    There is a remake in the United States with beautiful stunts. This is the only place where it can compare the old version to the old version. The story is smooth and restrained. The photography is also very good. It's all the...

    Godzilla is a freak of nuclear war fears and implicit militarism. The original intention of the film was the harm caused by the atomic bomb to the Japanese people and clearly expressed the anti-war advocacy of love for peace, but it can be said that the Japanese were anti-war for the atomic bomb, not a reflection on militarism. At the same time, Godzilla is also an enlargement of the Japanese mentality of loneliness and weakness, and it is also the beginning of the next 30 monster movies. The...

    NY 167. Three and a half stars. The original Japanese version was considered imaginative at the time, but unlike the new pure commercial production in the United States, this film is full of reflection and fear of the nuclear crisis, and it is a serious and lovely film. Of course, it also includes the "special effects" formed purely through editing, which also makes the whole movie look...

    #史歌資訊##Godzilla1954# Tokyo destroyed by Godzilla is like Hiroshima destroyed by an atomic bomb. The movie discusses super weapons very deeply, and whether to use super weapons to fight against another super weapon , the film also shows a very tangled struggle. It can be said that the ideological realm of this film is quite high, and it has carried out a comprehensive reflection on war, atomic bomb, and human...

    Reflections and prophecies after the war, fighting against the legacy of nuclear weapons with biological and chemical weapons, Godzilla was just a prop, without the sense of tragedy that he later carried. Ishiro Honda and Akira Kurosawa are good friends, so when I see Shimura Takao appearing, I feel a little bit of time travel. PS, I remember the first toy when I was a child was the first generation of Godzilla, I miss it so...

    Godzilla is my third favorite little monster~ Second only to the Alien Queen and the Elder Jagged Blood~ Its trans-era significance in film history is that since then, the masterpieces of nature headed by King Kong have faded out of the silver screen, and all the shapes are huge and claws. Basically, they have become a by-product of human civilization~ You really underestimate the power of creation... ah~ As for anti-war and anti-nuclear things, do you still carry the ambition of world peace...

    Japan's older generation of Godzilla really shows the aftermath of the Japanese nuclear nightmare. The special effects don't seem realistic today, but the style is quite...

    Although it is the first appearance, Godzilla is closer to a phenomenon (intertextual with the hydrogen bomb) than as a creature or character, and the real protagonist is Dr. Serizawa. The trembling Tokyo Bay at night, the searchlight hit the huge shadow floating from the water, and soon the whole of Tokyo will be on fire, and the power of special photography is in...

    "Godzilla" represents the nuclear panic and post-war PTSD of Ishiro Honda and the whole of Japan, venting their dissatisfaction with Japanese society under the interference of American politics in escapism: when the nuclear incarnation of Godzilla appeared, "politics" was Overturned, the harvest (people's livelihood) is also low, and people have to recall the memory of the sacrifice of women (tributing to and being swayed as a dependent country). Under the nuclear threat, the war orphans and...

    Two different interpretations of the "nuclear symbol" in "Godzilla"

    In the Japanese movie "Godzilla" released in 1954, the director made full use of a kind of "only hear the sound, not see the person" at the beginning of the film (only the destructive effect of Godzilla is shown, and the monster protagonist is late. Do not show the real body) to mobilize the...

Godzilla quotes

  • [last lines]

    Dr. Kyohei Yamane: I can't believe that Godzilla, was the last of his species. If nuclear testing continues, then someday, somewhere in the world, another Godzilla may appear.

  • Chief of Emergency Headquarters: This is quite a problem, professor. If this keeps up, we'll have to suspend the international shipping routes. Have you found a way? Is there something we can do to defeat it?

    Kyohei Yamane-hakase: So, that's it...

    Chairman of Diet Committee: Professor Yamane, let's be honest. If there's a way to defeat Godzilla, we need to know.

    Kyohei Yamane-hakase: It's impossible! Godzilla absorbed massive amounts of atomic radiation and yet it still survived! What do you think could kill it? Instead, we should focus on why it is still alive. That should be our top priority!
