Japanese Scar Literature

"real. "Godzilla" is good-looking, and it is very good-looking in Japanese anime. If you love Japanese culture, you can read the overtones of the movie. Otherwise, in terms of sensory stimulation: the CG showing Godzilla has mixed reviews, the performance of the super-strong cast is not completely excellent, and the deliberate arrangement is also a little too monolithic (especially the political attack and defense part is a war of words), but The oppression of the metropolis in the face of a catastrophe is in place, and it has also repositioned the national treasure-level divine beast "Godzilla", pulling the whole story to the level of a fable, which will really make audiences familiar with Japanese current affairs and culture. Passionate.

A large number of "saliva" political meetings in the film, while ridiculing Japan's elderly politics, the subtle and complex emotions of surrendering to the United States and disdain (so it is said that Anno Hideaki is criticizing the right-wing government from a right-wing position?), on the other hand, it also emphasizes Japan. Various spontaneous behaviors of human beings, trying to find various ways to not completely destroy (nuclear bomb) "Godzilla", and constantly emphasizing "there is still hope for this country" in the dialogue. Is it a balance of the two viewpoints?

Every time "Godzilla" goes wild and releases a beam of radiation, the picture has an indescribable beauty. Obviously, the plot is to explain that Tokyo is almost destroyed. The picture really has a weird animation beauty... Could this be the style of "Evangelion"? ! (Leshin: I haven't seen it...)

[What is "Godzilla"? ]

It is regarded as a disaster of "destruction and rebirth". In the end, it is not to destroy Godzilla, but to let him freeze and then seek coexistence. This is also bizarrely realistic-the giant beast with radiation in its body is not a metaphor for Fukushima. nuclear power plant? Different from other "Fighting Monsters" movies, the so-called "Godzilla" is the ultimate creature evolved by countries abandoning their nuclear wastes on the seabed. Humans' war with "It" is actually a province for the development of high-level cities over the years. Si, you and I are also responsible for this monster becoming a monster!

At the same time, "Godzilla/Godzilla/ゴジラ", also known as "God" (so it was captured by Kyogen Mansai Nomura?), is its real body directly related to Professor Mu Goro? After seeing a lot of interesting discussions on the Internet, I guess that the real body of "Godzilla" is Professor Mu!

At the beginning of the film, the others (body?) disappeared, leaving only the document clues and a pair of shoes. After that, a multi-evolved Godzilla appeared. Is the deity Professor Mu himself? What is the human bone on Godzilla's tail that was finally cooled? Is it a human corpse? Is it the resentment of the dead? This kind of human beings do evil and suffer the consequences. The monster actually absorbs the setting of the spirits of the dead, a bit like Yamada Fuutaro's "Reincarnation of the Demon World". (Well, the professor's self-sacrifice appeared in another face. Personally, I thought of "Ando Robot", which also had the concept and setting assistance of Anno Hideaki... [circle])

When the Japanese government deliberately downplayed the crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, "real. To a certain extent, Godzilla uses a fictional giant to actively face the reality that is happening. It should be regarded as a kind of "scar literature" belonging to the Japanese, right?

    In fact, this film is a bit like the live-action version of Oshii Mamoru's mobile memoir. When watching it, the requirements for the audience are quite high. It requires a certain understanding of Japanese political history and Japanese special photography. I don't care about politics. For people who don't know the ruffian, this film is indeed, as I said above, don't waste your money, just buy more food.

    Personally, I feel that it is far superior to the work of the 2014 Hollywood version of "Godzilla". It is different from the Hollywood version where there are enough shots of Godzilla. The CG of various modern weapons and monsters is also enjoyable, not like the Hollywood version. It feels like people are pretending to be mysterious, but there are some flaws in the CG in some scenes, so I deducted one star and gave it four stars. As a monster movie, the overall quality is very high. (There are too many EVA stalks, even BGM has EVA...)
