I always felt that us,
human beings, are the puniest of all of God’s creations, mostly because we are
the least armed, so to speak. You know how even a tiny ant can bite the living
shit out of you? We don’t have horns or stingers or even wings to fly away from
danger, if need be.
Well, yes, He did give us
the sixth sense, but let’s face it, how helpful is it when there is a rabid dog
(forget a lion or a snake or other such scary shit) growling its face off at
you, ready to attack at the slightest movement and your senses are paralyzed
with fear? How useful is the sixth sense then? What are we going to do, talk
the dog into getting a logical perspective of the attack? No, right? Thought
so.
Also, I have very less
respect for our race as well. I have my reasons, the one on the top of the list
being that we are incapable of coexisting peacefully, not with our own kind OR
with other kinds. You know, there are jungles full of animals of a billion
different species that exist without causing destruction to everything
surrounding them and we can’t keep an office pantry clean without assigning
five extra people to do the cleaning at regular one hour intervals and STILL
manage to leave it looking like a pigsty at the end of the day. Which is why I
say, we are pathetic.
But let’s not go there,
crux of the matter being that I don’t think too awesomely of us humans.
What changed my
perception, a tiny bit, but nevertheless, is Pacific Rim.
If we, some day, become
capable of building those Jaegers and get two people to share minds strongly enough
to be able to operate those ginormous, drool-worthy, mindfucking robotdaddies
(I find normal, meaningful adjectives incapable of doing justice to Jaegers)
effectively, I think we really ought to get a pat on the back.
And let’s not forget the background
scores by that godawesome composer.
If you don’t watch Pacific
Rim in the best theatre in town as soon as possible, you really are missing out
on one of the prime examples of cinematic brilliance.
Here's the IMDB link and the Rotten Tomatoes link for those who check obsessively.
Here's the YouTube link to the OST playlist.
Here's a link to PVRCinemas for you to book your ticket.
Here's one more picture in case the other two didn't pique your interest at the very least.
My faith in humanity and
its future has been restored to a small extent. We still have hope.
P.S: Please to note, I
have never recommended a movie on the blog ever before.
P.P.S: Go with friends, I’d
never have to able to scream my lungs out to my heart’s content if it weren’t
for the six other screaming enthusiasts I went with.
P.P.S.S: And the screaming
is not about not being classy, the movie just makes you wanna go
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmymindisblown!
P.P.P.S.S: Yeah, I’m done.
