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.

    Emergency alerts often come in a deadlocked silence. The appearance of monsters suspends (or adds to) all possible melodramas. In other words, the collective anxiety of the 1950s aggregates into Godzilla. As far as the first part is concerned, "Brother" is more like the Japanese version of "The Birds". It is hard to imagine that the genre films of that period will use a lot of pen and ink to create a convincing, including the opening of the anthropological observation of the indigenous groups. The trauma of war caused the hidden ancient monsters to return. From the edge to the center (Tokyo), they were internalized as a totem of a community image in "King Kong vs. Godzilla", and the threatening objects became mudstones in the symbolic order. giant. The special photography, whether it is miniature special effects, or the portrayal of characters, comes from the secret origin of Propaganda ("National Policy Movies") in World War II. This leads to the existence of a certain degree of flatness in the characters. With the official appearance of Ra, the film began to fall apart. The sacrifice of Dr. Serizawa is more like a "Kamikaze" rewritten by a pacifist ideology, just as the latter used Bismarck to rewrite Ye Yinwen's book.

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!
