It’s actually fine for Mako to be as quiet and humble as she is, because unlike Chuck she doesn’t want/need to yell in front of cameras to make a statement, she’s fine with just dying quietly for the sake of a better world. As an Asian-American woman I can attest that Asian cultures (Mako is Japanese) really do emphasis cooperation/respect/sacrifice rather than personal glory. And their relationship gives her strength. She, in turn, inspires and is inspired by Raleigh. She’s tied to him and their relationship is what gives her strength. She has a close bond with her foster father, and still respects his decisions (“It’s not obedience, it’s respect”). Mako doesn’t have to be independent from Stacker to be strong. Especially since as a movie, pacific rim promotes cooperation as NECESSARY for survival, and Jaegers are all piloted with two pilots that have romantic/platonic/familial bonds. it’s a VERY Western concept the idea that strength = independence.But he also doesn’t really have anything he’s fighting for? He pretty much gets over his brother’s death and kind of follows Mako around like a puppy and helps her fulfill her revenge arc and when she faints he tells her that “she did all the hard stuff all he has to do is fall” _ He’s the narrator, he talks a fucking lot, Mako’s quieter etc. I agree that on first showing, Raleigh is really front-and-center. yeahhhhh i’ve seen (MANY) movies where a woman is reduced to a man’s partner/love interest and Pacific Rim doesn’t really fit the bill at all.she’s the one with the revenge arc and the “talented passionate rookie proves herself” arc, which is classic hero’s journey. what i would’ve liked would be more of Mako reminiscing about her parents/WHY she’s so hell-bent on revenge. the entire important flashback with her and the red shoe is all 100% her story. Father-son relationships/Mentor-mentee relationships (think Star Wars) have been at the heart of many major sci-fi films, and the fact that Mako has a very close, important relationship with a black adoptive father is SO SO IMPORTANT her relationship with Stacker is really important, but HE dies so that SHE can prove herself and save the world, not the other way around.there’s a difference between having a relationship and being REDUCED to that relationship.wiki-commons:Special:FilePath/Rinko_Kikuchi_Berlin_2015.There’s already a bunch of good meta on this which I can’t, for the life of me find BUT:.wiki-commons:Special:FilePath/Rinko_Kikuchi_Berlin_2015.jpg?width=300.Le test Mako Mori est un ensemble d'exigences conçues pour mesurer le niveau d'égalité entre les genres dans un film ou une émission de télévision.The requirements of the Mako Mori test are that a film or television show has at least one female character and that this character has an independent plot arc and that the character or her arc does not simply exist to support a male character's plot arc. The Mako Mori test is a set of criteria pertaining to the representation of female characters within a film, television show or other work of fiction, inspired by the character Mako Mori from the 2013 film Pacific Rim and its 2018 sequel Pacific Rim Uprising.
