Auteur theory flows into film language, because Michael Bay loves him some film language (often without much thought to what the film language is actually *saying*).
Today, we're going to talk about visual language, especially contrast and affinity, when it works and when it doesn't, and why the visual language of Transformers makes it so difficult for what actually *happens* in the movies to stick with you after you leave the theater.
Also I finally said something nice about Christopher Nolan!
