Dangdangdang, it's Teacher Wu's holiday viewing topic again. I haven't been in the theater for more than a month, and the movies from Shuangdan will make up for it! The first is [Bumblebee].
[Change 1]~[Change 5] directed by Michael Bay, the score curve I gave is V-shaped. From the resentment of the two factions to the complex relationship between man and machine, and finally the Knights of the Round Table, the bombardment can be regarded as setting up a new world view. But the shelf is too big, and while giving enough visual effects, it is also difficult to guarantee the story of the characters of Chu Duo. Like the Marvel Universe, it's a smart move to have independent films outside of the mainline. Transformers' first independent film gave the closest human "Bumblebee", and it laid the foundation for a successful commercial film.

This work is not only a lurking history of Bumblebee (F217) on the earth, but also about the process from the fall of Cybertron to the arrival of the Autobots on the earth. The whole film is mainly divided into three sections. The first section (0~30min) tells the origin of the story of the Autobots and Decepticons coming to Earth, as well as the lonely and difficult growth background of the heroine Charlie.
The second paragraph (30~60min) tells about the misunderstanding between Bumblebee and Zhao Xina, the representative of the US military, after losing his voice and memory first. Transforming into an old Beetle, making contact with Charlie of the third kind, and eventually becoming Charlie's pet and friend, the thrilling adventures that happened while they lived together.
The final climax consisted of two major battles. After being discovered by the Decepticon lightning and reflex bullets, Charlie and her mushroom head boyfriend went to the US military base with a stun gun to rescue the lost Bumblebee (Autobot version of electric shock) and recovered. Bumblebee's fighting power and memory (here tribute to ET). In the final battle with the shipyard, in the same way as Johnson in [Sky Rescue], Charlie and Bumblebee terminated the transmission of the Decepticon signal, Bumblebee rescued Zhao Xina, and the two warriors cherished each other. Charlie also reunites with her family.

The plot of the film is very classic. The protagonists, one male and one female, one big and one small, one person and one machine, complete the growth process of self-knowledge and reconciliation with the world together in the same narrative space. Bumblebee was originally a pioneer waiting for the arrival of the Autobots, lurking cautiously and lonely on Earth. As a covert agent, nature is wary and inaccessible. But the amnesia caused by a battle gave him the opportunity to make deep contact with humans. This is not only the ice-breaking journey of Autobots and humans, but also the basis for Autobot's future union with humans.
As for the other heroine, Charlie's family situation is very similar to that of Li Wan in [Dog Thirteen]. Although the United States does not have the idea of "prioritizing sons and daughters", they are also neglected and difficult to communicate with their families. in the situation. But unlike [Dog 13], the Bumblebee incident gave Charlie a chance to break the ice, and Einstein's back and forth made Li Wan "sensible".
For teenagers growing up, the collision of new ideas and the values of the inherent world is a universal problem. There are also very few works on the theme of growing family conflict in American youth films. Because American society advocates the spirit of independence and freedom, adults are mostly placed on the side of criticism, and more emphasis is placed on the breakthrough and victory of young people. For example, [Winter's Bone], [Wind and Rain Harvard Road], etc. However, adolescence, as a period of contradiction and change in life, is just suitable for laying out the changing trajectory of the characters, taking the mental journey of teenagers and girls as an auxiliary story line and emotional line in the development of the main plot.
In view of Bumblebee's companionship, in order to transform into a cute pet, the Bumblebee in this work is not only transformed into a round and friendly Volkswagen Beetle, but even the head under the human shape is designed as a baby face. The second character of the Autobots (Mutian Shi is absent in the movie) doesn't need any shame at all? But this move has indeed greatly expanded the audience of Transformers, especially its appeal to female audiences.
The script that makes no mistakes + big IP guarantees the success of the film, but it is not excellent. There are still plenty of flaws in the film.
First of all, two common problems of the Transformers series still exist: 1) The lack of a combat power setting system and the serious halo of the protagonist; 2) In the battle of Transformers, the invincibility of human beings.
In addition, the defense of the US military base that cooperates with aliens is basically zero? When the U.S. military encountered Transformers several times, the weapons were not strengthened. In the end, the stun gun was the best one? Wait, it's too dramatic.
However, the appearance of King Kong, which is similar to G1, such as the simplified Optimus Prime, comes with a memory killing effect. It is really exciting to see the robot dog in front of Sonic's chest jumping out.
I took a look around on Taobao and found that Hasbro's peripheral products are not designed with care, they are not as fun as knockoffs.
