There is no way to answer this question. Why is the Transformers human form? Why does Mobile Suit Gundam take a human form? Why does the mobile police need a human form?
This is already a type, and the main creator of the person in charge will find a reason for the giant to exist, but if the reason is not so reliable, this type has been formed, and to a large extent, it is not so reliable and acceptable.
What kind of type is this?
Since the advent of "starship troopers", reinforced armor has become an iconic symbol of sci-fi warfare. Although it is a pity that the movie version of "Starship Troopers" has insufficient budget and can't afford the armor to make the infantry wear like the New Fourth Army to fight against the Zergs, but under the success of Tomino Yoshiyuki, the concept of MOBILE SUIT began to gain popularity.
Why are humanoid robots popular? Because of its beautiful appearance, handsome, and high-end atmosphere!
There are many predecessors in the Pacific Rim:
"Godzilla", other special Japanese films, Gundam, EVA. This is why in such an American movie, a monster of infinite power appears. There is no large spaceship or space battleship against it, no long-range weapon or virus weapon against it, but a hard bridge with punches and fists.
This is because this is a Hollywood movie with obvious Japanese pedigree, similar to the Matrix with a certain Shaw Brothers style in pedigree.
My girlfriend said that it can be done directly with a knife, so wouldn't it be enough to just bury all kinds of knives on the beach from the beginning, or the kind of mechanism that can shoot the blade out?
I explained to her: If you doubt the setting of the whole world view, watching this kind of movie will be very painful. Those who are accustomed to watching compact American dramas turned their heads to watch Taiwan idol drama, OMG, don't these people have to go to work? Don't these people have business affairs? Can't these people stop talking? There is a truth.
Monsters need to be beaten. If you can’t fight them hand-to-hand, then don’t shoot monster movies. Isn’t "Clover's Archives" very beautiful? If you like Clover's Archives, you will inevitably feel that "Rim of the Pacific" is exaggerated...
If you have accepted the setting of the world view happily, and accepted a very unscientific weapon setting like a humanoid robot without any difficulty, then congratulations, you can enjoy 2 hours of excitement and enjoyment.
This is the style of Japanese film and television works. When you watch it, you must lose the drag of reality, otherwise you won't be able to enter the scene.
"Beyond the Cloud" you can't enter the scene, "Ghost in the Shell" you can't enter the scene, and "Fullmetal Alchemist" you can't enter the scene even more.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad. It’s just that when others are enjoying the scene of monsters biting giants and giants grabbing monsters swallowing mountains and rivers, you will struggle in your heart: "The material of this metal is so good that it won’t disperse; these How come the parts only fly out and don’t fall into the cab; why is the skin of this monster so strong and elastic at the same time?" At
this time, you may be calculating, if you were a director, where would you bury it on the coast? Knife...
