The late 2000s was a strange time to be a fan of Megan Fox. She was a big name starring in several great films, but it was hard to enjoy her rise in fame because so many people were constantly strange to her. Take, for example, This interview Harry Smith conducted Fox for CBS in 2009. At the time, Fox promoted the "Transformers" directed by Michael Bay "Transformers: Revenge of Fallen", but Smith was constantly joking about how anyone as appealing as she could know nothing about cars or motorcycles in real life. It was one thing for Smoch to make this joke In a silly video, but it was another thing for a professional journalist to tell Fox's face in an interview with a limited time for real questions.

The result was an awkward interview where Fox did not look comfortable, leading to a joke that led to some "transformers" fans who discussed it in the years to come. "I'm in the film and read the script and watched the film and I still didn't know what was happening," she noted. "So I think if you haven't read the script, and you go and see it, and you understand it, you may be a genius. (...) This movie is for geniuses." Her answer was then interpreted by some people as her party at the "revenge of the fallen", which was not considered a cool thing to do on a stamping tour.

The moment is easy to forgive in the full context of the interview, however, because the question Smith asked is difficult to answer tactically. He said he couldn't follow the film and asked her, "Do you literally understand what every scene is or what does that mean?" In other words he Telling said "Revenge of the Fallen" is chaos (which is true) And asking her if he should have been one. Combine it with Smith's general condensation to Fox during the rest of the interview, and it is understandable that it will respond to the way she did.

The comment that prompted Smith's question was for Fox to talk about how she watched the "revenge of the fallen" in the front row of theater, an experience that gave gave a headache from overloading the stimulation. This is a reasonable complaint: there is a lot of what happens in every frame of that film that you can't blame anyone who feels exhausted after watching it. Even at the time of publication, /The movie "Revenge of the Falled" review It made it clear that it was just too much in the movie.

In Her video for 2017 "Why is it so difficult to remember what happened in" Transformers "? Ellis claims this is the result of Bay's intense style, which is trying to make every moment as epic as possible. Even the scenes that should be low -key, like two characters that have a conversation out, are often filmed with a spinning camera or some other glossy nonsense. Bay is simply incapable of facilitating him, making his films fun, but grueling if they continue too long. (That's why His blessed short documentary in 2025, "We're Strair", is such a breath of fresh air.)

The result is that the "revenge of the fallen" is a low-key one of the most densely packed films of all time and requires a surprising amount of concentration from his viewers. It shows you a lot with each frame and introduces a huge amount of signs to track them. Does this mean that the movie "Transformers" is to reinforce what is the "Finnegans Wake" by Jameses Oyojs? Probably not, but it means that it is time for some "transformers" fans to forgive Fox for that interview. You may not have to be a genius to track the plot of "revenge of the fallen", but your brain needs to be built differently from most to really enjoy the film.
