Speaking of Bay specifically: Bay is very pro-military and goes out of his way to portray the US military in a positive light.
Observe the scene from Battleship where Lt. Col. Gregory Gadson, the director of the U.S. Army's Wounded Warrior Program, was cast to play a double-amputee soldier who, among other things, fist-fights an alien. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMX3v6exVf8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMX3v6exVf8
- nerfhammer 9y agoMichael Bay wasn't involved with Battleship, though it has been pointed out that it seems to be an imitation of his style
- fixermark 9y agoWow, major egg on my face; thank you for the clarification! I've actually been operating under the mistaken belief that Bay directed that movie. It feels incredibly Bay.
- youdontknowtho 9y agoFor some reason I just re-watched the first two transformers movies. (I don't know. They were still bad, but I like robots.) The funny thing is that he is not only pro-military, he's anti-government. It's not just that the military has to be seen in a good light, other government people have to also be seen as bad.
