Abstract
Michael Bay's transformers is a genre pastiche, combining elements of action films, science fiction, high school dramas, general comedy and even moments of direct satire. Most interesting, though, are the ways in which Bay's film ties into the genre of war cinema and the modes and conventions it borrows particularly from such films as Lewis Seiler's Guadalcanal Diary, George P. Cosmatos' Rambo: First Blood Part II, Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket and David O. Russell's Three Kings to create a surprisingly multi-layered depiction of the wartime Other. The Other of transformers a race of giant robots is both alien and familiar, both overtly evil and uncompromisingly noble, and most importantly, it provides an allegorical mirror for american society that allows the film to promote its own consumerist ideology.
