Alright, folks... who watched "Transformers Rise of the Beasts"?
I loved the movie, it was amazing!
I noticed while watching it, the two main Protagonists...Optimus Prime and Noah Diaz...both carried a burden, one his family and the other of being responsible for being stranded on Earth.
So...I will tell you no more.
Thoughts...
Sometimes people are seemingly defeated due to things that happen during their lives... that take away their will to fight... or else they carry a great burden on their shoulders.
This was and is present in the life of Noah Diaz, he carries a great burden as he was and is considered a great pillar back home... He tries to contribute to the sustenance of the house, but also to his brother who has major health problems, but it is not only the physical health of his brother that helps...
The young man is a confidant of his brother Kris in all respects, as the little one feels very vulnerable due to the health problems he suffers from.
Well wants to help his mother with the hospital bills that pile up every time Kris gets treatment, and there's always someone at the hospital who is constantly reminding his mother of that outstanding bill... All at the risk of his younger brother losing the right to his treatment.
He wanted to use his military resume to get work as a security guard... but always got a NO saying it doesn't fit... and who doesn't know how to work as a team.
Unfortunately, these problems with money always affect the poorest... those who live in ghettos and who belong to ethnic minorities in a city as big as New York... yes... those who are poor and unemployed have no right to health care... Noah has that in his mind.
To try to make up for the lack of money he uses his wisdom in electronics by repairing small appliances for those who know him, namely a friend named Reek... who likes to do certain ... other people's jobs...
How did it take so many job refusals... decides to follow the "advice" of his friend Reek... And from there his life took a 180° turn.
He crossed paths with mechanical beings from another planet, the Autobots and their Leader Optimus Prime, and later with Elena Wallace, an archaeology intern... well researched ancient artifacts, but never got credit for her research.
The black girl came across a strange artifact that bore strange characters... of a forgotten age... Is that the case?
This bird-shaped artifact hid something vital to these mechanical beings from another planet... but that it should remain hidden if it wasn't for Elena unintentionally activating a strange key... that sparked an unprecedented battle for her life... who was saved by Noah, the Autobots, and a Maximal... Airazor, who began to share her knowledge with everyone... Elena also shared what she discovered that left the Maximal bird amazed at such knowledge on the part of a human.
Noah and Elena Wallace embarked on an incredible adventure... but that has become a race against time, to save the Earth.
And when they went to Peru via the Stratosphere, more precisely to Machu-Pitchu.
As they traveled, Elena looked at Noah and Prime because of their life stories, and how they were so similar... That was his first impression of both.
On the other hand, Noah had the opportunity to get to know Optimus Prime in more detail... the Autobot Leader.
Seeing that he felt responsible for all the 'Bots being trapped on Earth, noticed that he didn't want contact with the natives... The Mech distrusted humans in every respect.
When they met in that abandoned warehouse, Mirage's courtesy the boy watched a discussion between Prime and Bumblebee regarding being discreet and avoiding contact with humans, Bee only tells him using the radio, "I'm friends with one." Prime has to swallow... and how he sees that he uses human voices to communicate, as well as certain jokes, he tries to prohibit him from going to the drive-in.
All this in the hours leading up to the first battle with Scourge and company resulting in the apparent death of the yellow mech.
Elena helped the Autobots and Maximals search for the other half of a key... since Scourge had stolen the first one, as they wanted to prevent the destruction of Earth by Unicron and his henchmen.
But when they lost the said key to the Terrors' side... Noah and Prime shared the blame... Elena said to the Latin, " You are like Prime, you both carry a huge burden... because they want to protect the one they love the most." Noah doesn't argue, because he knows it's true.
"Since Elena is right... I carry this burden on my shoulders, my brother who needs me... my mother, and at this very moment protect the Earth from possible destruction.
Any day it will collapse on my shoulders and then... I don't know how to get out, so I'll have to share this with someone." Noah thinks to himself.
Primal feels it too... for Airazor had died at his hands... by her will, for she was infected by a Scourge virus.
He didn't want to... but he had to do it for the good of all and because it was the will of the Maximal bird.
After all, Optimus Primal also had something to protect... your new home for over 500 years... for they have been welcomed by an ancient tribe and Primal feels that he must protect his new family, for he has been doing so for centuries together with the other Maximals... and how beautiful the place was... a rainforest in the interior of Peru.
Noah was unsure as he fought Scourge alongside Mirage, the villain destroyed them both, but was it their last fight?
When all seemed lost... Kris's voice was heard, telling him something via Comlink, " Now it's my turn my brother... to support you, never give up... I won't let you give up.
Don't let Mirage's death defeat you, fight!" The young man was dumbfounded... for he never thought his brother would communicate with Mirage via Comlink... for the Autobot had promised Kris that he would not let anything happen to his older brother.
In that landscape desolate by volcanic lava a miracle happened... No... two, the first is that the Autobot in question wasn't dead... turned into armor for the boy... and then Noah showed what he was capable of... even Bee appeared as if he had been resurrected due to the energy emanating from the activation of the portal... for he lay in a quarry of Energon.
Noah was stunned by this... for Bee was hopelessly lost... But when they both came together to fight something in common... He saw that unity makes strength, which led him to flourish as a warrior who cares about his own... fighting alongside her new friends, giving her enemies a hard time, and allowing the young researcher to get the code in to disable the portal that would allow Unicron to devour Earth.
Unfortunately, the portal console was destroyed by Scourge before the data placed took effect... but the villain had intense combat with Prime and Noah, eventually perishing at Prime's hands in the glowing lava that flowed down the walls of the active volcano where the portal stood.
A decision was made... Prime was going to make the ultimate sacrifice to save Earth from destruction by Unicron, because by destroying that portal... everything around him was going to be sucked or torn to pieces, Prime included.
When the Autobot Leader seemed to be fully sucked into the void, two hands held onto his combat axe... it was Noah who hadn't accepted Optimus Prime's fate, and with the help of the Suit/Mirage slowly pushed him away... but Primal's help was essential, and there an alliance was forged to protect the Earth from external threats.
A Leader defeated by life allied with another and it was enough to cooperate against a common evil, to come out as two strong souls with hope for the Future, and a lasting friendship was built between two intelligent species.
And you know what?
Noah began to see his luck change for the better... finally Kris would have the necessary medical help to treat her health problem unhindered and Elena Wallace managed to be the protagonist of great discoveries without being in the background.
The union of species was enough to open doors to the future.
End...
What do you think folks?
