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)!
