Godzilla, should be the biggest monster created in film and television, crushed a house with one foot, slammed through a building with one foot, and grabbed a ship with the other. In that era, the image of such a monster was popular all over the world. It should be First.

Godzilla, with his body full of radiation, was naturally due to the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in World War II. After the Japanese were dropped by the atomic bomb, some of them were killed directly, and most of them were tortured to death by the radiation of the atomic bomb. The shadow of the atomic bomb on the hearts of the Japanese casts the image of a monster like Godzilla. It is often said that fear comes from the unknown. Back then, when the atomic bomb was invented, people knew nothing about it. Japanese people who were bombed were even more afraid of it. . The atomic bomb also successfully demonstrated the significance of its own strategic weapons, deterring the Quartet.

Facing such a monster, the first thing to do is to take out weapons against the pit, all kinds of bullets and power grids, which are like tickles to Godzilla, implying that the development of weapons to expand munitions will have no effect on post-war Japan, and people feel shadows. Will not weaken in the slightest, fear, urged post-war Japan's reflection. It is unrealistic to coexist peacefully with Godzilla, just like prehistoric giant animals, it is a catastrophe for mankind. The fear of nuclear radiation crushes man's desire for survival and pushes man to extinction.

Godzilla also has unique martial arts, atomic breathing. It can be seen that the Japanese people are aware of nuclear radiation, and internal reactions also give rise to derivative radiation. All objects will be melted and deteriorated. No one can defeat them. The only solution is self-reliance, facing the fear, and using newly developed ones. The oxygen bomb kills the radiation monsters, and at the same time reflects the Japanese spirit of sacrificing the ego to complete the greater ego.

Although it is a black and white movie, the horror rendering is very good, I doze off very easily during the watching process? I don’t know why~

    It attracted me at the beginning, not because it was the first "Godzilla", but because of the director's name: Ishiro Honda... The moment the plane model was blown over in the camera, I was completely happy, it was too fake

    Monster movie is one of the most easily recognized Japanese movie types. It provides a perfect stage for mobilizing social anxiety, especially the large-scale destruction caused by rapid industrialization, the mutation of biological species, and environmental pollution. Japan is the only country that was hit by an atomic bomb and was subsequently affected by the US military's military exercises in the Pacific. This unique historical factor provided the perfect opportunity for the emergence of Godzilla. In this film, due to nuclear radiation, the mutant monster Godzilla entered Tokyo, causing serious damage and the government could not stop it, but Godzilla was eventually eliminated by scientists. Although the film was influenced by the 1933 American movie "King Kong", it provided a new genre model for Japanese movies. From the beginning of the film, "Godzilla" has become synonymous with Japanese monster movies, and in the following half a century, its sequels and remakes reached more than 30 times, and it was introduced by Hollywood, becoming the longest-lived series of movies in Japan and the world. one.
