On his DVD commentary, Michael Bay makes it very clear that he was not attempting to make a contemporary love story, but a 1940's love story, the type of story that could have been seen in films of the day. Bay claims that one of the reasons the love story plot was so derided by critics and rejected by audiences was simply because they weren't able to look at it from this perspective, that they weren't able to adopt the sense of innocence and carefree attitude necessary to accept it. Ben Affleck also addresses this aspect of the story on his own commentary, especially in relation to the much maligned "champagne cork scene", pointing out that such a scene would be right at home in a 1940's romance film.
