With special monster elements, Japanese mecha elements, and steampunk elements, the big pot of fried meat delivered by "Pacific Rim" is enough to make movie fans gluttonous throughout the summer, those animation elements and world settings that we have been familiar with. Certainly, this time it has been completely released on the live-action big screen. The surging frenzy will surely set off a new round of mecha and monster craze. While satisfying the old house, it will also create a new batch of mechas. Monster fans. Gilmour del Toro is not the pioneer of this type of film, but he is definitely the only master of the game. The mecha battle group released this time, the Godzilla more than ten times, and the Hong Kong Fortress. The collective carnival that came, let me not only see the joy of the latest level of the Hollywood film industry, but more importantly, let me see the collective burning of a whole era of youth dreams. There are not many fighters in the
Juvenile Mecha Dream
this time. There are only four fighters on the field. Except for my soy sauce scenes of red mechas and Maoist mechas, almost all the key scenes of this film are cast in the United States. On the mech, what’s more interesting is that a female operator of the American mech is actually a Ling Boli-like character in the neon country. For the neon country, the birthplace of the mech film, it is not a consolation or not. taste. Although there is Ling Boli, I only blame Ms. Juji Rinko for being a big mother. Otherwise, how many otaku's fantasies about the old goddess can be rekindled. The heart of imperialism does not die. After the four-level Mecha and the ugly Mao Kingdom were wiped out by the fourth-level monsters in two or three strokes, the U.S. emperor’s third-level mecha was defeated by the sky. A big monster. From then on, the mecha strategy group of the Pacific Rim Strategic Circle is only left with the American emperor and the Australian brother who will always follow the American emperor. This obvious YY behavior still shows the estrangement between the U.S. emperor and China and Russia. , And the neon country deserves to be restricted in its military power. As the country of origin of mechas, the film does not show any mechas of its own. After he was born, he was soaked by the Americans, which coincided with the reality a few times.
The setting of the Hong Kong fortress is easy to ignite Chinese fans, but it is a pity that Hong Kong in Hollywood shots is the same. Hong Kong in "Pacific Rim" and Hong Kong in "Total Memories" last year are almost the same: under steampunk Hong Kong is prosperous and dilapidated, and the dark and humid streets under the neon lights reveal a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere. And the setting of the wall of life in the film is very similar to the recent fire "Attack on Giant". This kind of ostrich-style approach of starting a wall when attacked by foreigners is indeed the same. Most of the monsters in
Godzilla's
"Pacific Rim" sneak out at night, and it is always difficult to see full-length photos in the water playing and fighting, although the special effects of this movie are already within seconds of movies such as Transformers and Godzilla. It's a street, but it still makes people suspect that it uses large shadows to cut corners, but these monsters are beaten to the flesh. It is really comfortable. In essence, it is not much different from Ultraman's monsters, but there are more tricks. , The effect is more realistic. There are many types of monsters, different sizes, but the most impressive are the evil monster mothers and monster babies. The use of the bones of alien creatures to aphrodisiac also reminds me of some evils in "The Ninth Zone". Interesting bridge section. All kinds of monsters satisfy the curiosity of the old houses. People are keen to watch this rotten meat that will always be slaughtered in different forms. The monsters in the movie can be distinguished if not carefully observed. Low, the reason why people are keen to be monster fans is because each monster has different settings behind it. The movie distinguishes the monsters by level, but does not specifically explain the different background characteristics of the monsters. The monsters are beaten when they come out. In the end, the hacked hacks turned into a bunch of indistinguishable rotten meat, but the breakdown of the types of these Pacific monsters and the summary of the background information can be found on the Internet. The jealousy of the two technical nerds in the film against the monsters is also a fun part of the film, which adds a sense of joy to the full-bodied movie. All in all, the various monsters in "Pacific Rim" can be regarded as a tribute to the largest screen of Japanese monster movies to date.
What? Does this movie have a plot?
Many people complain about the plot of this movie, but I don’t think it is worth mentioning. For such a commercial blockbuster, there is not much difference between the plot and the absence of the plot. You can use this analogy: this kind of commercial film Like meat skewers, people buy meat skewers to eat meat, not to buy small bamboo skewers for skewers. Obviously, the visual spectacle is meat, and the plot is the little poor skewers. The function of bamboo skewers is skewers. From the selling point of the visual spectacle. Whether it’s delicious, whether people buy it or not depends on the quality of your meat, your condiments are not in place, and you don’t have to worry about whether the bamboo sticks are good or not. Of course, Mai Kee movies like Transformers sometimes even Bamboo sticks can also have quality problems. The purely artistic and literary attributes of Hollywood commercial films have become lower and lower, and even to the point where they can be eliminated. As a nearly standardized commodity, the commodity attributes and standardized production attributes of blockbuster films have gradually departed from the literary attributes. For "Pacific Rim", people all know what they are consuming.
Other complaints
so far, it is estimated that only "Pacific Rim" can be regarded as a real mecha (Japanese-style mecha), and looking at the wide acclaim and box office nowadays, "Pacific Rim" opened more than just It is a wormhole leading to the earth, and it may be about to open a small branch of the real-life science fiction genre: Japanese mecha science fiction. I sincerely hope that the closed wormhole can be opened again. I sincerely hope that more Japanese mecha sci-fi elements can be incorporated. I sincerely hope that the Chinese mecha will no longer use soy sauce. I sincerely hope that you don’t always bring nuclear bombs to the aliens’ hometown. Round lie.
I personally think that there are two kinds of people who watch "Pacific Rim". One is an ordinary audience. They will think that "Pacific Rim" is a visually gorgeous and surging, valuable brainless Hollywood movie; the other is a kind of person. People who look at mecha movies and monster movies with a pilgrimage mentality, most of them are otaku. In front of the same special effects and the same BGM, they can see Ling Boli, can see Gundam, can see EVA, can watch When you go to Battlestar, you can see "Ghost in the Shell" and so on. In addition to the visual incisiveness, they can feel more blood and passion, because this is the teenage dream of him and his friends.
