Higuchi Shinji and Anno Hideaki have been special souls for decades, knowing that this is the Godzilla that really belongs to Japan. Cut-like precision editing, restrained scenes, masochistic shots. Shiro Herono's music is like the gospel of the coming, which makes people tremble. The special quality of Godzilla is really good, and the Tokyo night battle scene is desperate and profound. (By the way, the CG capture of this version of Godzilla is Nomura Mansai.)
One of the top ten Japanese movies this year.
However, whether it is "nuclear element", "special photo", "government cabinet", "monster", the Japanese label is too heavy. This is a movie that is too Japanese, and may not necessarily be suitable for filmmakers from other countries.
Interestingly, Shinzo Abe ridiculed "Godzilla" at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Film Festival, "My wife strongly recommends that movie in which both the Deputy Chief of Staff and I were killed in action."
