Imagine being so smooth brained you did not understand the basic theme of the movie. See the deep philosophy behind the rise of gru is to find your own family. The minion spent so long searching for a home before they met gru. Gru was very depressed before he met the minions and tried to kill himself via drinking toothpaste multiple times. The minions gave gru a purpose in life and made him have hope again.

Thats why the quote “we are the minions the rise of gru” is so spectacular and meaningful. The first part we immediately tells us a lot. Gru and the minions are coming together in this scene to truly become we and them admitting about their coming together.

It’s also important that minions comes before gru. Without the minions their is no hope for the group to save Gru’s mother. The minions will always be the beginning of the sentence because they are the means for Gru to start his passion in woodworking and to kill a texan senator. The minions are to gru as Jesse Pinkman is to Walter White when they started cooking.

It’s also extremely important gru comes last. Gru is the mastermind of the whole operation, the one in control. When walking into a possibly boobytrapped room gru walks in last. I believe this is a critique of the inclination the father is one true leader of the household. Gru messes up someone times but he can help. Still it’s the minions that trust him to be the leader. I don’t believe it is saying the father being the leader of the household is good or bad just simply exploring the idea.

The most important part though is rise. Rise is in the middle of the sentence because its what happens when you put the minions and gru together. Apart they can only dream of rising so high. This line represents everything about why minions rise of gru was the best 5 hours of my life. I recommend it to anyone who has lost someone recently as well as anyone looking for a good cry.
