      Stop blowing ZILLA

      That lizard is not Godzilla at all! Why does this movie get so many good reviews? It is because Chinese people generally first came into contact with 1998zilla. This movie was boycotted by Godzilla fans all over the world, but we are the only ones to praise it. The original company Dongbao even got angry and changed his name to zilla, because this stupid X lizard is not worthy of "god" (God), and in the final battle of Godzilla in 2004, the original Godzilla sprayed it to death.

      Everything is the fault of human beings

      This is a helpless and sad story. A lizard living in French Polynesia was accidentally irradiated by a nuclear test. After laying a mutated egg, the giant lizard Godzilla hatched. Yet Godzilla, despite his huge appearance, still has the habits of a lizard in the final analysis, searching for food, finding a quiet nest to lay his eggs, and doing whatever it takes for his offspring, just like us humans. However, it came to the wrong place, and it can go anywhere, but it went to New York, the axis...

      Godzilla was defeated by stupid Americans!

      When Godzilla swept the city, I really admired the courage of the American people. A group of moviegoers were either in the airport terminal, or by the sea, or on the road, or on the bridge. They seemed to be looking at the scenery, stupid Be careful to be trampled into paste, let you see again! ! ! And the so-called American GI hero, who was found by a monster in a dark tunnel and even aimed at the monster with the light on his gun. Did your small gun kill it? This American soldier also looked...

      It is typical of Hollywood grafted by Japanese monster films, and Emmerich uses the values ​​of the Western world and metaphors for real problems, but the plot of the film is really not flattering. In terms of visual effects, it was quite brilliant back then, getting rid of the dilemma of Japanese people playing monsters + studio models, and Godzilla finally appeared on the big...

    Background creation

    The film was filmed in Manhattan, New York, in May 1997. The main creators chose to shoot in New York because the urban landscape composed of row upon row of skyscrapers and famous attractions such as Wall Street and Central Park has become the ideal backdrop for the behemoth Godzilla. However, shooting in New York is not easy. The crew has to illuminate many buildings and neighborhoods based on its figure. The New York City government...
