'misfits' along the way to spice up the story. And then there are the baddies who almost always get to catch him but then are foiled in some way, shape or form.

So when I woke up in the last 15 mins of the movie, I hadn't really lost out on the plot and got to see the twist at the end and the resolution of how all ends well with the 'baddy' in prison of sorts. The usual 'feel good' ending so that children (and adults) can walk out of a movie feeling that the world is not such a bad place after all. And that's my brief discourse analysis for the day...
