Transformers 2: But we still have to see Transformers

Erling 2021-10-18 09:29:22

When watching Transformers 1, I saw meteorites falling from the sky, and Brother Optimus Prime stood up from the fire, tears in my eyes; while watching Transformers 2, I lost three meteorites, and I had no reaction at all. Obviously this is a process of diminishing marginal utility, but I still want to see Transformers. Regarding Transformers 1, Jiangnan’s film review is the best written, "So we are going to see Transformers." By the time of 2, there were already many reasons not to watch - however, it still had to be watched.

So this is the paradox. There is a very interesting gossip about Transformers. It is said that the actual box office of Transformers in China is 80 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 560 million yuan. The box office announced by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is 270 million yuan, slightly less than "Titanic", about 2007. At that time, some people were not ready to face a single film with a box office of more than 500 million. However, this number is possible. There are many people who have seen it twice or three times. It is also very simple to explain this phenomenon. The emotional structure of the post-70s and post-80s-for example, "The Calabash Brothers" can sell more than 10 million at the box office. The power of consumption brought about by nostalgia should never be underestimated. So once the dreams and grievances of my youth become "real" on the screen, it is no longer important to pay and how much to pay. So the so-called "post-80s come on stage with consumption", this is one of the examples.

The purpose of pulling these eggs is to show that no matter how bad the Transformers 2 is, we still have to watch it. This has nothing to do with the film itself-oh, distinguishing "movie" and "movie" will reveal the beauty in between. Both Transformers and Transformers 2’s plot is in vain and can’t stand scrutiny at all. However, the scrutinizers are basically neurotic. Does this kind of film still have to talk about plot logic? For example, why did classmate Sam not sit in the bumblebee and walk instead of running with his feet? I just thought about it for a while and laughed. So when watching this movie, the audience’s IQ will decrease collectively—then go down. It’s normal to forget the front after watching it. What the fuck he’s talking about, as long as "Can fight" is fine, even "love" is not important anymore.

So when I walked out of the cinema and was blown by the night breeze, I still calmed down. I couldn't help laughing when I saw a truck passing by, which showed that the effect of the film was still achieved. So when I enter the nonsense time, there will be some very nonsense, so you should be mentally prepared for the judges.

1. The only dew-point lens in the film-Hercules's egg, OMG, is really amazing. Just two hammers. This brings dissatisfaction with the image design of Transformers. In Transformers 1, Michael Bay was criticized because the big men had too few roles. In Change 2, the big men did have a lot of roles, but the problem was that they were blurry. For example, Hercules was a little excited when I first saw it, and turned into a dog in a blink of an eye, I rely on, how handsome Hercules in TF animation back then, this is intolerable. The Decepticons that fell in Change 2 basically don't know who they are. Where is the Sonic classmate that we have been complaining about for a long time? It seems to be the one listening to the satellite in the sky. My dear, how did Sonic grow like that? On the Autobot side, how touching was Tianhuo back then. This time he was photographed as a weird old man with a long beard, OMG, his eyes did not turn blue because of this. It is really sad. Also, where is the foretelling of the steel lock? To put it simply, this time, there are more animalistic things in the modeling design. The Fallen King Kong and the six masters of the year are designed in accordance with the image of the primitive Africans-this is also one of the thundering points. Well, animals are animals. The animators have worked hard. This time there are so many martial arts movies with the same lens scheduling method. Fortunately, compared to 2007, the computer hardware has improved not a little bit.
The conclusion is that animation is a time-saving and labor-saving thing. When it is made into a movie, first, the big men are not beautiful anymore.

2. From the perspective of modeling, Transformers still belongs to the intersection of science fiction and disaster films in the series of science fiction films. At least I saw Independence Day, Die Hard, Pearl Harbor and World War. There is no point in opening a film list on this issue. As far as science fiction is concerned, a very interesting fact is that the inner part is still Asimov’s three laws of robots. Blue-eyed Autobots are kind (also a rhetoric of personal pedagogy), even though they are "Alien". They still abide by the three laws of robots, so the evil side obviously doesn't abide by them. If you take these three laws one step further, you can probably overthrow Western science and technology civilization. This is interesting. It is interesting to see what part of human beings will be judged as "Alien" (Of course, the word is more accurately said to be "human "And the difference between "non-human"). In addition, Tianhuo said in the history of revolutionaries, the narcissism of Western scientific and technological civilization is unreservedly revealed. So this becomes a subconscious question, interesting.

3. It seems that Chinese audiences generally do not mention all the texts about Transformers, including TF cartoons and Transformers movies, but they are just toy advertisements. Therefore, the logical confusion during this period can be forgiven. The forced placement of Nokia and eBay ads in Transformers 1 can also be forgiven, as can the theater ads 17 minutes before the show. As for this 149-minute Transformers 2, it’s only a new commercial. In addition to cars and motorcycles (can your mom’s garage look more like commercials), it’s also an advertisement for American military forces. Transformers are here. The film has become weaker, so weak that Megatron can be beaten by tanks on all fours, so weak that an invincible existence like Hercules can be crushed by a "rail gun". The United States is very strong. We already know that, please don’t Come out again to advertise. I decided not to eat KFC this year because I saw the previous patch advertisement. That advertisement was too thunderous. However, do you believe in US military advertisements? I think it must fight against the subconscious mind. As for the so-called "global picture" and "third world picture", the clichés in between are really needless to say, all the things you can count on Michael Bay are explosions, explosions and explosions-he said so himself.

4. Finally, let's talk about classmate Sam. It’s very interesting that compared to Transformers 1, this movie emphasizes Sam’s family so much that Sam’s parents will be taken hostage (this is also one of the absurdities of the plot), if I say something This is whether the turn of cultural conservatism after the financial crisis is too fussy. However, the blonde beauty is still femme fatale, and the brunette girl still performs the indiscriminate "immortal love over death". This is the most conservative and indiscriminate rhetoric in Hollywood, and it is probably also an example of the so-called conservative turn. If you analyze and review the plot full of flaws, you will find that this is a story about repaying favor and redemption. Well, maybe I am not talking nonsense. Sam’s growth is the same as in Transformers 1, but he has taken responsibility. , And the small variation in this episode is his motivation. No need to talk about the daydreams of "ordinary people" and "heroes", just recall the article written in Jiangnan, about all people have imagined that a group of big men just hide in your yard. . Approximately all people have imagined fighting with Transformers to defend the earth-although it is nonsense, but YY is always going to be YY.

So the conclusion is that although this is a bad movie with no logic, although I have forgotten the front after watching it, although most of the big men in it cannot be identified, although it is completely different from the TF in our memory, we still have to To see, it is a very difficult thing to be logically self-consistent in humans. It seems that Transformers will finally be out of 3. Sam's high school episode, college episode, and about the third episode. He finally became a dead office worker, just like you and me born in the 70s and 80s. By then about We still have to see. So suddenly there is a concept called "coupling". As for what is coupled, this is not something to be said here. I just want to say that when there is a wonderful resonance between the eyes and the memory, the meaning is about that we cannot predict. Just like the SARFT can’t understand the US$80 million box office, maybe Transformers 2 can’t reach that high box office (it doesn’t seem like the situation in Japan and South Korea, people seem to like to watch movies more after the economic crisis), but there are many in between. Things, including the most difficult feelings to describe, are probably beyond our own comprehension. Anyway, nonsense is nonsense, saliva is saliva, Transformers 2 at midnight is still overcrowded. It's not happiness or satisfaction, it's just excitement.
