I am having a presentation in my class tomorrow about the use of colours in Pacific Rim and its because of the feels from your Chuck and Herc that I will give them the most emotional analysis ever even though to most of the class and the lecturer (actual Aussies) those two are a national shame to be hidden into the deepest darkest hole because apparently Aussies really don't sound like that at all and my lecturer skipped all the scenes with them cuz he and the class can't stand their accents XD
Mwahahahah!! Yes, the accents of doom.
Rob Kazinsky has spoken several times about how he pretty much speaks with an Australian accent all the time (being that he’s British and an Australian accent is basically that with some dialect specialties), but they kept wanting him and Max Martini to make it MORE Australian. *grin* He’s pretty sure he’s not welcome in Australia anymore because of it.
But I don’t care. I love them and will protect them with every last fiber of my being. *hugs them too tight* They are my precious children, and I don’t care if they’re the dregs of Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin on a drunken carouse, I hear them in my head every time I write them.
And use of color in Pacific Rim is an EXCELLENT topic! Guillermo del Toro never does anything without reason, and the color palette for this film was chosen with ultimate care. There’s a reason Raleigh is in warm tones on the Wall and Mako is in blues except for the rare occasion where the red enters the picture. Everything has a purpose and combines to tell the story without words, to hint visually at things your mind will grasp without quite knowing why. *nods*
I could go on forever and ever about del Toro’s genius and preciousness toward every little detail. He’s brilliant. I love him.
