Not just a simple monster movie, but a deep Godzilla.
After the war, abusive movies emerged in Japan, that is, they often portray the image of the victim in the film. On the one hand, Godzilla represents outsiders and perpetrators, wherever he goes are ruins, symbolizing the atrocities of militarism; on the other hand, Godzilla is a product of nuclear radiation, which is both an accusation against the Hiroshima-Nagasaki atomic bomb. , Is also a complaint against the Fulong Maru hydrogen bomb test incident. Therefore, this film blurs out the image of Dr. Serizawa with a sense of justice. He would rather die than let the oxygen bomb (the incarnation of a nuclear bomb) be used by politics, and finally practiced his creed with his life. . Dr. Serizawa finally killed Godzilla with an oxygen bomb, symbolizing that Japanese militarism was crushed by two atomic bombs. But is it not a kind of violence against violence? So Shimura Joe's words at the end are still thought-provoking, if the hydrogen bomb test continues, "This will not be the last Godzilla."
