In the climactic passage at the end, when the human savior runs without hesitation holding the magic cube, does it feel like deja vu? As long as you watched a game of American football or rugby, you will find that his posture holding the ball and running, the shape of his body over obstacles, the movement of passing the ball (handing the cubes on the top of the building to the plane), and so on. The final score (putting the cube into Megatron's body) is very similar to this exercise.
What can save mankind? The answer given by "Transformers" is: American football.
In fact, at the beginning of the film, it heralded a rugby-style ending: when the male protagonist Sam was driving a newly bought second-hand car on an outing, he met the former boyfriend of the female protagonist Mikaela, a domineering sportsman. Strong alumni, the two had a verbal battle. The general idea is that sports men attacked Sam's poor performance in the selection of American football and are sports idiots; while Sam attacked sports men who have bad brains because they are idiots because of sports. American football is the key word.
Therefore, what saves mankind is not the sport on the court, but the concept inherent in this sport.
The Decepticons came to the earth, and the first US military base to attack was in the desert. Soon after, through a small team of survivors, we discovered that this desert was not in the Midwest, but in the traditional American sphere of influence in the Middle East: Arabs in long robes, suspected mosque buildings on top of garlic, and handsome little boys. , All shows such a geographical concept. Moreover, the existence of the US military base also makes people feel suspicious. What is it, why, and what is it for? Then, the base was attacked, a mess was cleared, and the United States began to fight on behalf of mankind. Such a beginning is so similar to the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War! I am the world, and this is the values of American football.
Next, the battlefield moved to the United States, and the film was emboldened to make a joke about its own government: After the forced landing of Air Force One, the president first arrived in the safe zone, and some people threatened that it was American rules; in the seventh place, several ridiculous suits came out. The man, arrogant and domineering for a while, was finally taken off into super cute underwear. However, the joke is a joke. At the critical moment, the government has to rely on people of insight, the defense minister, the wise special forces, and even the squares are protected by the government built a dam. The United States is the world. No matter how ridiculous the US government is, it is ultimately the protector of this human being and this value. How can it concede a goal?
Many years ago, the United States promoted its power to the North Pole through the hero's explorer grandfather, and grandly moved back to Megatron and the cube that fell in the Arctic Circle. Then, he built a reservoir and dam to store him. When introducing him, the Secretary of Defense proudly said: "All modern technology originated from him. Integrated circuits, computers, artificial intelligence..." In other words, because the United States owns Given the origin of all this, all modern technologies originated in the United States, and it can even be said that modern society originated from the United States. Facing the invading high technology, the Americans marveled: No country can have such advanced technology. They are always saying: Impossible! Occasionally, they would make jokes about the Japanese: maybe the Japanese did it, so advanced! Therefore, the United States, and only the United States, can save and destroy the world!
Let's look at our American savior, an ordinary child, except for having a pair of glasses and an explorer grandpa, nothing else is special. Even this eye is actually of unknown origin. It is hard to imagine that a broken eye can be circulated in private channels for so long, and in the end, these glasses have proved to be of no use at all! What he has are just some American values, such as the desire hidden behind love, the spirit of adventure, a simple and straightforward sense of justice, and a value that always wants to impose on others. Using these, coupled with his American football sprint method, he saved the world. This cannot but be said to be a victory for the United States!
Optimus Prime kept saying: The destiny of mankind should be chosen by mankind. However, it is the United States who is making the choice on behalf of mankind. However, the United States cannot be the world, nor can it represent the entire human race. The confusion of values is reflected in the Autobots: when they first appeared on the scene, they carefully maintained their own values: they cannot harm humans; but once they go to war with evil forces (Decepticons, or the axis of evil, or imagined Terrorists), human life is ignored, how many people should be killed in such a war in the downtown area.
I don't know much about film or computer technology, but it must be very advanced in a country where "all science and technology originated", and the audiovisual shock is strong enough, but these cannot conceal or weaken the artistic weakness of a consumer product. When the protagonist and heroine who were blown up were seen lying on the ground, the slow motion showed that they were holding hands slowly and almost lost their voice. For another example, the glasses that didn't play a role, those good robots with unknown personality, bad robots...
