How "high-end" fans made "Pacific Rim"

1. First of all, it is absolutely impossible to shoot in 3D. Takeshi Kitano said well: "3D is only suitable for shooting pornography." God Nolan has resisted 3D physically for the rest of his life. Therefore, 3D is just a way for businessmen to make money, and it is a blasphemy of film art. As a high-end movie fan, at most, he can only accept imax. Either pursue art or not shoot.

2. The story of "Pacific Rim" lacks depth, especially the beginning, which is too simple and crude. The ideal beginning for high-end movie fans should be like this:

Location: The back garden of the male protagonist's house.

Young Raleigh Beckett and his brother were playing together in the garden. Raleigh chased his brother and said, "Brother, wait a minute, let me see." The brother said, "Whoever finds it will go to whom." Raleigh: " Just take a look." My brother opened his hand. Suddenly the mountain shook, and the monster appeared.

The moment it appeared, it gave me a black screen, and then cut the camera.

Location: City Wall Construction Site Dormitory.

Adult Raleigh awakened from a dream, the side of the workers: "You dream it?"

Rowley: "Nightmare."

(Note: At this point in Raleigh character modeling should be stubblefaced, dressed in rags, with the decadent (With the battle-tested perseverance)

As shown above, it is the opening method. In order to make the story more high-end and deep, to appear noble and high-grade, to increase the inner entanglement of the characters and the display of the inner drama, the following story can be expanded like this:

Then when Raleigh finished moving the bricks and rested to watch TV, briefly explain the status quo of monsters attacking humans on the TV, and for some reason fight with the workers and win. After the fight, return to the room to see the black people of the past. The general, and then the black general took him back to the base for demobilization training, and then began the current plot to fight monsters. Then continue to use dreams or nerve synchronization to explain the past of Raleigh and his brother as drivers and the accident. It is necessary to highlight the mental shock that the tragic death of his brother caused to Raleigh, as well as the deep fear of monsters and the loss of relatives and friends. It is especially important that the timeline of the past and the current timeline of Monster Fighting alternately move forward in synchronization. In this way, it appears high-end and noble, which is different from the brainless blockbuster in the general sense. Although the story is the same, just changing the language (narrative style) will make it look much more noble. For example, 9*5 looks very simple, but changing to 5*9 feels like it becomes difficult immediately. In fact, the essence is the same.

3. The monster of the villain cannot be the same as the livestock that only knows to eat and drink Lazard to breed offspring. Even if the first few monsters can be brainless, there must be a monster boss with a high IQ type behind the scenes. This monster boss must treat the male protagonist Raleigh. Has a full understanding of the past, the degree of evil is directly proportional to IQ, and must be able to say something like: Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos, I'm an agent of chaos, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair. lines. Or say: And what you really fear is inside yourself. You fear your own power. You fear your anger. The monster that only sprays venom to demolish the house is obviously too low-end. You must have enough patience to mold the villain as a decent one. The reason why monsters attack humans must not be for the purpose of reproducing offspring and finding a home for mentally retarded reasons. As a high-end villain, even if you are just a monster, you must establish a sufficiently high world outlook and life values. The reason for demolishing the house must be related to the four words "human nature is evil."

4. In terms of actors, the male protagonist can consider using Christian Bale, the black general wants Morgan Freeman to play, the heroine originally considered Marion Cotillard, considering that the character setting is a Japanese, so it is in a pending stage . As for the envisaged monster villain, when the script was written, it was originally Heath Ledger. For reasons known to all, he decided to let Tom Hardy play it. In addition, to arrange a role of both father and teacher for the male protagonist, Michael Cain must be played. By the way, Edison Chen should be able to play the role of a Chinese driver as a cannon fodder.

5. As for the soundtrack, it must be Hans Zimmer without even thinking about it.

6. By the way, the words pacific rim must appear in the ending subtitles with Hans Zimmer's tragic and majestic music.

Pacific Rim quotes

  • Raleigh Becket: This is worth fighting for. We don't have to just obey him.

    Mako Mori: It's not obedience, Mr. Becket; it's respect.

  • [first lines]

    Raleigh Becket: [narrating] When I was a kid, whenever I'd feel small or lonely, I'd look up at the stars. Wondered if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction. When alien life entered our world, it was from deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. A fissure between two tectonic plates. A portal between dimensions. The Breach. I was fifteen when the first Kaiju made land in San Francisco.

    [pause]

    Raleigh Becket: By the time tanks, jets and missiles took it down, six days and 35 miles later, three cities were destroyed. Tens of thousands of lives were lost. We mourned our dead, memorialized the attack, and moved on. And then, only six months later, the second attack hit Manila.

    Newscaster: [on TV] The acid factor of the Kaiju blood creates a toxic phenomenon known as Kaiju Blue

    Raleigh Becket: Then the third one hit Cabo. And then the fourth. And then we learned this was not gonna stop. This was just the beginning. We needed a new weapon. The world came together, pooling it's resources and throwing aside old rivalries for the sake of the greater good. To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. The Jaeger program was born.
