#10 Michael Romett - Transformers

The series that we have seen over the past few years dealing with robots have been the two films called Transformers. Much like our relation to Blade Runner when technology seemed to be catching up to the human race and possibly surpassing it. In Blade Runner, the idea that androids can serve as human workers quickly backfired when some of them found out that they had a specific lifespan and were going to be terminated after that time period was over. Relating this is a little bit of a different way to the Transformers, we see that cars and trucks transform into these beings that have humanistic qualities that are helping save the world. The way that technology has evolved over the years is amazing when we look at the progress that we has 50 years ago compared to the progress that we have made today. These films show that not only the way evolution with technology has changed but also the evolution with the way our society is today. I believe that it is not unrealistic to think that one day we might be able to control the mind and send it to different places, much like the relation to The Jacket and the fantasy behind that movie. This gets me to my next point, fantasy was a theme that we looked at most recently in the past few movies that we saw, K- Pax and The jacket, were both examples that use different kind of fantasy to get their point across. I think that even in the film, Big Fish, the fantasy behind the stories that are being told are what make the movie worth watching. Much like the Transformers, taking fantasy to a different level is what gets most of us to watch movies like this.
