Wherever Godzilla goes, a mountain of rubble is left in his wake. We're not dealing with a creature governed by logic. The first time Godzilla fully appears on the screen the audience hears a roar, setting off an indescribable vibration. It's not like the sound of a growling dog; more like a wailing sound, something deeply heartrending. And you get the sense of encountering a force beyond human control – something even akin to a natural disaster or some sort of a divine revelation. It's as if we are being chastised by something. As you know, human society is complex – and it gets more complex all the time, whether it concerns relations between countries or between people. And answers are not easily found. In that context, the vibrations triggered by Godzilla lead people to question their own ways of living – and vibrations, of course, can easily transcend national boundaries. (it) |
