So, Kim
Kardashian broke the internet flashing her tits and ass in the Paper mag the Winter ’14. Take that for what you will.
Four years
later, Wreck-It-Ralph’s back in his sequel to his ’12 surprise hit in Ralph Breaks the Internet. No, he doesn’t flash his tits and ass. What he does do is learn the life lessons of
acceptance and letting go.
After Vanellope’s
stirring wheel gets broken on her game by accident, she and Ralph have to
travel through the internet to see if they can find the part on Ebay before her
game’s closed down permanently, effectively making her and the other players
homeless; however, along the way, Vanellope grows up and wants to broaden her
horizons to try new games. This doesn’t
sit well with Ralph, who’s happy the way things currently are.
John C.
Reilly and Sarah Silverman both return to voice Ralph and Vanellope
respectively. Now, as an actor and
actress, both are very hit and miss for me, more leaning towards miss, but I
love these characters and can’t hear anyone else’s voices coming out of those
mouths.
Yes, there
are a bunch of Easter eggs in the film, especially when they get to the
internet. There’re a bunch of Marvel and
Star Wars Easter eggs since Disney owns both now. Look for the late Stan Lee’s cameo. He doesn’t say anything and it’s a blink or
you’ll miss it cameo, but he’s there. It
was so fast, I had to You Tube it to make sure I caught it.
I’m glad I
missed all the eggs, because, if I’d known about all of them, I might’ve been to
distracted looking to get the message that came with the film, which, reading
other reviews, that’s what sounds like what happened with other peoples’
viewing experience. This is sad, because
a good film entertains, a great film educates while entertaining without
getting preachy.
Like I said,
the themes of Ralph Breaks the Internet
is letting go and accepting the changes that come with letting go. People tend to have a hard time doing
both. Change brings up a lot of
different feelings. Depending on the
person, they might be healthy, they might not, which not only affects the individual,
but those around said individual.
True, we’re
all responsible for ourselves, but…
If you liked
Wreck-It-Ralph, I’m sure you’ll like Ralph Breaks the Internet. It’s definitely escapism with a heart.
Be good to
each other.
