Transformers 5 - The Last night........... (funny hey!)
There is a scene halfway through.....
It starts with panoramic shots of brown sand dunes creased and crumpled in the wind and a blue sky. In the background one sees a towering Transformer monolith, some hitherto unexplained horn-like artifact rising out of the shifting sands.
Then the location marker says: “Namibia, West Africa”.
Namibia is, according to Michael Bay and the legion of producers, editors, and writers who worked on 'Transformers 5', somewhere in West Africa. Maybe near Nigeria or Ghana or Senegal or Burkina Faso.
It seems Michael Bay can break and manipulate all the laws of physics, rewrite the history books, and even change the geographic layout of the world.
How did Bay get the funding to render all the CGI, pay all of the actors, market and distribute his film, and not check Google Maps to see where Namibia was?
I mean, Google Maps is definitely cheaper than rendering Optimus Prime's shiny and scratched surfaces. It is callous, really, the misrepresentation – an unforgivable slight.
It seems permissible to overlook details of culture and geography when it comes to Africa while every western detail is rendered superlatively. These slights will only continue unless the numerous voices which represent the continent are provided with an opportunity to make themselves heard – to bring parity and clarity, to represent the misinterpreted.
“Namibia, West Africa”. Nee fok.
