If you are referring to the part I think you are referring to, the thing that
fades over the monolith is the RCX brick. It's always cool when people have
their own interpretations (I like yours!), but this message summarizes what I
was thinking when I did that part:

Just goes to show that if you make something weird and abstract enough, people
will find all kinds of meaning in it! :)

Ah, yes. I though someone on Lugnet might pick up on that... Ideally, the
1980's segment would have been made with just 1980's bricks. Thing is, I
really don't have that many bricks, and the ones from my childhood are
thousands of miles away in my mother's basement... :( Probably molding away...
:( :( So I compromised and used more modern bricks. But, since the "Dawn of
Lego" segment was made with bricks that weren't around in the 1960's as well, I
didn't feel too bad. I was careful (I thought, correct me if I'm wrong) to use
age-appropriate bricks in the monolith base close-ups...
