THREE MEANINGS OF THE RED SHOES IN PACIFIC RIM – & A FOURTH UNSUSPECTED the first & oldest is the dance of the doomed orphan who wished to be a princessin all its versions from the first grim moralizing fairy-tale (x)to the movie made a century later about a ballet about the story (x)to the 1993 music video (x) on the same themewhich ties it to the Crossroads Bargain legend(& the Tempter is as always the Selfthe enemy in the mirror)the second & most obvious is the sign of the witch victrixwhich may or not be derived from the first consciously or subconsciously but which became associated in 2006 the third is something you can only see if you know old Japanese children’s songs at all – but it is not at all unimportant (x) & this is a fixfic or a happy AU of “Akai Kutsu”(which may itself be a legend or true or partly true)yes it matters that he speaks her language& the fourth if you watched the first Japanese kaiju movie not directed by one of the two artists this movie was dedicated to& here is the oracular connection made plain& how the turtle & the turtledove became one & no longer the nemesis of the phoenix& how Atlantis got into the story& why the impetuous boy photographer must also show respect for The Lady he admires& why it is a (p)rebuttal to MAN OF STEEL bc the foolish fanboy who dismissed the Tokyo sequence as a ripoff of GAMERA 3: REVENGE OF IRIS was on to something even if he had no idea whybc the evolution of the modern myths is entangled w the old storiesbut in the G3 reboot trilogy finale we see what wld really happen if an all-powerful planetary guardian takes no care whatsoeverfor the individuals supposedly being protectedin the course of battling the ancient foes of earththe remaining survivors of “friendly smash” may not appreciate the fanboy philosophy of eggs & omelettes & “the few” outweighedG3 is what wld happen in BATMAN VS SUPERMAN if the elder Waynes were killed in the battle with Zod & their child joined forces w Lex Luthor to find other alien superbeings in hiding to take revenge on Kal-el & end himbc the cure = the disease & so the world ends in multiple bangsas the ancient feud between the rival Guardians of the Four Directions leaves the planet open to invasionas the retconned Guardian of the North realizes too latethat individual human lives matter too(there is more of course - lighthouse symbolism & apocalyptic cults &  environmental catastrophe leading to the decline of the fisheries & the archetypal eccentric paleontologist & the boy who thinks the monster will be his friend while the rest of the world puts aside its Cold War rivalries to fight it - but the imagery of the first 1965 GAMERA (x)of the young and dedicated research assistant handing the ancient Inuit prophecy stone that was entrusted to her care back over to her wise & kind & ever-courteous mentor is mirrored here – & so too this& so the circle is made complete on yet another levelas rivals & opponents & nemeses are reconciledall the fixfics ever(but there is more going on too…) -- source link
