Godzilla - The important points

 





Godzilla is a lot more than only a movie or two. Godzilla is an enduring culture legend, as well as the most recognizable Japanese cultural symbol. He first appeared in 1954 inside the Japanese movie of the identical name, and it has starred in several movies, comic books, animated shows, plus more. He even has a hit rock song about him, "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult. - Godzilla 2014 official trailer



His origin stories vary somewhat, however they all include atomic mutation and since the Atomic bombings of World War II remained as fresh within the minds from the Japanese during those times, he could be seen as a metaphor with the perils associated with weapons of mass destruction. Some follow on movie stress the possible risks with pollution too.



Although he soon started being a monster, seemingly unhappy and bent on destruction and positively terrifying, some later roles showed him like a hero, often protecting Tokyo using their company monsters and generally playing the "good guy." In later movies he's gone onto be a villain again, but is portrayed as a lot more intelligent and feeling. He even adopts a son in one movie, named Minilla. Minilla continued to many other movies too.



Godzilla has won several awards including Best Supporting Actor ("Godzilla vs. Mothra), several Japanese Academy Awards, and that he has his own star around the Hollywood Walk of Fame. - Godzilla 2014 official trailer
