My dad was an old-school weeb (like in the 70s) so I grew up watching martial arts movies and classic Godzilla. I suddenly have a craving to get back that Godzilla nostalgia. Will this do it for me?

Also, which of the classic movies are worth watching again? I barely remember them since I was like 6 at the time

It was kinda cool when we saw it several months ago, slowpoke. Got a ShinGoji in my last trip to Hong Kong, the SEGA one. Mildly interested on the new anime Godzilla movie coming "soon".

>>81086981

I loved it, it was hot as fuck.

yes it was, perfect action direction/pacing etc

that middle sequence w/ godzilla was sublime

>>81086982
That's the point. Godzilla was always about making political statements.

This one was about Japan taking the reigns of it's own decisions again and being true Japanese

>>81086901
It's satire that uses a giant monster as an allegory for the earthquake/tsunami/fukushima and the japanese government's response

Yep. Godzilla is the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear reactor of the Tohoku and Fukushima diasters. The movie is about the initial poor reaction of the Japanese government and the nation coming together to solve the crisis. It's more like Gojira (1954) and less like the stuff you ironically enjoy.

This is how best boys are born

I was very interested in the Fukushina disaster and I love this movie and largely view it as a parody as was the original Godzilla
When I saw them trotting out his blue uniform (as the Japanese Pm did during Fukushima) I was struck by the fact that the mistakes made by the Japanese government were the exactly the opposite of those made by Bush during Hurricane Katrina.
Any thoughts?

>>81090751
I wonder, is him spraying fire and lazers everywhere a way for him to cool himself down stopping his reactor from melting down like in that godzilla movie from the 90ies? He developed the nuclear fire breath to be able to live on land right? Shooting down planes is just a side effect?

>>81090751

>kill yourself my man
cant handle the truth eh?

This movie is basically the early half of Evangelion, when NERV is very rapidly getting in over their heads, just stabbing the monsters with giant robots isn't working anymore, and they have to improvise solutions on the fly. Even back then, Anno was all about illustrating the paralyzing and potentially dangerous effects of ever-present bureaucracy and internal politics, which is exactly what this movie is about.

This movie is Anno going full, gloves-off Anno, and it's fucking glorious for it.

Godzilla has always been at least a little political in nature, and there isn't anyone more suited to make a Godzilla movie than someone who is both well-versed in giant monster fights, AND carrying a long-standing grudge against Japanese political attitudes and paradigms.

The Japs almost let a massive meltdown happen because they refused to act just like in the movie.
THey refused to vent gases because of danger to civlians (the scene where they refuse to shoot because of people on the train tracks) which leads to a worsening crisis ( Godzilla evolving) a suicide mission to avert disaster ( The SDF attack on godzilla reflects the suicide mission the actual suicide mission the Nuclear company sent workers on to close valves) until a young man in a junior leadership positon takes decisive action ( At Fukushima the onlt thing that prevented a nuclear meltdown dumping mass amounts of radiation into the pacific was the plant manager going against his superiors direct orders and flooding the reactor with water)

It turns out having a socially rigid honor based society has as many drawbacks as advantages.

If you make an executive decision on an issue, and your plan fails, you will forever be known as the guy who fucked everything up because he was a maverick retard who couldn't follow basic instructions. Nobody wants to make the hard choices because nobody wants to be the one who has to suffer the consequences should your choice turn out to be a shitty one.

>>81091747
Actually, I *was* joking, but the more I think about it, the more I think that kind of movie could actually work.

>Zilla-people split off from big G
>Big G still exists, stomping around
>Little guys are smart, bordering on sentience, and just want to be a part of humanity, because that's where all the success in survival lies, clearly
>Whole movie is basically about "Do we let these monsters into our society with the hope of peace but potential for danger, or do we exterminate them and anger the giant unkillable fuck-off engine of death and destruction?"

Basically a straight allegory for the Syrian refugee crisis.

>>81091884

Let them try anime for a change and see how it works then they can go back to do live action or both

A lot of the cgi was sub par but man when it needed to work they got it to fucking work. I was hyped to see that purple death ray scene and it went above and beyond in delivering.

Don't think there will be another Shin Godzilla. This last shot was a metaphor for "the real monster is humanity, godzilla is humanity". But sci-fi makes this metaphor concrete.

>>81091944
I would say it has more drawbacks acrually.
You know the saying Dont shoot the messenger? That bit of wisdom came about because if you punish people who give you bad news you become blinded to reality and myopic. Thats precisely what happened at Fukushima and is the underlying message during the speech to the SDF at the end.
This movie is an excellent uae of satire and subversion.

Again the movie is a metaphor for Fukushima. That remark she makes is in regards to humanity causing destruction through our nature ( inability to react) and a criticism of the Japanese gov for abandoning the idea of the needs of the many outweighing those of the few which is central to Japanese cultural zeitgeist.

>>81092347

I'm not sure how a sequel could even work without it falling into the same monster wrestling groove as the rest of the movies. That doesn't really seem to fit the tone this movie set. At the same time though it is certainly a shame if we don't see Shin Godzilla again since everyone has become pretty attached to it.

Anno turned down Toho's offer to direct Shin since he felt that he couldn't make a movie that could match the 1954 original.

And yeah, Lucky Dragon is pretty interesting. The Firebombing of Tokyo is also important, since Godzilla can be seen as representative of all bombing on Japan, not just the nuclear bombs. In fact, lots of the shots showing Godzilla walking through a burning city probably evokes firebombing more than it does nuclear bombing

I really wish Skull Island wasn't connected to the cinematic universe bullshit with the 2014 fatzilla and we were just getting Kong movies.

I like this movie AND the 2014 movie. Both are fantastic.

Over the years, Godzilla has come to mean two basically different things.
There are people who see Godzilla as a giant, grumpy Superman, and there are people who see Godzilla as a walking allegory for the folly of man.

2014 was an excellent example of the former
2016 was a perfect example of the latter.

Both are great, there's room for both.

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

The only people who see Godzilla as capeshit are middle-aged western autists who grew up with the Showa movies (since the Heisei ones were difficult to find after Biollante) and it's colored their impression of Godzilla as some giant teddybear retard well into middle age. I see these faggots all the time who think it's fucking hilarious to roleplay or whatever the fuck as the monsters because they have it so ingrained into their head that Godzilla should be like Vs Megalon all the time.

Oh I see. Actually you can make a fortune off of gender divide:Feminist conferences and speeches for big bank (Hillary Clinton) Feminist literature( Gloria Steinhim) use it to reach elected office ( Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi) sell merchandise etc.
Or you can even start a mens reaction movement (alt right, mgtow) and charge speaker fees (Milo, Ben Shapiro) reach elected office (Trump) or sell books (Michael Savage)
Richard Spencer is pretty much the white Louis Farrakhan

>The scene where they turn to the French a d get their help reflects the fact a French company told the the US reactor design had flaws and tried to warn them

Do you have some links about this ? (french anon here, I was wondering why this emphasis on the french ambassador)

I cant find anything off hand but the documentary "Fukushima:A radiation story" covers it.
The french repeatedly warned the Japanese but US government support of the American company that sells the reactors quashed their warnings (thus the constant references to the US owning Japan) French involvement after the disaster was extensive.

I agree. For what it set out to do, it did a pretty remarkable job in achieving it. Love it more than the 2014 version which was pretty good as well. But then again...

GMK was hands down the best of the 00's movies.
