![]() ![]() ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #4: Galbatorix has a Dragon Rider under his command, named Murtagh. A difference though is that Eragon hates king Galbatorix, but Emmet likes and believes in President Business. ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #3: In both Eragon and The Lego Movie, the protagonist is woefully ignorant, and is guided along by a wise and old mentor. In The Lego Movie Wyldstyle rescues Emmet. However in Eragon, his “girlfriend” does not rescue him from jail, instead he rescues her as he finds her when he gets chucked in prison by the badguys. ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #2: The main character accidentally runs into a girl, and falls into love with her at first sight. ![]() In The Lego Movie, Emmet is captured immediately after finding the Piece of Resistance. In the book Eragon the main character hides the object (a dragon egg) and – at least for a while – is fairly safe. That’s the similarity, but there is also a difference. He randomly finds an object that suddenly makes everyone wanting to kill him. ➡ Eragon & The LEGO Movie Similarity #1: The main character is clueless and powerless at first, and is an average person. As far as The LEGO Movie, as a LEGO fan you have likely seen it already so I won’t summarize the plot, but instead dive right into the similarities between the book Eragon and The LEGO Movie. There is an evil king named Galbatorix, and the protagonist is named Eragon. It is about the land of Alagaesia, and the wars of the people living there. In case you haven’t read the book or seen the movie, Eragon is a fantasy novel, somewhat like Lord of the Rings. I have noticed some similarities between the plot of The LEGO Movie and Eragon, so I thought to start a discussion on it here. It is a very popular book with young readers, is a New York Times bestseller, and was also made into a film (which I haven’t seen, and my friends who are fans of the book didn’t like it – the book is always better than the film, right?). #Comparing eragon the movie to eragon the book seriesYou may have heard of the book Eragon, which is the first in a series of four books by Christopher Paolini, who began writing the story at the age of 15. Along with a mysterious anti-hero who lends his fighting abilities. With the mentoring of a cantankerous aged warrior named Brom (no, he's not played by Alec Guinness, but by Jeremy Irons), Eragon discovers he has a great destiny and ancient powers (no, they're not Jedi mind tricks-oh wait, they kinda are). When a beautiful rebel fighter Arya (no, she's not a princess) gets captured by an evil emperor's henchman (no, he's not voiced by James Earl Jones), something Arya has stolen (no, it's not Death Star plans) lands in Eragon's hands (no, it's not via droid). Really, this is the story of a galaxy far far away … in Mordor.Įragon (newcomer Edward Speleers) is a poor farm boy (no, not on a moisture farm) who's been raised by his uncle (no, there's no Aunt Beru) in a remote area of a land called Alagaesia (no, there aren't two suns). And while the plot is Star Wars, the feel is of a poor man's Lord of the Rings. But stripped down in this lifeless and forced screenplay by Jurassic Park III scribe Peter Buchman, all we get is the tale of Luke Skywalker-with a dragon instead of a lightsaber. Perhaps the book has more unique elements and compelling plot. However, if the film version is any indication, Paolini's tale shows his age-and that he must really like the original Star Wars film. I've never read his novel Eragon, which he wrote at 17. I'm afraid that happened to author Christopher Paolini. Impressionable and naïve, I had no idea how much I had absorbed from it and merely spit back onto the page. To my surprise, my book was practically a chapter-by-chapter rewrite of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. When I was a teen, I decided to write a novel. ![]()
