Today I finally watched Gojira, AKA Godzilla. I was pleasantly surprised to see Takashi Shimura in the film! Liked the music. Liked the eye patch guy. Thought overall that the film is more engaging than most old monster flicks. It's pretty amazing that they made 20+ of these movies. The scene where the guy is reporting his own impending death was pretty bleak. It's really fascinating to see the Japanese post WWII mentality through this film (re: the atomic bomb). It's pretty funny/interesting that Gojira goes down in a cascade of bubbles rather than something more dramatic like a laser beam.
