Look, I know exactly what you're thinking after reading this videos title, but yes
Transformers well the first one at least works
And there is a very specific reason as to why that is Michael bay's transformers franchise is one of the most insane and unpredictable
franchises around
Honestly who would have thought a movie based on toys from the 1980s would have grossed 700 million worldwide
What bay has done with this franchise is genuinely astonishing and in my eyes admire to say the least?
Now I have a bit of a hot take for you. I think the first transformers is my generation strata clark now
I'm not just saying that off the top of my head
I have genuine memories as to why I think that is I
Saw this film when I was 8 so watching this whole thing unfold for the first time was
remarkable to say the least
I recently saw the fifth film in the franchise the last night a few weeks ago, and I left the theater absolutely
broken
like
Holy shit. This was a bad movie as I was watching it
I could not believe how far we have come from the simple and effective story of a boy and his car
And that was only ten years ago it got me thinking why after ten years?
Four sequels billions of dollars and a ridiculous amount of product placement
Why do we still have such fond memories of Bay's original Transformers?
Why after all this time is it the first film that works?
I
Think the answer is a lot simpler than you think the first film was about a very relatable and human story a boy and his
Car sure there are government officials hackers and soldiers involved as well, but the film's heart lies in Sam
Witwicky
and Bumblebee. Bay, or the film's writers, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman
Provide the audience with plenty of scenes between the two in order for us to... you know care
I think the scene in which Sam meets Bumblebee is a really beautiful moment.
No
No, no, no no, Dad!
Think that's funny? Yeah, I think it's funny. What do you think I really gave you a Porsche?
For your first car? I don't want to talk to you for the rest of
The trip.
He's a loser. He doesn't have many friends. But, he wants this car.
I'm gonna buy you a car, but I want you to bring the two thousand dollars and three a's okay?
I got the two thousand and I got two a's okay. Here's the dream your b-
I'm gonna buy you a car, but I want you to bring the two thousand dollars and three a's okay?
Sir, ask yourself... What would Jesus do?
This yellow Camaro with quote unquote "black racing stripes."
Bobby Bolivia, like the country, states "Drivers don't pick the cars...
Cars pick the drivers...
It's mystical bond between man and machine."
Cars pick the drivers...
"It feels good..." Bay slows the moment down as
Sam touches the Emblem in the center of the steering room revealing the iconic Autobot logo.
He remarks
Another major Bay moment in the film comes with Megan Fox's Mikaela.
Sam touches the Emblem in the center of the steering room revealing the iconic Autobot logo.
And she is in every sense of the word out of Sam's League however now that Sam has Bumblebee
What could possibly go wrong?
The character and all his awkward Glory remarks: "So listen. I was wondering if I can ride you home...
I mean, I give you a ride home!"
I can't believe it in here right now... Sam responds
"You can duck down if you want, it won't hurt my feelings."
But the conversation continues when Michaela asks, "are you new to school this year? Is it your first year?"
Sam, once more in his awkward Glory response, "We've been in the same school since first grade."
And she is in every sense of the word out of Sam's League however now that Sam has Bumblebee
What could possibly go wrong?
After a party by the Lake, Sam spots Michaela walking home by herself.
The character and all his awkward Glory remarks: "So listen. I was wondering if I can ride you home...
I mean, I give you a ride home!"
After initially ignoring him Michaela hops into the passenger seat
But you have a nice and quippy conversation that shows how down-to-earth Michaela really is Michaela puts on a facade
There's you know more than meets the eye with her
Get it
It's a great little moment that gives the audience and insight into the chemistry the two characters have Michaela one plate remarks
I can't believe it in here right now... Sam responds
"You can duck down if you want, it won't hurt my feelings."
I know I became a loss and shrunk of the whole thing off
But the conversation continues when Michaela asks, "are you new to school this year? Is it your first year?"
Sam, once more in his awkward Glory response, "We've been in the same school since first grade."
