Gojira(1954) no doubt may be different things to different people, G2K. What is this film to me? It's a science fiction film that sets the standard for all future giant monster movies, IMO, and is a marvelous beginning to what will become one of the most recognized movie monsters on Earth: Godzilla. This film is a great showcase for the talents of men like Tomuyuki Tanaka, Eiji Tsuburaya and Inoshiro Honda. Obviously many people have "read" into this movie it's allegories regarding the atomic bomb and all this weapon's implied ethical(and unethical) meanings. Not me. I make no such inferences from films, simply watching, and absorbing(for lack of better word) these movies as entertainment. Against a back drop of my own life that has been filled with mostly stress, conflict, periodic misery, fatigue and constant disdain for many things(and people) in life, entertainment through movies has been one of the few things in life that makes feel a little good inside. That's how I look at kaiju films, G2K: entertainment. |
