In 1933, the American Raiden Hua Film Company produced and released the monster movie " King Kong ". In addition to the lack of film themes in Japan after the war, Japan's Toho Film Company decided to make a monster movie   . In 1953, after watching the American movie " The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms ", Eiji Tsuburaya had an idea in his mind. He also wanted to design a huge creature beyond human cognition   .
In March 1954, the United States conducted a hydrogen bomb test explosion on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, but the power of the explosion far exceeded the originally set sea area. The Japanese tuna fishing boat "Fifth Fulong Maru" was bombed and 23 crew members were affected. Radiation damage. Following the nuclear explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, the Japanese people's fear of nuclear weapons escalated again. Tsuburaya's team took this as an opportunity to start creating. Producer Tomoyuki Tanaka proposed a scenario where a primitive dinosaur was awakened by a hydrogen bomb test near Bikini Atoll and attacked Tokyo   .

    The first "Godzilla", based on the sci-fi novel of Shi Xiangshan. The sci-fi film "Godzilla" filmed in 1954 was the first shadow left by the nuclear bomb on the Japanese. Godzilla, the giant beast, is a collection of such fears. Anti-nuclear is the original meaning of the film. It should be said that this movie also influenced the Ultraman series that I was obsessed with when I was in elementary school. Japanese disaster films in 1954 can be shot so well.

    Analyzing this work in class, there are rich connotations hidden behind the disaster film. It not only criticizes the US nuclear weapons test (Godzilla was born from nuclear radiation), but also reflects the new nationalism of Japan, and some people think that Godzilla is the incarnation of Japanese soldiers who died in battle (the railway factories that symbolize American culture are all destroyed but the Imperial Palace was never attacked). Maybe the Fukushima nuclear power plant is the second generation of Godzilla that the Japanese created for themselves.

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!