Sure logged on the character then proceeds to list all the classes they have together before much other attempts to pronounce Sanders last name
Yeah, sam. Yeah, and wilkie
With Ricky. I'm sorry I did not
Recognize you know well. I mean that's understand all of this is happening the audience almost forgets
But we are in a transformers move bumblebee being the lovable character
He is attempts to get Sam and Mikayla together as he purposely breaks down begins playing sexual healing application of this go
After this Mikayla storms off Sam in a fit of panic pleads with his car to work
And it does no no no no no no come on please over here
In a very personal moments and drives became a home and once there she asked you anything
I'm shallow Sam of course remarks the most absurd compliment in cinematic history. There's a lot more than meets the eye
with you
Okay, once they Kayla leaves Sam celebrates with bumblebees saying that he loves this car
It's a really beautiful scene that shows the connection between Sam a bumblebee
But also gives us a really nice back story
Into Mikaela later in the film the Autobots are attacked by sector seven led by agent Simmons the heroes refuses to harm the humans despite
the abuse humans throughout them probably the best moment of the film
Bumblebee is captured Sam and Michaela is struggling to save their loyal friend who is trying his absolute hardest to break free
but remain peaceful. The character's whines and moans are
Astonishingly human the pain he feels is immense and real Sam's reaction to this is all the more crushing the character States
"Look... He's not fighting back!"
The film's composer, the incredibly under appreciated Steve Jablonsky
crafts a melody that sends chills down the audience's spine. Sam breaks away from the guards and
rushes over to his guardian.
It is a moment that shows the sheer humanity of the transformers franchise
in this brief little scene you learn so much about Sam and Bumblebee. We learn that despite all the might and power of being a
Transformer, Bee is powerless all thanks to his bravery and heroism.
Now, here's where we sort of forget all of the personal stuff because this film's final battle is
Bonkers it brings together every character
We have met the Soldiers Hackers teenagers
And of course the titular transformers. it is a battle of good versus evil all aboard first Decepticon and it is
glorious
The final battle here clocks in at about 25 minutes. While some filmmakers would be terrified that'll sequence but it at Long Bay
Embraces in all his macho Glory they never forget Sam the Bumblebee they are, despite the huge battle going on, the focus point.
Bay cuts back to these characters on many occasions
And it helps keep the battle down to Earth and real. without the continuous cut to Sam and Bee
We sort of lose focus on this film. We don't care because it's all just CGI monsters hitting each other
Yes, Bumblebee is technically a cGI monster here
But Sam, and their relationship, isn't. Their relationship
Couldn't be designed in a computer. In the dying moments of the battle Optimus Prime tell Sam to place the Allspark in his chest
Destroying himself and the cube. To the audience's surprise, Sam places the cube in Megatron's chest
Destroying the Decepticon foe and the cube.
It is a moment that leaves the audience thrilled. Our main character has come an extremely long way.
Sam's character has evolved in such a progressive and natural way especially
Considering the sheer unnaturalness of this film. When the film ends, Bumblebee finally speaks he remarks:
"Permission to speak, sir? Permission granted old friend..."
"I wish to stay with the boy." It is a moment, and line, that comes with the utmost sincerity
We've spent the last few hours of Sam and his car and now they have saved humanity.
I Don't want you guys to think I'm calling Transformers a masterpiece because it
Isn't it has flaws, of course, as any blockbuster, but this film changed the game.
It showed the potential of CGI in ways that people had never seen before. So going back to the topic at hand
Why does Transformers work?
Well, It is because of the emotional connection the audience has with Sam and Bumblebee.
Without that, we wouldn't care about anything.
The fifth film has no heart.
Sure, it has human characters, but they are lifeless and dull.
This film's relationship was relatable, despite the fact that you've never had a Transformer.
The past few films have really missed this human connection.
Despite the billions of dollars in revenue, the first film is still the most well received of the lot.
I think the Transformers franchise is desperate for another simple story of a person and their car.
