The task of defending the earth is left to you

In addition to huge robots and huge monsters, "Pacific Rim" attracts me of course the special effects scenes. The Hollywood company headed by Industrial Light and Magic creates a psychedelic and cool night scene. Some people describe it this way, every time the mecha and the monster collide, they are as dazzling as fireworks, cutting through the dark sky. If the light bulbs in the mainland movie theaters are bright enough, I believe everyone will be shocked by the momentum of the Hong Kong war. If the audience has children in the late 70s and early 80s, especially young boys, then watching "Pacific Rim" in front of the IMAX screen will be a precious movie memory of the 21st century. It was like a human being who had never been in contact with nature, suddenly ran into a wild beast. In contrast, the story of the movie seems to be worth mentioning, obviously popular and young. Although there are classic settings such as neuron docking and two-person driving, which can be regarded as flashes, they are all classified as basic information, and the audience can believe it. The secondary clue is the two weird scientists who continue to play the role of last-minute rescue, which is really expected, there is really nothing to say. They had close contact with the monster, but they did not explain it separately in the form of a sequel egg. The egg in this movie is really just a funny egg, not a monster laying eggs, little monsters come out of their shells. Ever since, what attracted me the most about "Pacific Rim" was the childlike innocence of director Toro, just like the end of "Kung Fu", it all depends on the complex and wanton. As we all know, monster movies are not popular genre movies nowadays. There are basically no live-action movies except ACG in Japan. Occasionally, there are craftsmen like Michael Bay who can pile up some blockbuster special effects, but they are not nutritious. Countless people still have to ask this question when they walk out of the movie theater: Why do they use their fists to fight monsters? Humans not only have thermal weapons, but there are other super-destructive guys. Why bother to use such primitive hand-to-hand combat methods to fight monsters. I am afraid the answer is somewhat unreasonable. After all, to fight monsters is to fight monsters. Why do you need so many excuses to fight monsters? As a movie viewer, who has considered the feelings of monsters. Otherwise, why should the rich second generation save the earth and maintain world peace? Why should the alien matter be smashed to the earth to solve it? Therefore, "Pacific Rim" is a movie that can't be thought of too much. It is a cool picture to satisfy the crowds of mecha enthusiasts and special films. If you also consider scientific principles and realistic logic, then they are not feasible in movies. Of course, I am dissatisfied with "Pacific Rim", except that the American mechas show their power and annihilate the Australian mechas and Chinese mechas, which have more monsters, and their space to play is really limited. Especially the Chinese mech, the way of tragic death (second only to the Russian mech A), I am afraid it will make local audiences deeply saddened. Fortunately, Toro didn't seem to think about the psychological projections of overseas audiences. He didn't look at the three Chinese drivers, and he didn't give a close-up of the front at all. He was just a dead end. Having said that, it is probably Japanese movie fans who are really furious. As a major exporter of mecha culture, apart from contributing a female driver, this movie seems to have nothing to do with them. But to put it this way, Koreans can't sit still, and countries around the Atlantic and Indian Oceans can't sit still, because this movie has nothing to do with them. Whoever said that monsters attack indiscriminately, they still have a choice. But if you think that "Pacific Rim" is just a popcorn movie that satisfies the people of the U.S.-that seems to be a mistake. The tribute of this movie is not only in the ending subtitles, but also the amount of citations is rare (this is the ultimate reason for North America's dissatisfaction). The Rocket Flying Fist, which is translated as "Pegasus Meteor Fist", is actually from "Devil Z". As for the "Tendo" in the rear control room, it should actually be a direct tribute to "Dian Tong." The small details are still so, there is no need to say anything about "Mobile Suit Gundam", "EVA", "Iron Man 28", "Godzilla" and the like. What's more, isn't the Hong Kong in "Pacific Rim" the same as the streets of Hong Kong in "Ghost in the Shell 2"? Not to mention, Toro is still a monster fan, he is obsessed with making all kinds of strange monsters. Regrettably, with the exception of the Flying Dragon Monster, the impression of other monsters is not strong enough, especially the three guys on the bottom of the sea. Having said that, I believe many people can also see Toro's problem. He is like a child picking shells by the sea, content with the gifts given by God and his predecessors, but forgot to create his own new world. Regardless of the special effects scenes, "Pacific Rim" is not the kind of film that is groundbreaking, and there is no deep digging in the characters. Huge robots fighting huge monsters didn't feel fresh until fifty years ago. What the movie has done is only a real person, which looks more realistic and shocking. But if the audience understands the reasons mentioned above and knows the director's intentions, then it is very simple and very happy to accept "Pacific Rim". The dream of wearing a mecha and protecting the earth is indeed something that we only had when we were a child. 【Sohuhttp://yule.sohu.com/20130731/n383008456.shtml】

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.
