Transformers

I simply loved the first one. It was not Optimus Prime who impressed me, it was not the superb situational comedy and it was not Megan Fox. Or maybe she was. But mainly it was the mindboggling level of animation that was achieved in the movie. It’s simply out of the world stuff. It looks so real that somewhere deep down inside you develop a feeling that someday this fantasy may come true into our lives. That’s the magic of animation. Effective animation to be precise and not the one used in Rajnikant flicks. Coming back, the second had a great story line but since we had seen all the cool stuff before, it didn’t make the impact it should have. Moreover, it was a bit too long. And that gave me time to think about the word ‘Transformers’ and what can we make of it in real life with respect to the context of the movie.

The Transformers belonged to some other planet and to hide on earth they transformed into things which belonged here. Some wanted to save the earth, some to own it. How similar to this human race they were.

And when I tried to relate them the other way around, a beautiful thought came to me. We are not born with what we really want to achieve and our life is an opportunity to go about it. All of us have dreams, ambitions and desires. But to make them a reality, we need to transform ourselves into someone with that capability. We need to transform ourselves getting rid of all the short comings and weaknesses. We need to transform ourselves to someone who we really want to be. We need to transform ourselves so that we can make the world like we want it to be.

All we need is to believe in ourselves.
We all can be Optimus Prime.
We all can be Transformers.
