pacific rim – Steel Phoenix Studios

Reblog in 2017.

I’m a dumb idiot who needed Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria to hit in the same month to realize Kaijus in Pacific Rim were a metaphor for climate change and hurricanes and, like, the movie isn’t even subtle about it

(Del Toro is releasing personal character bio docs – including the above – for PacRim and some of his other films on his Twitter. If you’re not following him already, you should be.)

no but people who don’t like pacific rim because it wasn’t logical or scientifically accurate like

yes

we know

we don’t care

it is an homage to that genre. the original godzilla was a dude clearly in a rubber suit stomping cardboard tokyo and we were supposed to just accept that. pacific rim is a movie where a government council sat around like “what are we gonna do about these giant aliens coming from the ocean?”

“let’s build equally giant robots to punch them in the face”

“yes perfect” and like, that was of course the logical response because it’s friggin cool

mako didn’t use the sword because she had to wait until the perfect cinematic moment to do so

this movie is a love letter to painfully dumb action movies, but it is also one of the smartest movies i’ve ever seen. it’s just telling a story in a different way. instead of having audience vehicle main character explain everything to us, the movie shows you a world and asks you to accept its premise, and then lets you discover the story yourself.

this movie glorifies platonic love and familial bonds, this movie is about how we as people are stronger together, that it’s not one lone hero guy who can save the world, but the unity of all of us. it’s about the sheer unmitigated gall of humanity- “fuck this noise, we’re canceling the apocalypse!” it’s about the stupid dumb loud optimism that looks at the world and wants it to better, demands it be better, and does so with fists of steel.

it’s bombast and noise and i love it to bits so shut up and sit down and let me enjoy my giant robots punching giant monsters in the face okay?

this is such a good post…..such a good post….pacific rim stayed truer to the kaiju movie genre than 2014 godzilla did

Sometimes you just gotta know what kind of story you’re telling and Pacific Rim is an out-fucking-standing example of that

John Boyega on the set of Pacific Rim

god help me

Good golly he looks good. Also, I’m betting that five seconds after that last pic he was on his knees calling that dog over to play. 😀 (Oluwalogan would be SO OFFENDED)

WELL NOW.
