  • Spectacle, Labour and Utopia in Michael Bay's the Island Brian
    The Cinema Within: spectacle, labour and utopia in Michael Bay’s The Island Brian Baker In this article, I will analyse Michael Bay’s The Island (2005) as a cinematic spectacle which, through its imagination of a particular dystopian future, lays bare the machinery of spectacular visuality that is crucial to the mode of Hollywood spectacle cinema that Bay’s work is often held to exemplify. I will suggest that the formal apparatus of the utopia/dystopia, and of science fiction itself, allows for a reading of The Island as a kind of self-conscious critique of spectacle cinema within the formal apparatus of spectacle cinema, which works in part through thematising visuality and in part through making visible the very apparatus of cinematic production itself. In this, I will draw upon the work of Jonathan Beller, and in particular The Cinematic Mode of Production (2006), and a mode of film theory and criticism in which cinema is foundationally implicated in the production of ideology. In Beller’s work, which draws on Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard and Fredric Jameson, ‘cinema’ can be understood not only as an effect of the circuits of late capital, where spectacle is an extension of ideology, but as a means by which capital extends its operations into new productive domains, into attention and the ‘work’ of spectatorship. My reading of The Island suggests that it is a particularly important film in Bay’s oeuvre, in that it marks a point at which Bay’s visual strategies of cinematic spectacle turn back on themselves and the formal presentation of visuality within a utopian/dystopian paradigm affords the potential for critique, both within and without the film.

  • It's the Season for Big Movies and Big Hits—And the Occasional Sleeper
    Summer Blockbusters It’s the season for big movies and big hits—and the occasional sleeper. Here are directors living large in a selection of shots from some good old summertime films. HANGING OUT: (opposite) Michael Bay looks up at Mark Wahlberg in Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014). The Hong Kong set took 16 weeks to build in downtown Detroit and was so large, shooting had to be adjusted to allow the downtown light rail system to pass through; (above) Todd Phillips (center) sets up a driving shot en route to Las Vegas for The Hangover (2009). “There is a real freedom and an energy and an aggressiveness that comes with doing an R-rated movie,” Phillips said. “As a comedy director, it’s where you want to be.” 54 dga quarterly PHOTOS: (LEFT) FRANK MASI/WARNER BROS.; (OPPOSITE) ANDREW COOPER/PARAMOUNT PICTURES/EVERETT dga quarterly 55 THE NEXT THING: Jon Favreau (center) directs a scene with Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2 (2010). Since so much of the technology depicted in the first Iron Man had inspired video games, Favreau pushed the sequel further into the future so that the look wouldn’t be behind the curve. WIZARD OF HOGWARTS: Ten years of storytelling comes to an end as David Yates prepares Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) for his impending death in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011).

  • The Cinema of Michael Bay: an Aesthetic of Excess
    1 The Cinema of Michael Bay: An Aesthetic of Excess Bruce Bennett, Lancaster University UK fig. 1: An aesthetic of excess – the spectacle of destruction in Bad Boys II Introduction Michael Bay’s films offer us some of the clearest examples of technically complex, emotionally direct, entertaining contemporary cinema. He has built up a substantial body of work; in addition to directing music videos and TV adverts and producing films and TV series, he has also directed eleven feature films since the mid-1990s with budgets ranging from $19m to over $200m. To date, these films have grossed over $2bn at the box office and have a global reach, with his latest film, Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) outstripping Titanic (Cameron, 1997) and Red Cliff (Woo, 2008) to become the highest-grossing film in China. Bay’s filmic style so typifies mainstream US cinema that his name has come to function as shorthand for the distinctive form of 21st century big budget cinema. Bay’s films are occasionally discussed in positive terms as instances of Hollywood cinema’s technological sophistication, but more frequently they are invoked negatively as illustrations of Hollywood’s decadence, its technical ineptness, conceptual superficiality and extravagant commercialism. As Jeffrey Sconce observes, for instance, discussing the emergence of a wave of self-consciously ‘smart’ American independently produced films in the 1990s: they are almost invariably placed by marketers, critics and audiences in symbolic opposition to the imaginary mass-cult monster of mainstream, commercial, Hollywood cinema (perhaps best epitomized by the 'dumb’ films of Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Bay and James Cameron).
