Did not miss it is really worth it

I paid attention to the box office before, and found that the box office of this good tiger blockbuster has skyrocketed, breaking the 600 million mark. Later, I heard that the film was good, so I saw the Dangerous Vagabond on the screen before it went down, and it really lived up to its reputation.
I think a lot of people have already talked about the tension and stimulation without urinating. I am just taking stock of the Chinese elements in the film.
First of all, the place where the monsters make trouble is the Pacific Ocean, so cities on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean may appear in the film. Sure enough, the underground mecha factory is located in Hong Kong. Needless to say, there are many Chinese faces among the workers. The people were actually Chinese triplets, with short inch heads, red clothes, and long sticks. The safety production slogans in the factory are also all in Chinese, and even the broadcast reminding people to act is also a female voice in Chinese. After the male and female protagonists failed to cooperate in the operation of the Dangerous Vagabond for the first time, they were despised and blamed by all the staff. The triplets' Chinese brothers' evaluation of the pair was "really shameful" and very Chinese-style condemnation. The background music of the triplets fighting against the fourth-generation monsters during the mission is also Chinese, and I don't know which part it is. It's similar to teenagers being self-improvement. Then there are the slums in Hong Kong, where all the elements are Chinese, Chinese, all kinds of Chinese character signs, light signs, streets and alleys are also Hong Kong style.
These Chinese elements are very exciting, and there is a feeling that I am also participating in this battle. It is very subtle. It is a pity that these are just the background, and there are no Chinese actors in the leading role. I hope that I can watch it in Hollywood movies in the future. to more and more Chinese faces

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.
