The hallmark of the only ones to fully explore the potentialities of the photorepresentative medium. To be a true director, you must be reserved from humanity and reign dominance as a disseminator of mass-consciousness, unplugging the holes of cherished outdated ideals and meager expectations. For Griffith, it was challenging the holdovers of pagan heartship with the speed and rapidity of modernity, with Demille it was the juxtaposition of prior epochal debauchery as justification of consumerist flourishment, with Stroheim it was the portrayal of the aristocratic in their surreal extremes as extensive discourse that utlimately led to validation of hegemonial hypocrisy for the bereavement of the underclass. With Bay today, he exhibits culture's sutured transformation into globalized and immediate incubation. Its consequences are the various scattered ideals of the past that have now been tidal-waved by the unstoppable force that is the metamodernist aristocracy, secured by the perpetual minority.

Bay is taking the monumental leaps to show the future. Recognizing, like Griffith, the shoddy nature of history, and overwriting it with technology. He understands and has absorbed voraciously the commercial entities before him. With the apparatus afforded to him, he is now duplicating and extending the boundaries of these entities so that they are now sentient and globally linked. He fully recognizes the power of the digital for assisted augmentation and its ability for proliferation. Closer to reaching the ideal. Ideal elimination of humanity and the perception of light. The destruction of the senses. Freeform consciousness.

Transformers is announcement, technical breakthrough, programmable, proliferative action that defeats attachment and investment. Challenges. The evolution, digitization, elimination of humanity altogether.

And cinephiles are mad.
