Transformers and America

After watching Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I realized that Michael Bay made a big emphasis on human rights and enslavement. Also, the plot clearly reflects the American revolution. First of all, like Alan has mentioned, Optimus and Sentinel Prime speak a lot over freedom of the humans from Megatron's grasp. Also, the entire plot of the movie, in my opinion, reflects the American revolution in the 1770's. For example, Megatron resembles King George as the ruler of America, or, in the movie, the ruler of planet Earth. Then, Megatron brings his entire fleet, even his planet to Earth to enforce the humans. I also noticed that the Autobots were named "rebels" when Sentinel Prime gave his speech to the leaders of Earth. Then, once again, the autobots claim that they fight for freedomof the humans.

Overall, transformers was a great movie, but the excess amount of action, explosions, and fighting was a little unecessary.
