> High score! What happened? Did i break it?
> You don’t see too many YouTube videos from 2005..
Weird to think that was almost a 10 years ago.
i think this my favorite video of all time. ive been utterly enamored with this video for years – i really believe it captures such a genuine, delightful aspect of humanity and culture from the 2000s, and its so fun to watch!!

i took a few notes from guillermo del toro’s commentary on pacific rim:
- gypsy danger was designed to look like a machine from ww2 and to have the gait of a “gunslinger”
- he talks a lot about how in movies “form is content” and that he designs not for “eye candy, but for eye protein”; narrative is submerged in the audiovisual details and the details are everywhere in pacific rim
- he is constantly juxtaposing massive elements w small details for scale; like a giant battle and a little red shoe, to contribute to the sense of “awe and majesty”
- the movie deals w types “the pilot…the scientist” so the characters had to be textured w minimal gestures; mako and raleigh (two of the main characters) have some of the fewest lines in the film
- ww2 aesthetics; bomb refuge, overalls, working for rations were all incorporated
- not a movie about one hero but a composite of humanity; the world saving the world; a movie about togetherness, connecting, and trust
- Mako is coded blue bc of her origins in the kaiju; blue stains her heart and her hair
- every character has to learn to trust all the others
- all the characters get a Hero Moment
- re: the fighting stick scene; “if this was a 19th century movie they would be dancing the waltz”
- the little red shoe is the absolute heart of the movie
- quiet power is still power; mako as a strong character w quiet determination
- the Russian jaeger team are so hard-core they have no escape pod
- some of the Battle of Hong Kong was done in miniatures and models not just cgi
- “This film is the most controlled joyful exercise in image creation of my life”
- one of guillermo’s fave moments is when newt and hermann drift
- “No one carries the suit like idris elba”
- “No matter how many times you drift with someone you still have to say I love you”
- structured the three fights for raleigh as; losing a partner; gaining a partner; saving a partner (”it won’t happen to [him] again”)
- it was important to guillermo that the humans saved the world, not machines or ballistic power; humanity.

what’s funniest about the pacific rim scientists is like. when newt geiszler says he’s a scientist he means an old-timey 1910s entomologist wearing khaki shorts and a comically oversized pair of binoculars traipsing through the jungle capturing endangered species of butterfly and murmuring “egads!! fascinating…..” and scribbling it in his journal. when hermann gottlieb is being a scientist it’s literally the fucking manhattan project. tortured chainsmoking physicist. pawn of a war. repressed homosexual all his life. gets executed for being a communist. And they have to do each other’s peer review
