The Deeper Meaning behind Godzilla

Hello again, people. I have just read my older Godzilla movie reviews, and I have to say I feel like my view on Godzilla has changed a lot. I say that because ever since I read an article about the deeper meaning of Godzilla and how Godzilla was inspired and Hiroshima and things like that, I feel like I like the original movie a lot more. It's funny how much you change your view on something once you actually really read about it. In my old Godzilla reviews, I used to think the best movies were the ones with the cool fighting. I used to think the original movie wasn't exactly the best because it didn't have that much monster action. But now (and don't get me wrong, I still love the fight scenes), I have changed my opinion, and I consider the original movie the best one. Honestly, there is no movie that can show the terror of the atomic bomb better than the original Godzilla movie. Godzilla is basically a metaphor for the atomic bomb. He is the consequence of the atomic bomb. And Serizawa isn't just "some guy" to me anymore, now that I've also read Godzilla: Awakening. Serizawa is the guy who saw the monster first hand, and experienced Hiroshima (somehow without getting severely injured). And I feel different about the Oxygen Destroyer and Serizawa's inventions. The reason he burned all of his work and went on to die with Godzilla was because he never wanted anyone to make another Oxygen Destroyer (because who knows what problems that would cause). Even the fact that Serizawa died with Godzilla makes it seem very sad. What's usually considered a victory actually seems like one of the saddest moments in Godzilla history in my opinion. I'm thinking it might be the music. Sorry if this was a way more serious post than I usually do, but I just felt like sharing my current views on the original Godzilla movie and the meaning behind it. So on a less somber note, hope you enjoyed and Long Live the King (cue godzilla roar)!

About my Godzilla installations...

So, those are my kid pix installations up there. But before I go on, I must inform you that it is not all fun and games here. Or maybe it is, you decide? You see, my mom turns everything into a learning adventure. You may look at my interest in Godzilla and see just that, a toy Godzilla. My mom however sees Math, Science , Social Studies, you name it, in everything that we do. For instance, when I make Godzilla toys, we measure them, each and everyone. Ryan helps! And, that’s math! I also have a strong interest in exporting my toys and opening my own Godzilla store. So, we work a lot with money and learning about the business of exporting, and that’s also math! Godzilla can be made from many different types of materials ... plastic, vinyl, clay, etc… . And, these materials can be mixed with other chemicals to make the toy more durable. That’s science! And, I like science! So does Ryan! We also looove learning about Tokyo, Japanese yen, and the Japanese language when we play with Godzilla. Here is a google map that we made of Godzilla destroying buildings around Tokyo (see below). I learned a lot about the city this way. That’s Social Studies! So you get the idea. Now Ryan has something to say. "I have Godzilla unleashed." "And, I have an Anguirus toy." "I have a King Ghidorah toy." "AND I have a Gigan toy." Alright alright Ryan that’s enough. "No, no I have something else to say." What is it? "I also have a Mothra toy!" Okay, okay, (covering Ryan's mouth) back to you people, here are some of my drawings of Godzilla. And some that Ryan drew. I just love my little brother:)!
