I have only seen the 2014 US version of the "Godzilla" movie before. At that time, the feeling after watching that movie can only be said to be aggrieved. After Godzilla finally appeared, it ended in a hurry. And watching this movie is completely directed at Anno Hideaki. The way the whole movie is handled can be said to be very Japanese. The origin and characteristics of Godzilla are very clearly described, which is better than the American version.
Both Godzilla and the evil spirits (Sadako, Gaya) have an anti-human illogicality, which produces a sense of oppression that transcends this species. Godzilla just relies on instinct to move forward, completely ignoring ordinary humans, and at the same time Godzilla is unable to communicate and communicate. It is not the kind of alien that hunts and kills humans and aims to rule humans. This alien has some human-like characteristics and can communicate. But Godzilla is like a natural disaster, an unstoppable disaster. You can't feel how powerful his intelligence is, you can't see his selfish desires, but you know very well that he has power beyond common sense and can subvert the whole Japan.
The film's political satire is particularly strong. Those who don't like watching it can skip many parts. It satirizes the incompetence of experts and the government, the discussion of the relationship between the United States and Japan, the changes in the global situation, World War II, etc. Those who like to watch it will probably like it very much. , By the way, the Prime Minister is really not easy to be. The editing of the whole movie is still very fast, the dialogue will contain a lot of information, and the plot is not procrastinated (hey, the sequelae of watching too many domestic dramas), but what I want to say is that the whole movie is really Japanese. It reflects the limited area of the island country and the crowded population distribution (where is Japan's sense of crisis), Godzilla arrived in Tokyo after a day's walk, and if you want to launch an attack, you can't find a large area of unmanned suburbs, only in the urban area go to war. The way to defeat Godzilla is even more useless. You have to knock Godzilla down, and then give him alcohol to drink... Can't you use high-concentration steam bombs?
