the best thing about pacific rim is that it’s a film about the power of love in all its forms and how humanity’s ability to work together and communicate with each other is our greatest strength, but it’s also a film about a giant robot beating the shit out of a sea monster with a laser cannon, a boat, knuckledusters made from cargo containers and a chainsaw sword to the sexiest bass lines ever used in cinema
At the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we have chosen not only to believe in ourselves, but in each other.

The world is coming to an end. So where would you rather die? Here? Or in a Jaeger?

okay but like, can we talk about the sparring scene in pacific rim for a second? the way it’s shot so up close to make it so tense and intimate, to show the audience what we can’t physically see when they drift in the jaeger - how mako and raleigh are in fact soulmates who fit perfectly together, predicting each other’s every move and forming strategies in response to it, demonstrating strong drift compatibility before they even drift for the first time? the way it all shows that they have this special, intimate connection, that they know each other and were always destined to find each other and come together despite having only just met days before? and the snarky, playful back-and-forth dialogue that sounds like they’re flirting rather than fighting? guillermo del toro fucking Gets It you guys

pacific rim was really like “our giant monster-killing robots are powered by the tender, intimate, powerful connection of soulmates - romantic, platonic, or familial” and i’ve never recovered from how the sheer brilliance of that concept made me feel
like i’m sorry but these enormous metal robots so vast and powerful that they run on nuclear reactor cores welded into their chests can only be moved and controlled by the power of love??? how does that not drive you utterly insane just thinking about it???

pacific rim is a film that actually exists and we really don’t appreciate that enough
hey. hey. remember when guillermo del toro made a giant robots fighting giant monsters movie and could have just left it at that and still produced a great film but instead went and made the robots be powered by human connection and wrote a story about how it’s our ability to love, trust, communicate and work together that is what can save us and what makes us human and worth saving? i just thought i should remind you in case you’d forgotten and if you don’t understand what i’m talking about watch pacific rim
for all your hard work, thank you
