Shin Godzilla - The Voice Behind the Movie

Childhood memory

As a person born in the early 90s, I watched Japanese anime from childhood to adulthood. When I was a kid, monsters and Superman were always the ones that excited me. Time flies, and today there is no excitement in the past, and some are "adults".

Untouched scenes = real faces

are different from current movies. The Japanese movies (with good plots) in my impression are all showing people their true faces, and will not save the whole scene with a certain blue and white face or a beautiful woman; Do not be ashamed of ordinary life, do not hide the dark side or cowardice of people. The above are the advantages of some Japanese movies, and some Korean movies also pay attention to these elements. I am very disappointed by this, and I also think that Chinese movies should either follow, because it can be sobering; or there are other things that are different from this. selling point.

Real Face 2

is just like in this movie, there are many male characters who are not handsome and not beautiful female characters, they give a realistic feeling that is different from European and American movies: there are no handsome guys and beautiful women. Those who are familiar with the Godzilla series and have watched the Japanese Superman series anime will find many similar faces, such as the Minister of Defense played by Yu Guimei, her face is similar to a character in the Superman series, and she seems to have performed the Godzilla series in the impression. .

In addition to the films of

the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' recruitment films

, it can be said that all monster films are recruiting for the military industry, making excuses for the development of the army, enhancing the people's recognition of the army and increasing patriotism. In this peaceful world, we may feel that the army is of no use to us, but we need it in times of crisis, and we even think of it in times of crisis. We just need these episodes to activate the excitement and excitement that has been dormant for a long time.

This time, the Self-Defense Forces also fully supported the film day, dispatching sea, land and air equipment. It is worth noting the lesser appearance of Army equipment.


A slight reminder ------ the shock of Japan

Japan is an industrial power and was once a sovereign country, unlike the United States now. The Japanese in the film begin to show their dissatisfaction with the United States. But this kind of performance is not obvious, which makes the Japanese people reflect. The original plan in the movie was to put Japan's "disposal" into the minds of many Japanese youngsters, so as to achieve an anti-American effect.

While demonstrating his industrial capabilities (producing more than 500 tons of pharmaceuticals in 14 days), the producer is not complacent and also mentions Chinese crane technology in the film.

The follow-up "Frozen Plan" actually implies that Japan can do without the help of the United States. The producer may use this to enhance the self-confidence of the Japanese.

Reflect on the yearning for the United States

. The Japanese woman's dream as the US special envoy in the movie is to become the president of the United States in ten years, compared to the dream of the male protagonist in Japan (think ten years later. become Prime Minister) is clearly out of the question. Because the United States itself has strong racial discrimination, even if a black person has become the president, it is not something that Asians want to be president of the United States within ten years. In addition, I thought her character would be an anti-Japanese character who loves the United States, but her encounter with the motherland in the movie was suddenly patriotic.

Again in the film it is mentioned that the United States does not regard their citizens as human beings. Given that the political environment is constrained by the United States, I don't know if the brainwashing effect of watching movies in the United States is underestimated or the United States has a lot. That vigorous slap on the pro-American faction must have made the Japanese patriots more than happy and helpless.



Regarding the new Godzilla itself , the

tribute to the old
Godzilla is a bit like the image of Godzilla a long time ago.

Compared with the image of the
American version, the American version of Godzilla is more like a dinosaur, while the Japanese version is more like a monster affected by radiation. The end

of the horror
movie of radiation shows an alien-like object once again reminding the world of the danger of radiation ( Most of the real creatures affected by radiation do not live long, and it is unknown whether there will be creatures that can adapt to radiation in the future.) There is a scene in

the worshipped Godzilla

movie that shows some silly people calling Godzilla a god. It reminds me of many stupid people in reality who worship everything, as if we are still in the age of ignorance and religion.

Prospects for Chinese Monster Movies There are

many monster themes in China. How to act like Godzilla and retell the story like "Your Name" is the key point.

    "Godzilla and the Chamber Drama"

  • Isadore 2022-03-23 09:03:26

    About half of the young and middle-aged actors in Japan are in a group show. The soy sauce and the leading actors are all familiar. Japan's filming of this theme is more friendly than Americans, and the special effects are still fake. Strictly speaking, Godzilla is a monster that coaxes children. It is invulnerable and automatically repaired. It is not an invisible monster, nor is it an infinitely copied Fujiang. As long as it is flesh, instant high-intensity, intensive, and large-fire gunshots and shelling are definitely effective. Must be smashed.
