It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.

Today's movie was: Godzilla / ゴジラ (1954)

I didn't expect this #film to be as well-written as it was. All I expected was "big mad dinosaur destroys Tokyo", I got that and so much more!

From military worship to the consequences of scientific progress, this movie has it all.

I give it 4/5 Kaiju

Well, well, well, who do we have here? It's none other than Takashi Shimura (志村 喬). You might recognize him from his role as "the woodcutter" in Rashomon (羅生門), or samurai Kambei Shimada in Seven Samurai (七人の侍). He's rapidly becoming one of my favorite actors from the 50s.

Man, I thought people sounded so smart when they said "Godzilla is a metaphor for nuclear warfare", well, no shit Sherlock. They literally state it in the movie. That's like saying that the blue character in Inside Out represents depression. Yeah, we know.
