    Coming to America (1988) - Barbershop

    Backround
    “Coming to America is a 1988 American romantic comedy film directed by John Landis and based on a story originally created by Eddie Murphy, who also stars in the lead role.”
    This movie was one of my all-time favorites from my childhood, and maybe one of Eddie Murphy´s most popular movies. One of the most memorable scenes was the barbershop scene in which Eddie Murphy acted in several different roles.
     
    The Build
    I wanted to create a Lego version of the barbershop scene. To capture the atmosphere of the shop, I decided to make the build as compact as possible, in order to make the room feel cluttered. I added 4 characters from the scene:
    • Prince Akeem
    • Semmi (friend of Akeem)
    • Clarence (barbershop owner)
    • Saul (customer)
