Godzilla vs. the Giant Scissors: Cutting the Antiwar Heart out of a Classic Brent Staples wrote a very interesting article that caught my attention. It is about Godzilla and how the American cinemas took Godzilla and hid its true meaning. Even pop culture can relay moralistic messages by using tone‚ purpose‚ and subliminal.

As the Americans are seen as the reason for the rise of Godzilla‚ they in turn are seen as the destroyers of Oda and Tokyo. This can be seen as a very direct way of blaming the Americans for the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the subsequent reign of terror and mass censorship that followed.

When I was ten years old I was obsessed with the Godzilla movies. I didn’t know why Godzilla captivated and demanded my attention: Godzilla is a collection of low budget‚ poorly written‚ action thrillers about this massive mutant lizard that goes around fighting other enormous mutant monsters.
