“It’s not revolutionary—just the past with a bit of stank on it…”
I love the kind of cinematographic analysis that Tony Zhou applies to the work of Michael Bay (work that’s “important, though probably for all the wrong reasons“)

As interesting as the analysis is, in places it is no deeper than Bay’s films are. Saying Bay has ripped off Star Wars with the staging of his WWII shots is a bit daft as Lucas based his many of his Star Wars shots on WWII footage and Star Wars itself was basically a repackaging of classic shots and tropes from other films/books etc in a new genre. Not so different from Bay using his influences.
