It’s interesting that Godzilla has been accepted as a sort of mascot in Japan. The 2011 earthquake and tsunami which affected Fukushima’s nuclear power plant – lots of scenes of destruction similar to what you see in the films. The metaphor of natural disasters is easy to see. The nuclear attacks are obvious of course – but there were also nuclear tests by the US army after WW2 in waters affecting Japanese fishermen etc. At one time or another Japan has been subject to massive levels of destruction from either natural disasters or nuclear weapons. He kind of represents the consequences of nuclear testing on nature, or the destructive power of nuclear weapons in Japan, or simply the vast destructive power of nature.
He’s created by nuclear tests in the ocean. What does Godzilla mean? What does it tell us about Japanese culture? A lot of that stuff seems a bit vague, probably because I come from a christian culture where morality is written down in the form of rules – very clear lines which we’re always aware of.īefore coming my brother was staying with me and we watched the new Godzilla film – not the Hollywood version directed by Gareth Edwards, but the recent Japanese one directed by Hideaki Anno, Shinji Higuchi. Also, because of the slightly ambiguous religion in Japan it makes you wonder where the moral lines are. I guess that it seems a bit more interesting in Japan because there’s so much emphasis on the cute, childish things. Weird and scary things that people don’t often talk about
