| Summary: |
This book engages the bigness of Michael Bay's works like Armageddon and the Transformers movies to explore essential questions of contemporary filmmaking and culture. He shows how Bay's films, knowingly or not, address profound issues about what it means to live in the late twentieth- and early twenty-first centuries. His work urges us to contemplate the future of moving images, of memory, matter, community, and experience, amid a time of rampant political populism and ever-accelerating technological change. |
