If we divide it according to whether there is a storyline or not, the "Transformers" series can be called an action A film. The power of this kind of film is that it can create miracles without relying on the story. On the one hand, it uses a shocking sensory power. Conquer your physical body, on the other hand, it allows you to reach a cascading climax through a multi-stimulation method. Of course, the A film itself has a bottleneck that is difficult to get rid of, that is, it is easy to make the audience feel bored and bored. If you wait for two and a half hours before the screen without interruption, a certain degree of fatigue will become a necessity.
This strange phenomenon does not only exist in the pale images of our fifth-generation director XX, but has already expanded to the global scope. Hollywood’s top-selling masters are not latecomers, but are precisely the forerunners of this genre. Just as we are already familiar with their sequels, the production of Hollywood action A movies is quietly increasing day by day, and completely Occupy the already withered cinema market. This situation has given us the most powerless sense of loss, especially when the film has shifted from a creative mode to a production mode, which can only be regarded as the sadness of the film industry.
So Michael Bay is not a savior, but just a doll man who has lost himself. Even if he holds a 700 million box office transcript in his hand, he talks in the spotlight, and he has no scruples about shutting up film critics as opposed to The author's Mr. Albert still put out the cruel words "pots and pans are better than you". The game between "market" and "image" is the words behind these two masters on Maimang, and the outcome of the battle must be the failure of the media and the repeated victory of the film. If we were to be "Transformers" is a break-through journey, then what "Transformers 2" needs is no longer freshness, but should be more proficient techniques and more intense depth stimulation.
The more troublesome thing is that it is difficult for Michael Bay to find a new technique to improve the action of A movie, so he can only choose to increase its intensity. This means that more actors are used, larger genitals are selected, and the frequency of sex scenes is increased. In the movie, there are more robots, bigger villains, more intensive shooting effects, and physical tremors. The mechanical carnival, the crazy sexual desire turned into a blasting beauty. The Rubik’s Cube fragments, the most important props to pull the story, are actually another form of hormones, which can directly act on metal bodies and turn them into crazy mechanical creatures, so the behavior around chasing fragments becomes the “desire drive” of the film. The core principle of
In "Transformers 2", the director has basically given up on the content of the film and shifted the topic to the complex relationship between "violence" and "desire." Delusional projection. "Transformers" is exactly the same as previous sci-fi movies. It not only assumed the obligation to rob international funds, but also demonstrated the powerful military power of the Americans. Based on the coveting of the United States in the Middle East, the film’s location was directly placed in Qatar and The desert area of Egypt. Behind the infinite praise of the US military to Michael Bay, it is not difficult to find that their desire to rule the world, and even the effect of earning world worship and deterrence, is much more cost-effective than simply stealing money.
So when the old Americans have no excuses for frequent wars, Hollywood movies incidentally extend the important task of propagating national power. As a representative of a "strong man's philosophy", they have already exerted their due effect on a global scale. For the same reason, the presentation of technology and power became the foundation of the film’s intentions. Just as a male star wanted to promote his strength and bravery, "Transformers 2" completed his show with a purpose of showing off. This is of course No need for acting support, just relying on your body can win the admiration of the audience, and then watch the coins thrown into the tin box under your feet and become food for the next repeat performance.
One thing to note is that after the topic of "repetition" is involved, many works have almost completely taken off the aura of the past. Not all sequels can become masterpieces like "Batman 6", and the overwhelming ones are still those. The dog's tail continues the failure of the mink. So when a movie is tapping its own resources, the belt around the waist has become tighter and tighter. "Transformers 2" can continue to use the first gimmick element, but it is actually unable to improve that weak movie. The text, when it disappears to a dispensable state, the movie has degenerated into an out-of-the-box action A film, thus losing the possibility of deep stimulation to the audience. Just deforming for deformation, blasting for blasting, destroying for destruction, and salvation for salvation, such stimuli can only exist on the senses and on the surface.
The change from "Transformers 1" to "Transformers 2" is like a fledgling young prostitute who has grown into a coquettish slut. The innocence that can be perceived from the beginning is completely replaced by bloody lines. Maybe Michael Bay’s 200 million dollars was spent on the blade, but the action movies he created were definitely not what we wanted. In this popcorn era of rapid consumption, all words such as compact plots and no cold spots have become a cover and cover up the substantial problems of film creation itself. If this problem does not exist, the constellation treasure hunt and the reproduction of the female terminator passages do not need to appear. In other words, you can increase the intensity of the movie, but it is difficult to expand its breadth.
At the end of the film is Optimus Prime’s signature blank space, which is not only a self-promotional metaphor, but also a hint for the next sequel. After all, Hollywood's production method of grabbing profits to the grave is undoubtedly annoying. The "Transformers" series that only left mechanical carnivals cannot continue to be popular. Considering the various problems currently reflected, waiting for the "Transformers 3" The ending is likely to be as painful as "Terminator 3". Text/grey wolf
