That although they did connect, they both went through very difficult experiences that hurt them, and made their task more difficult, so they needed time to figure out how to face those issues together. So, I reminded him that this was the very first try between two people that barely knew each other to connect their minds. He went “oh no, they’re not compatible”, sounding all dejected when Mako started chasing the R.A.B.I.T.
But you don’t need to be the fastest, the strongest, or the smartest to get involved in something you like or that matters to you, and make a difference. And it doesn’t really matter anyway, because they need to learn to fight together and not each other.Ĭompeting is fun, as long as it motivates you to become even better, learn and continue to grow your skills. So the answer is that Raleigh won that fight, but as for who is the best fighter of them two? We don’t know. He asked me if the fact that Raleigh won the fight against Chuck meant he was the best fighter, and I explained to him that even the best fighters can be too emotional, caught off guard, or distracted to give their best every time in every single fight, and they don’t always win. Just like Raleigh and Mako, you have the right to defend yourself, but that doesn’t always mean you must always become enemies.
So he put a lot of pressure on himself and the success of their mission to save the world, and was scared that Raleigh and Mako’s respective traumas and lack of experience together would put that mission at risk, so he’s initially hostile towards them.īasically, Chuck and Raleigh don’t know each other, they don’t trust each other, and sometimes, when people don’t know you and see you as being a threat to what matters to them, they can become aggressive towards you. He asked me if Chuck and Raleigh were enemies, and I gently explained to him that Chuck was someone who lost his mom very young and was trained as a Ranger ever since. When everyone was cheering the success of the mission and the closing of the Breach, I also made him notice how many other people were there in LOCCENT and in the hangar bay, and gently reminded him that saving the world happened thanks to the concerted efforts of all those people and not only the pilots.

…and a little before the “kwoon trials” with Mako, he asked me if Raleigh was meant to be the “hero of the story”, and it gave me the opportunity to explain to him that the movie was about the world saving the world, and that it didn’t need a single hero to be a good story. Look at all of it and bask.Watched Pacific Rim with my little 9-year-old godson for the first time ever yesterday… But I will find the words because this is a website that you are reading. Becket points his training weapon at Mako. “How about we give her a shot.” Becket points his stick-thing - wait, I mean, no. “It’s not their performance, it’s yours.” Like you’re critical of that performance.” “Every time a match ends you make this little-” note that here Hunnum scrunches his face up, “gesture. “OK what?” Becket says, coming off the end of a session with a possible new partner, “You don’t like him?” Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the scene where Raleigh is training with potential partners for a co-pilot while Mako takes notes next to her surrogate father and Becket’s boss, Marshal Pentecost. Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 sci-fi masterpiece Pacific Rim did more than give us the gift of injecting the phrase "drift compatible" into our everyday lexicon, it gave us a truly perfectly balanced pair of characters in Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) and Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi).
