Transformers Neuro Linguistic Programming

NLP(Neuro-linguistic programming) can be used to invoke a pre-determined result in an individual using a variety of methods like body posture(appearances), tone of voice, and using a selection of words that on the surface appear innocuous but carry different messages to our subconscious. To learn more about it you can look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming Near the end of the film, we have the military and the civilians working side by side to defeat the forces of evil, which are trying to hatch their plan of world domination, the military is holding back these forces of evil, whilst the young civilian hero is tasked to take a pivotal item and run with it, whilst being chased by a 100 tonne robot. But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself, this is the important part, before he accepts this mission, an argument takes place over whether or not he can do it. The leading marine (hero figure) shouts at him, "You're a soldier now!" and then a line of dialogue which is reminiscent of Derren Brown and his mind control/manipulation techniques where the soldier shouts what sounds like "Get in the military!" followed directly by some unintelligible dialogue, which at first was just that, unintelligible, but after repeatedly watching and listening it's apparent that he's actually saying: "Get [it] in the military [hands]!" it being the important "AllSpark" item which holds the power to destroy life as they know it. All this occurs during a very climactic scene, explosions and chaos reigns supreme, during which very subtle things have been passed on to, and planted in the viewers subconscious. "Across the country, the U.S. military is failing to meet its recruitment goals. To address this problem, the Pentagon has been rapidly expanding its programs designed to entice young people to enlist. It is now spending $3.4 billion dollars annually, an average of $14,000 per new recruit. Using flashy marketing campaigns, television spots, and even developing its own videogames, the Army is bombarding young people with images that glorify guns and violence. Recruiters use elaborate PR strategies: they set up shop at malls, movie theaters, sporting events, and concerts, and they cruise around town in decked-out Humvees that blast music popular among teenagers." http://www.bestcyrano.org/THOMASPAINE/?p=123
