Well, many people don't know what this movie is about, and they want to watch all kinds of large-scale destruction scenes as a monster movie. The CG effect of this movie is very good. It is in charge of the white group studio. Beast theatrical version is also made by this studio. These two films represent the top level of Japanese film CG, and the budget of these two films is one-tenth or less of the regular American blockbuster. But the destruction scenes in the movie are scattered and few, and there are not many scenes of monsters. Most of the scenes are placed on Godzilla's direct opponent, the government.
Before Godzilla appeared for the first time, we could see how the government handled affairs. Each department reported the current situation one after another, and the corresponding departments dealt with it one by one, from which we could see many problems. First of all, everyone concentrated on thinking that the tunnel accident was caused by the eruption of the submarine hot spring. The reason is that this is the most likely and most common situation, and the tunnel that the male protagonist said has already undergone geological exploration, and the officials believed that this was just a geological survey. of negligence.
Then, there were pictures of unidentified objects in the water on the Internet, but the government officials thought it was not real, and they continued to insist that it was a geological phenomenon. Even if the eruption stopped instantly, they believed that there was nothing to doubt. It means that the giant creatures have the conditions for landing in behavior, while government officials still believe in the conclusions drawn by senior scholars and environmental section directors based on ordinary creatures. Do not understand the actual situation, only believe in conventional views, do not go deep into the grassroots investigation, understand the situation only through various multimedia channels, and then determine the cause and development of the matter only by subjective guessing. The leadership style of relying on paperwork to guide work) and the system that the government has always adopted is even worse below.
With all kinds of subjective and conventional judgments and guesswork being shattered, Godzilla lands. The government started to mess up and down, because the government officials usually do things in a way that government officials think is normal, and various departments have always used methods that they think are normal. Under the current development of this extraordinary situation, the system has lost its effect. When an extraordinary situation occurs, the government can only conduct various meetings and studies according to conventional means. However, due to the extraordinary situation, various departments cannot find a corresponding conventional plan. This is a contradiction.
The movie footage at this time switches back and forth between Godzilla's destruction of the people and the government's meeting to respond, which makes the government's efficiency in responding to extraordinary disasters even more ironic. In the end, things turned out to be extraordinary, the government's autonomous handling did not work, and the Self-Defense Forces could only be requested. Two hours after the monster landed, all kinds of casualties and property were lost, but the government did not adopt any effective response measures at all, and still held meetings and studies in a conventional manner. This is the greatest irony.
From the above, it can be concluded that Godzilla actually represents an extraordinary disaster situation. The big one on the movie poster: fiction vs reality, which means fiction (Godzilla, paranormal disaster) versus reality (bureaucratic government, reality Japan)
This kind of complete failure of the government system has also occurred in reality: in 2011, the Fukushima nuclear power plant was leaked in the 311 earthquake. Due to the extraordinary situation, the Japanese government did not deal with it in a timely manner, resulting in the current Fukushima becoming a barren land of people and property. And human losses are also heavy. There are also shots in the movie that allude to the 311 earthquake and the Fukushima incident:
Godzilla's supernormal state of affairs is finally overcome by the low-level employees at the grassroots who have the ability, ignore the form and various inherent ideas, and obey the observable facts. They are regarded as paranoia and weirdos because of their disregard of the rules and forms and various inherent ideas. and heresy. And it is this kind of person who can overthrow an unsound system.
The above are purely personal inferences, if there are any incorrect places, please correct them.
