This document discusses and analyzes scenes from the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon using postmodern terms. It describes scenes showing the city's destruction and humans succumbing to robots, representing dystopia and juxtaposition. Another scene portrays the hero saving the damsel, an example of hybridization between romance and action genres. The unrealism of finding a robot spacecraft on the moon and cars transforming is discussed in terms of artificialness/non-realism.

- 4. Dystopia + Juxtaposition These screen grabs from the film show the world at the disequilibrium and the destruction of the city and potentially humanity. It also highlights that the Robots pose a threat to humanity through the use of explosions and smoke. This screen grab can also be suggested as a juxtaposition between humans and the robots. One obvious aspects that is opposed is the control the robots have over man and the position humans are left in by succumbing to the Robots needs. Also, as Robots are seen to help the needs of humanity it is juxtaposed the other way around and this is not their purpose on earth.
- 5. Hybridisation Romance As the hero he saves the day and the damsel in distress to fight for her love
- 6. Artificialness/ Non Realism The Artificialness/ Non Realism of these screen grabs are that a broken down robot spacecraft is never to be found on the moon and discovered by humans. The association of automobiles turning into speaking robots does not seem real until possibly later on into the future.
