Again


Godzilla, 1954-2054

Here we go again. This is plain poster-and-trailer stuff; it gives you enough impact without downloading and viewing the whole movie.
I make an exeption for the Godzilla series.
The first of the 30+ Godzilla movies was done in 1954 by the Japanese TOHO studios. The roots of the theme was in the Atom Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki where this creature was born.
I love these movies, because of their innovative and daring theme, Japan is still coping with the Atom Bomb (no wonder). Like Takashi Miike and many others, Japanese violence and sex movies have roots in the Atom Bomb. Shit, I need a real movie-critic here.

Some trailers from the tube. I'm sure you can find more G-stuff;
- Godzilla Trailer (1954)
- Godzilla vs. Mothra Trailer (1964)
- Godzilla Trailer (1974)
- Godzilla Critc (1984)
- Godzilla Critc (1994)
- Godzilla in Bagdad (2004)

Enjoy
