If size counts for anything, Michael Bay towers over his
contemporaries. His summer-defining event films involve
extraordinary production costs and churn enormous box office
returns. His ability to mastermind breathtaking spectacles of
action, mayhem, and special effects continually push the movie
industry as much as the medium of film toward new frontiers. Lutz
Koepnick engages the bigness of works like Armageddon and the
Transformers movies to explore essential questions of contemporary
filmmaking and culture. Combining close analysis and theoretical
reflection, Koepnick 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. According to
Koepnick's astute readings, no one eager to understand the state of
cinema today can ignore Bay's work. Bay's cinema of world-making
and transnational reach not only exemplifies interlocking processes
of cultural and economic globalization. It 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. An eye-opening look at one
of Hollywood's most polarizing directors, Michael Bay illuminates
what energizes the films of this cinematic and cultural force.
