Transformers (2007): it\u2019s about sorting out the problems between machines in earth\u2019s backyard. But will the people on earth be neutral?<\/p>\n

In the neighborhood, or in the vicinity, are the machines, the transformers. They are from another planet, but fighting on planet Earth. That\u2019s somebody else\u2019s backyard.<\/p>\n

Earth would be neutral and not involved whatsoever in the transformers’ problems.<\/p>\n

That’s because people don\u2019t have to take a side in a conflict if the conflict isn\u2019t their own conflict. Neutrality is supporting neither, impartiality.<\/p>\n

But the humans do all they can to help sort the conflict out. People go out of their way to help the transformers resolve their problems even though earth is neutral.<\/p>\n

It would be that people have to: the transformers waging war on earth’s backyard is wrecking havoc all over the place. The army has to stop more wreckage.<\/p>\n

On neutral turf<\/h4>\n

The inconvenience to the ebb and flow of life may be temporarily annoying as squabbling neighbors\u2014or in the Transformer\u2019s case, machines\u2014let off steam on neutral turf.<\/p>\n

It would be a pain if it happened in your backyard. Maybe you\u2019ve experienced something like that in real life, where people use your backyard as a place for their problems.<\/p>\n

The transformers are machines that were fighting each other on their home planet Cybertron, between the Autobots and the Decepticons. The Allspark is smuggled off Cybertron by the Autobots, but Megatron goes after it, and the war is transferred to Earth.<\/p>\n

The Allspark is the origin of life on the planet. Whoever possesses it will have unlimited powers. Whoever comes out on top will possess these powers\u2014for good or evil.<\/p>\n

People on earth have become indirectly involved in the transformer\u2019s problems. \u00a0It shows that people don\u2019t stay neutral forever in the problems of others.<\/p>\n

In reality, if a problem between people breaks out, and people are in the vicinity, there is a desire to assist in someone else\u2019s problem, if possible. If there is a way to help out, people would. Especially if someone is in need.<\/p>\n

In the case of the transformers, it’s a necessity to get involved.<\/p>\n

The question you may ask is When is the point do you get involved in someone else’s problem?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
