Talk about the political metaphor in it

Watching the film on an Air China flight to Dubai has an absurd sense of conflict. A few highlights:

1. The meeting occupies a large part of the film. Any use of the Self-Defense Forces after Godzilla goes ashore and starts to frantically destroy it will be reported step by step and then the Prime Minister will decide. After using the military force, he also said with emotion that this was the first time the Self-Defense Forces were dispatched after World War II. On the one hand, it satirizes the redundant and inefficient administrative system, on the other hand, it is not difficult for the post-war system, and it is dissatisfied with the difficulty and complexity of Japan's use of the army. A false landing of Godzilla aroused the people's demand for national military power, paving the way for the abolition of peace in the future.

2. Views on America. After the failure of the first attack by the Self-Defense Forces, the US penetrating bomb came on stage, which severely damaged Godzilla, but failed to destroy Godzilla. Godzilla was eventually killed by blood clotting. It implies that the Japan-US security agreement is unreliable, and the ultimate security still needs to rely on Japan itself. Especially in the end, the United States agreed with the United Nations to use the hydrogen bomb, but it did not give enough time to evacuate. The film said, is Japan going to be attacked by nuclear weapons for the third time, expressing that it is also a victim of World War II.

3. In the countdown before the use of the nuclear bomb, not enough coagulants were prepared, and the attack time was delayed by contacting France, but China and Russia did not agree. It is pointed out that China and Russia are enemies of Japan, while countries in continental Europe, France, are friends of Japan.

A Japanese patriotic educational film.

    Before evolution, it was more lizard than the 98 version of the lizard. After evolution, it is more domineering than the red lotus G. CG is very effective, and the leather case will become tears of the times. Lan Xiang, who cannot be beaten by tanks and planes, can get it done in minutes. It doesn't feel very enjoyable that the promised nuclear level neon has not been realized. The ruffian has brought in a lot of private goods. After this wave is finished, go back and shoot EVA, don't delay.

    [#700] An excellent movie beyond imagination, the fear of monsters, the perfect combination of nuclear weapons proposition and political and military issues, the 2-hour duration seems to be prolonged, full of oppression, not to mention that this Godzilla is far from scary. Beyond the American blockbuster version, Atomic Breath is really enjoyable. Only Japan can make such a movie, and it looks very real.
