This new Toho produced Godzilla, "Shin Godzilla", will have a one week release in the US during October. Interesting the Americans are the pseudo-bad guys. If I remember right in "Godzilla v. King Kong" the Americans are prominent in a UN fleet that tries to stop Godzilla. In "Godzilla 2000" it was the Ruskies who dropped a nuke from a satellite to try to stop Godzilla. This movie has the Americans wanting to nuke Tokyo to stop Godzilla.

So the 21st century Godzilla is a patriotic Japanese nationalist?

Peel the fake latex mask off Hitlery, and she’d be a dead ringer for Godzilla.

Are the Japanese taking off and reattaching arms on the wrongs sides just for kicks in this one?

are they dissecting Chinese soldiers alive in this one?

Testing fleas as a weapon?

Putting people in freezing temperatures to see reaction?

Bayoneting Chinese who are buried up to their heads or pregnant women?

Just asking.

The greatest feat of WWII was the japs getting away with making the germans look like the only monsters. There were two.

The REAL WWII Japanese Empire was far scarier than any godzilla movie.

Nowadays a movie “US Destroyed by Alien” ain’t fiction...

I Guess the Japanese film industry is just as crazy as ours. I guarantee you that the public is more concerned about China than us.

If Hillary wins, Japan might have the last laugh after all.

Japan has a bigger monster to contend with, and its not on the U.S. side of the Pacific.

In my opinion Japan, after WW2 was severely ashamed and regretful at how it was duped by the military rulers into prosecuting such a disaster.
Godzilla (at the time of it’s first release as “Gojira” in 1954) was a manifestation of the need to punish themselves from within their own culture, and in doing so redeem their self worth.

The more recent Godzilla movie was filmed so dark that I could barely make out any movement on the TV screen. It was either on HBO or STARZ. I even waited until night and turned off all lights and still couldn’t see much on the TV screen.

I have noticed that more and more with movies and even many TV dramas — they are filmed in the dark for some reason.

Japan doesn’t like us weakening it on the promise to protect it against a rising China.
