Ingratitude, advertising and nonsense

The film begins with the ingratitude of man. During the Chicago War, humans and Autobots formed an alliance; after the victory, humans began to form so-called "Tomb Wind" troops to hunt down Transformers - whether Autobots or Decepticons. The Autobots who made great contributions to the earth were killed one by one by humans, then dismembered, and then carried out so-called research, which was ultimately for economic benefits. There is an old saying in China: when the birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the cunning rabbits die, the lackeys cook. Not just China, but all human beings. However, there are exceptions. It seems that the more wealthy and powerful people are, the more ungrateful they are; while the relatively weak ordinary people are more aware of their gratitude and repayment; and then there are car robots that are not human, repaying their grievances with virtue and saving mankind once again.
Talking about advertising. Now it's almost a "practice" to place advertisements. It is understandable that if investors want to get their investment back, the fastest way is to place advertisements; There should be advertisements, but this is wrong, and no advertisements are seriously out of touch with reality. Look around us, there are almost ubiquitous advertisements. If there are no advertisements in the movie, then the content of the movie is not the era we live in. We are living in the era of marketing. The most unbearable thing is the bluntness and incompatibility of advertisement placement
. The American used the China Construction Bank card, and the can of Red Bull and the Red Bull Racing, a little too hard.
It's better to talk about nonsense. The most nonsensical thing in the whole film is the autobot's big fight in Hong Kong. The scene is so grand, and the fight has been going on for so long. Where are the Flying Tigers? Where is the garrison? Where are the other Chinese troops? This film is shot in this way not so much to fight for the mainland market, but to disgust China. Even if there is a camera on the periphery to help, maintain order, rescue the wounded, at least there is a figure, so do something!
The role of Fan Bingbing can be completely absent, and there is almost no meaning for the plot.
