It has long been my opinion that Bollywood movies were all long winded, dance numbers. But my god, I stand corrected by what may be the best fight scene I have ever seen. I especially love the man's moustache and the sheer about of car windshields that were broken. It really was quite amazing.
And now on a different topic, the other week I went and saw Transformers 2. It was a movie quite unlike anything I have ever seen. It was poetic, poignantly beautiful at times yet heart breakingly realistic. Also Robots blew up.
But what really struck me about it, other than the solid two minutes of Megan Fox running in slow motion, was the attitude of The Transformers themselves. For a young Transformer, there really only were two options either to be an Autobot or a Deceptecon. This can put alot of pressure on a young robot, growing up is hard enough without having to choose sides in a war.
The problem also presented itself that The Deceptecons had no real motive, yes they wanted to blow up the sun, but that is a very illogical thing to do. It is my belief that The Deceptecons are just part of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If Optimus Prime and his friends sit around talking about how evil and dastardly The Deceptecons are, of course they are going to behave in a certain sun ending way.
If someone were to show Megatron a little love and compassion rather than always treating him with disgust, maybe he would reciprocate it and there wouldn't be a conflict in the first place. Megatron is just a victim of a society were he is seen as a villain based on the fact that he was born a Deceptecon.
This problem also exists for The Autobots. With their holier than thou attitude, no wonder the Deceptecons hate them. Where does Optimus Prime get off being so preachy? If you treat Megatron like a criminal he is bound to behave like a criminal.
I think that is all I have to say, and yeah sorry Declan I know I said I would do this in an essay format but you know...too lazy.
Oh and also here is an intensley depressing photo of Megan Fox, that I thought I would share;
chris the Deceptecons did have a motive, remember the scene with the transformer hatchings being all dead and sick, they needed the energy from the sun so they could breed new Deceptecons. what i dont get is are they machine or life?
ReplyDeletecause
they can die? but is that if you get stabbed in the head or something cause there were stab wounds going left right and center
if so id expect more stabbing robots.
ALSO there where too many robots who where just like ummm i transform into ...a bigger robot. It's called transformers not some gay robot vs robot WTF was megatron the bat mobile or something ahhhh...good movie though
