Few directors are deprived of subtlety like Michael Bay. He is a director who can turn any kind of scene into an action scene and often movies quieter moments such as filming the film. But while Bay has made many spectacular scenes with action In the past, his latest film can be his most sensitive and impressive work to date. It was also extremely dangerous to shoot, so much that Bay was not legally able to be anywhere near the set while the cameras were rolling.

When you hear the words "Michael Bay's Documentary", many thoughts come to mind. Anyway, when we watched "We're Strair", you'll figure it out, Of courseParkour with death death, performing miraculous stunts on the regular, will be the theme that attracted Bay's attention.

There was only one small problem. As a member of the Guild of Directors of America, Bay was legally obliged to provide a set of work without risk and as safe as possible. Of course, a movie about people jumping across the roofs Hundreds of meters above the ground is nothing but risk.

"I said:" I don't care to know anything you do. I don't approve that. What you do is illegal. This is quite wrong, "Bay explained during Q&A after the premiere of" We Are a Strorr in SXSW ". "I don't do anything on this. I'm not a producer. I'm not a director, so forget my name, call me later and I'll look at the footage and see if I licensed it."

Bay and his legal team have spent real years realizing how to make "we are stroll" in a way that will not place the director in legal danger if something goes wrong (and many do). The key was that he would not be allowed or included in the recording. "I couldn't be involved in any way, form or form," Bay said on Q&A. He couldn't even know about the footage until he was filmed and everyone was alive and well - to the extent that the great accident that happened early during the filming was full news to advocate when she found out about it much, much later.

"We're a Storor" tells the story of the Storor, a team of Parkour on YouTube, made up of a group of artists from Parkour from London (two sets of brothers and three companions). The team had previously worked with Bay on the scenes in Parkour in "6 underground", a movie that has one of the worst posters of all time.

As you would expect on the basis of the concept, Bay's involvement and Storor's history for incredible and wild stunts, "We are Stror" have some of the most intense and stunning stock stunts, placed on the screen in 2025. Those in the thriller of Bay Ambulance. Meanwhile, the acrobatics are just as visceral as the climate climbing from "free solo", only they take every 10 minutes instead of simply in the end. If you are suffering from dizziness, you will have a bad time with this movie ... and even if you do not do so, you may still leave the theater with sweaty palms and a new thank you for never having to perform any of these dangerous stunts in your life.

Indeed, even without explosions or shootings, "We are Stror" feels like Michael Bay's project thanks to the pure spectacle of viewing these British people defy the gravity of the roofs in Malta or to run with monkeys on Indian roofs. Whether you are already a fan of the group or this is the first time you hear about them, their Globe -dealing adventure is inspiring.

In addition to Parkour's intense scenes, something that makes "we are stroll" a good documentary is his shocking male tying research. Although Bay was not included in the real shooting, he had a big note for the members of the Storor: "Shoot everything". It included a process of preparation for every trick, precise choreography planning, dust on the site to avoid surprises, chaos and their doubts. These are things that the group always leaves out of their videos on YouTube, so we turn them out here, made the whole difference.

You see, the film begins with the eponymous group practicing its latest trick of Portuguese dam before a friend of theirs suffered a frightening accident. This event casts a shadow on the rest of the film, as the different members of the Storor respond differently to this experience near death. After all, they are no longer teenagers, but men in their 30s, whose bodies do not respond in the same way to all wear and tear. We find out the victims they have made for the group, leaving behind studies and other career paths and seeing the beginnings of their doubts and regret because they realize that they may not have to risk their lives on YouTube video.

Similar to "Jackecas forever", it has a melancholic vibration of "We are a Chair". The film may be a celebration of their journey so far, but it is also a little bit of a coda until at least one era of their career. There is little aspect of Peter Pan's syndrome of the documentary and how these guys basically reached their dream too early. Now, they need to be considered the vulnerability of adulthood, the naivety of youth, the cost of turning your hobby into work, and also for the stupidity of dangerous stunts, all for the shocking topics that the documentary explores with care and empathy.

Acts will continue to make videos (they filmed several at the time after this film was edited) and Michael Bay will continue to make big, funny movies. However, "We are a Stror" reveals a different side of the two creatives that I wish to see more in the future.
