Godzilla and Japan, 70 years ago
Enjoyed. Godzilla as a mirror of historical changes. Not much of a “Godzillite”myself, but this history reading walk is very interesting!
Thanks Igor. A real Godzilla-themed walk is coming soon!
A great read, thank you!
Thanks for reading! Have you watched any Godzilla films?
Thanks for this thorough history lesson!
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.
Love this article! Seems to be the same kind of thing I am trying to do: following EM Forster's advice to writers to "only connect" :)
Thanks Daniel. I definitely see a connection with your excellent newsletter.
Grazie Gianni. Bell'articolo! Have you read Ishiguro's Artist of the Floating World? The release of Godzilla features in the plot.
Grazie Tony! No, I didn't know about that. The Big G and the floating world make for an interesting coupling.
A multifaceted, riveting history lesson. I really enjoyed it, Gianni, grazie mille!
Grazie Portia. Hai mai visto un film di Godzilla?
Sì, solo l'ultimo però, Gozilla Minus One. Quando ero piccola, mi faceva una paura terribile!
