"Pacific Rim" from the perspective of a science house

I got up early and went to the cinema to watch 3D "Pacific Rim". It may have been a long, long time ago that I fell asleep while watching "Swordfish". of. But watching "Pacific Rim", I spent more than two hours in a state of visual and auditory overload, and then I was deeply impressed by the current state of development of the film industry.
The production of the big monster is very delicate, the black-gray skin is very rough and fleshy, huge but flexible, full of strength and dynamic; the shape of the big robot is full of beauty, such as the ecstasy small waist of the close-up "Wanderer". , and what is the name of the powerful big robot that took the Russian sturdy route at first glance, and the three-handed red robot made in Changzhou, China, are all works with a full sense of sincerity in design, so many There are so many types of armored warriors and so many big monsters, there is always one for you. In addition, the fight scenes are very cool, and the light and shadow effects, soundtrack and sound effects are really worthy of the ocean of going to the cinema.

Here's a look at the science-related thoughts that came to mind while watching the movie.
1. Based on the conclusion drawn by the cute biologist who studies monsters with big black-framed glasses, the situation of this story is based on the most basic assumption: the monster is a species that organizes life in the same way as human beings. The organization and activities are basically the same.
Big monsters are still related to DNA, a scientific term that people are all too familiar with. That is to say, their reproduction, even growth and differentiation, are similar to those of humans. It is estimated that it is also a series of transcription, translation, and so on. In addition, this conclusion can also be seen in the dialogue between the monster scientist and the industry-university-research expert Hannibal Zhou.
Another point is that since the monster boy can use a device that studies the nervous system with a strong retro style and seems to have passed through from the 19th century to achieve synaesthesia with the monsters, it means that the nervous organization of monsters is similar to that of humans. To what extent the prefrontal lobe has developed, at least it is no different from the big animals on the earth, that is, it looks a little ugly and has too much fighting power.
2. The living environment of monsters should be very high in ammonia. It is guessed that ammonia is to monsters as water is to earth species, so this is still a relatively hard science fiction. In addition, this group of monsters may prefer an environment with a higher sulfur content. But blood is strongly acidic, what's going on o(╯□╰)o! ! ! ! ! ! !
3. From the fighting scenes, it can be seen that the armored warriors who take the human body as the basic model and move in the human body are actually not cheap in combat effectiveness compared to the body structure of the monster. In the final analysis, it shows that the combat effectiveness of human beings is very low. This is related to the evolutionary strategy of human beings. The evolution of intelligence has strengthened the hunting ability of human groups. Human sociality has developed to the pinnacle among all species. Among the animals of the weight, the fighting ability has also become scum. In the final analysis, a big robot fighting a monster can be regarded as an event in which a person of the same size and weight is trying his best to fight a strange and disgusting animal whose fighting power is arrogant. Therefore, the role of intelligence-based development strategies in combat is dominated by large robots, while large monsters are more out of instinctive combat responses. It can be said that this is still a confrontation with high intelligence and high combat effectiveness.
4. When it comes to the low combat capability of human soldiers, the biggest problem in the "Pacific Rim" situation is that due to the upright walking of humans, the center of gravity of humans is too high, which is the most disadvantaged in fighting. Although the upright walking of humans frees up their hands, making humans more flexible in their shoulders than orangutans, and has unparalleled throwing skills, but in this film, all are close to hand-to-hand combat, so based on the human body and Skills, the advantages of throwing are not reflected at all, but the disadvantages of low center of gravity are fully exposed. Basically ironclad warriors are knocked down or torn apart because they lost their balance first.
At one point, I guessed that if the armored warriors were made according to the body of the orangutan, although they were not as cool and elegant as the human fighting process, they would at least reduce the center of gravity to a level similar to that of the monsters and run fast, and the flexibility of their hands was not as good. How much to lower. But the problem is that the person driving the gorilla armored warrior may be very awkward o(╯□╰)o why
not try the armored warrior still walking upright, with shorter legs and longer arms, given the tried-and-true one of the Nomad The sword played a miraculous effect, so the iron-clad warriors could control the male and female double-strand swords and become countless imitated Liu Bei iron-clad warriors.
5. Whether it's a big robot fight or a real person fight, the protection above the shoulders is really important. For example, the Changzhou Assembly of the soy sauce made in China is gorgeously sacrificed due to the fragile head. A moment of silence for the three Soy Sauce brothers who always play basketball.
6. I don’t know if it’s cool for the sake of being good-looking. The big robot’s moves are well-rounded and very in line with the rules. They never disdain to use the dirty tricks that can be compared with dusting lime powder. In this situation, they can decisively stretch out their hands and put them in each other’s eyes. What. Therefore, the flexibility of the human hands and the integrated effect of the magical functions have not been brought into play. Taking Lao Maozi's old iron armored warriors as an example, back and forth just a Wu Song tiger-style punching the monster's head is really impressive. Anxious, not to mention that it was not like Wu Song grabbed the top of the tiger's skin.
So, if it weren't for the good-looking and elegant fighting skills of the real brand, it would be the fastest way to get into a fight with cross-eyed hair pulling and kicking three inches below the navel.
7. Several of the conversations between the Monster Scientist and Hannibal-Chou in his awesome leather shoes are intriguing. The biologist with black-rimmed glasses and the eccentric mathematician with monsters on their arms are scientists working for the military to conduct basic research for special purposes. From the retro devices that have synesthesia with monsters, it can be seen that their research status is worrying. Ah, there's a sense of being behind closed doors. And seeing Hannibal-Chou is like a bow of scientific research in front of business research. What's even more surprising is that the one-eyed boss with the temperament of the middle school has also studied the matter of synaesthesia, so business research is far ahead. do not have! Applause and pay tribute to Hannibal Zhou, the outstanding and outstanding master of industry, education and research! ! ! !

The above are all sighs that came out on a whim because of a sudden scientific nerd's psychological troubles, so I made random nonsense. Generally speaking, I like this movie about big robots fighting big monsters. I like two eccentric scientists who love and kill each other. I like the master of production, education and research who is full of big golden chain temperament. His father, who is profound, likes the most resolute and decisive general.
Finally, I applaud the little loli who was crying and raining back in the memory of the heroine. She played really well.

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.
