Thanks for reading, Mark. Have you watched any Godzilla films?

Of course! I have a feeling that most Americans are unaware of the symbolism of Godzilla as it relates to both radiation and the influence of the U.S.

Incredible post, Gianni. It's so well-researched and engaging. I had no idea about the political undercurrents of Godzilla. Who knew? The images support your words beautifully.

Thanks! As you'll see in my next posts, Godzilla has changed over the years according to how Japanese society has evolved.

Enjoyed. Godzilla as a mirror of historical changes. Not much of a “Godzillite”myself, but this history reading walk is very interesting!
