The ultimate dream of a specific group of people

What is romance? A thousand people will have a thousand answers. For the sentimental person, romance is empathetic, gentle and considerate; for the wealthy person, romance is the golden house hidden in the house and the wine pond meat forest; for the white-collar workers, the romance is the half-day leisure; for the students, romance Is there wine now and now drunk; what exactly is romance?
Romantic fuck, of course, driving Gundam to fight monsters.
Plot: After
watching the movie, my first impression is: any plot is pale in front of this movie.
There is no nonsense in this movie, and the audience is clear at the beginning of the story, and then this group of people is only doing one thing from beginning to end, fighting monsters. The male protagonist fights monsters with his brother, father and son fight monsters, triplets fight monsters, husband and wife fight monsters. After the male protagonist meets the female protagonist, they flirt for less than five minutes. The relationship is established with a smile and a smile. What do you do after that, still fight monsters. The protagonists are busy saving the world. How can there be time to talk about love for their children?
Students who may not have seen the above plot think this movie is a bit strange. In my opinion, this movie is indeed an outlier among mainstream Hollywood sci-fi works (that is, popcorn sci-fi movies). It has no in-depth discussion of human nature, no extra sensationalism and memories, no love story in the background of the apocalypse, no clichés like "Our US military is the world's first in science and technology" (well, the protagonist is an American body). The movie gives you enough things you want to watch, skip all the things you don’t want to watch and fast forward, the kind of "Eh, it’s over, should you take a break? Damn it, why do you start playing so soon!" General happiness The feeling is really great. It is just like the marinated noodles made by a chef in a northwest town. It has enough and affordable ingredients. Your stomach will burst when you eat it. It turns out that there are still a few pieces of beef in the soup. It feels the same.

pay tribute:
Speaking of this movie, I have to talk about Japanese mecha animations and special films. It can be seen that Gilmour de Toro is also an otaku who has been poisoned by this kind of film like me. The movie is full of tributes to Japanese classic special photos/animations in the 90s, and even the name "Monster" simply uses the Japanese pronunciation of Kaiju. In addition, does the setting of "the deeper the bond between the drivers is more conducive to the control of the robot" sounds familiar? In this movie, the mecha and control suit settings of various countries have their own characteristics and highlights. In these settings, we can see a lot of shadows of Japanese classic anime. Give some imagination to the friends who are going to watch the movie.

Evaluation:
As a kid who grew up watching Transformers, Battlestar, Gundam, Demon Heroes, Five Stars, Ultraman series and other animation/special films (thanks to Jade), I can’t do this movie. Give any objective or even negative comments. The Pacific Rim is like a Chinese partner to an unwilling young man, and a young age to a spring-born woman with an underdeveloped brain. It is a beautiful dream. This dream belongs to the imitations of us who bought it from a stall after school. King Kong, Ultraman fought a little boy for three hundred rounds on the sand in the backyard of the school.
Thanks to Gilmour de Toro, for the first time I can enjoy a movie with only one pair of eyes and a pair of ears. After the movie, I was immersed in a long-lost second-degree atmosphere. , Rinko Kikuchi’s sentence "Family no ために" and various handsome moves are always playing back in my mind. Thanks to this movie, I have regained a bit of my youth.
Pacific Rim: two thousand and five hundred tons of awesome, one hundred and thirty minutes of nice dream

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.
