seen "Transformers" (Transformers)? No, then go see it quickly and don't miss it. It's not advertising here, but it's really good-looking.

After watching it, my feeling is to go to all the fucking literary movies. Transformers made me realize that a film of more than 10 years can only be seen now: movies can never be separated from special effects. Movies are born from special effects and die from the so-called artistic sorrow. I'm talking about a movie watched in a movie theater. For it, special effects go hand in hand. Since the Lumiere brothers' "Train Into the Station", movies have been inseparable from special effects. Don’t you think that putting a train into the station on the screen at the time, letting the audience watch the huge locomotive roaring in front of you, isn’t it a special effect? That's the special effect, that's the most awesome special effect of that era.

Don't tell me that the plot of Transformers is too weak. King Kong fans have spent so much money, what are they doing sitting in front of the big screen obediently? Multi-line plot? Deep characterization? Complex human nature? Touching love and affection? Oh, go to hell. We are here to watch the transformation of the King Kong, which is to listen to the sweet mechanical sound effects created by the transformation of the King Kong. If you want to see the touching affection, please go to see I Am Sam, if you want to see romance, please watch "My Savage Girlfriend", if you want to see inspirational, then take "Rain Man". Since we walked into the movie theater, isn't it just to let ourselves be psychedelic in a fast lens with dazzling and even shaking? Isn't it just to immerse yourself in the stunning wide-angle lens? Isn't it just to watch the bloody fights? Isn't it just to enjoy the deafening nn special effects sound field (whether it is Dolby or THX)?

Don't tell me that watching "Spider-Man" is to reminisce about the love of the heroes and heroines; don't tell me, so much support for "Lord of the Rings" is to cultivate their team spirit; don't tell me that star fans have been waiting for decades. The Ministry of Star Wars was born to explore how human nature turned from simplicity to darkness. Yes, movie stories are very important, but for these big productions, stories and scripts are just decorations for special effects. So, don’t lie to yourself. In my opinion, the dialogue baggage in Transformers is the best decoration. It is more enjoyable than all the so-called profound scripts and can better embellish this. The dazzling special effects in this film. So, what should be harsh on it? Oh, too many ads for products? Then I am willing to spend 50 yuan, or even 100 yuan, to watch this two-hour advertisement.

In Transformers, special effects are already the most artistic art. Here, any long shots, empty shots, montages, Tarkovsky, Ozu Yasujiro can be completely hell. Of course, if you still insist on holding on to these terms, then I can only suggest that you go to a small store and buy a 10 yuan CC version of a pirated disc, go home and hold your DVD player, and be alone. Yes, that is intuitive and simple, but you must know that intuitive and simple are the most moving and beautiful here. Just like on the night of 7.10, at the Kuala Lumpur National Stadium, the Chinese football team solved the Malaysian game. There is no so-called double midfielder, no so-called ball control, and no so-called Christmas tree formation. The simplest way is to play. In the bottom pass, it was the smoothest match since the start of the Asian Cup. Indeed, simplicity is the most beautiful, and intuitive is the most artistic. Transformers is here to interpret this truth beyond words, and it slaps those boring pure art schools with a resounding slap.

From the initial ET, to Aliens, to Jurassic Park, to Star Wars, and to today's live-action Transformers, filmmakers' techniques for using special effects in movies have become proficient. Along the way, there have been so many ugly criticisms and too many setbacks (such as Fantastic Four, Final Fantasy, etc.), but it has gradually matured and gradually formed a self-contained movie genre. At a time when traditional movies are gradually fading from the screen, the development and maturity of the use of special effects have saved the fate of movies that are about to be abandoned by technological updates and the advancement of the times. In this way, the cinema gradually fades out of people’s lives in the Taiwanese movie "Persistence" The scene will never come, the cinema can be said to be reborn because of special effects.

Yes, the emergence of Transformers has made me more and more looking forward to what miracles the special effects filmmakers will bring to us in the future. I think this question will be answered in a short time. In Transformers 2, Macbeth will bring us the answer.
