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~

    Perhaps the director originally intended to use monsters to express the state of the Japanese after the war. Who would have expected the monsters to be far more exciting than the plot. In the sequels one after another, no one would care how Godzilla came to be~

    Godzilla should be the most meaningful monster? The script is amazing, with a group portrait of a group of scientists, and the reflexivity is very well done. Godzilla's destruction symbolizes the destructive power of nuclear radiation. Further, the film also designed the "oxygen destroyer", which is actually similar to the existence of nuclear weapons. Kotazawa's sacrifice, one is to show the right to deal with lethal inventions, and the other is to achieve "rationality" intelligently. The scene is good, 4.5

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!
