Military Daily: "Pacific Rim" demeans China, reminiscent of the US-Japan alliance

Recently, the American sci-fi blockbuster "Pacific Rim" is being released. It is still the old-fashioned plot of American warriors saving the world in the face of disaster, or the production method of computer synthesis and 3D animation, or the grand scene of thrilling and exaggerated, there are not many new highlights, but the US Asia-Pacific strategy reflected in the film is worth pondering.

At the critical moment when the monster was swallowed up, the American mecha warrior rescued the Japanese girl Mazi, who later became a mecha warrior under the training of the Americans. After defeating the monster, he hugged the injured American partner and said emotionally, "I don't want to. Let you go", reminiscent of the US-Japan alliance in reality. In order to deal with the monsters, the United States once again played the role of the savior and the police of the world, taking the opportunity to deploy multiple mecha units in the Pacific Rim, persuading countries to spend huge sums of money to build a defensive wall as high as 300 meters along the coast. After the support, some Pacific Rim island countries were added.

The key battle to completely defeat the monster was "smartly" chosen in the South China Sea adjacent to Hong Kong. American mech warriors have protected Hong Kong, stabilized the Asia-Pacific, and saved mankind. Americans are busy studying monsters and saving human beings, but in Hong Kong, China, food, medicine, and handicrafts made from the meat, skin, internal organs, and bones of monsters are selling extremely well. Even the fat parasites on the monsters have become the tip of the tongue. The delicious food on the market continues to dwarf and degrade China's image.


Hollywood has always been the best propaganda machine in the United States, and its understanding of American strategy is deeply rooted. Many Hollywood blockbusters have made great efforts to select materials and spare no effort to promote American values ​​and global strategies. For example, "Ice Age" seized on the global climate change that countries were arguing about at that time, "007 Who and Contradiction" described North Korea as an "axis of evil" to smear and insult, and "King of War" used the United States and Russia to compete The competition for "the world's largest arms dealer" is the background. American blockbusters not only suck billions of dollars from China every year, but what is even more terrifying is to quietly implant Western values ​​into the younger generation of China. think with the values ​​of the United States, and act with American systems and rules.” From this point of view, this time, "Pacific Rim" continues Hollywood's consistent style in terms of theme, plot, location, protagonist, etc., which coincides with the current Asia-Pacific strategy of the United States. It is self-evident what monsters are.

At present, various ideological and cultural exchanges and confrontations are becoming more frequent around the world, and the international ideological and cultural struggles are profound and complicated. Some people in the West regard the development and growth of our country as a challenge to their values ​​and institutional models, and intensify their ideological and cultural infiltration into our country. The original "invisible propaganda". The majority of officers and soldiers must keep their eyes open, build a strong ideological "firewall", and learn to watch American blockbusters from multiple perspectives. It is particularly important to take precautions and prepare for the crisis, expand and deepen military preparations, improve the ability to fight and win wars, and resolutely defend national sovereignty, security and development interests.

    I feel that there are many places that cannot be justified. For example, why should the operator be in Jaeger's body and cannot be remotely controlled? Jaeger's limbs are injured, and the operator is also injured (doesn't it reduce his combat effectiveness)? Jaeger has stunts, and he also picks up containers and ships to fill up the number, and he always saves his death until the end? However, there is nothing better than watching cool stunts and real heroes in the theater with popcorn on a weekend night. Big friends sometimes need Ultraman to nourish their souls.
