When Godzilla has not yet reached maturity, the inaction of the Japanese government has led to the opportunity for Godzilla to develop into a super monster that can ravage Tokyo. The weaknesses of democratic politics are revealed here: Democracy itself is the product of gathering the wishes of the majority, and the majority cannot express their wishes one by one, so they can only settle for the next best thing. They can represent the interests of the majority. However, there are actually quite a few people in terms of numbers. When encountering key issues, the various voices within the democratic government are still constantly fighting each other, resulting in the fact that the nominal chief of the democratic government has no absolute right to speak (subject to the constraints of the system itself). ), it is easy to hesitate and miss the best time to make political decisions. The Prime Minister's first order to stop the attack on Godzilla was to prevent an accidental injury to an old man, which resulted in more casualties later. Although human life cannot be simply measured by quantity, can the wishes of most people be ignored? There is a paradox here. On the one hand, democracy requires us to take into account the interests of the majority of us. What about democracy?
In addition, Godzilla's food comes from nuclear radiation. After the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, the nuclear issue has become the focus of the Japanese public. As a country that has been hit by atomic bombs twice, I believe that even Ukraine and Belarus are not as sensitive to nuclear issues as Japan. At the end of the film, the Japanese government insisted on rejecting the request of the United Nations to hit Tokyo with an atomic bomb. In fact, it reflects the general fear of nuclear weapons among the Japanese people today. Godzilla's nuclear radiation will last for two to three years, and if another nuclear bomb falls How long will such fear last in Tokyo? The Yamato nation is by no means a nation that forgets history, but their approach to problems seems to be different from the Germanic nation.
In the end, the Japanese successfully froze Godzilla with the method of blood coagulation. The method was to inject the catheter into Godzilla's mouth through various filling trucks by ordinary people. This unsuccessful method is a method of mass suicide. Can't help but think of kamikaze, but in a different way, and this way has a better chance of survival. The possibility of this happening must lie in a collectivist society, suppressing personal emotional appeals, obeying rules and "benevolence", and wearing the ideal banner of patriotism, but when the ending of the story is not so good, then this can only be done It's pathetic.
The final outcome is that Godzilla coexists with people. The problem has not been solved, but it has been temporarily covered up. This result is not surprising. How to solve the problems reflected in the film? This film does not give a clear answer, we can only wait for us to slowly explore.
