Streaming Gojira Online.
Movie Title: Gojira Gojira is available for streaming or downloading. |
This review is mainly concerned with the original, Japanese version of Gojira (not dubbed). I find that inserting Raymond Burr’s character and removing some of the original to do so takes a great deal away from this movie and what it represents.

Godzilla rises from his long sleep due to the effects of the hydrogen bomb. With each attack, the creature becomes more bold until Tokyo suffers a devasting attack, and only a miracle can save the country from another tragic visit by this risen giant.
The love affair plays a secondary but important part in the film. Emiko has been promised in marriage to a brilliant young scientist but has fallen in love with another man. It is the old world traditions clashing with modernity. Her father is a paleontologist who is probably the only person sharing empathy with Godzilla, feeling that destroying the beast will be depriving science of its one and only chance to study a creature from the prehistoric past.

What is often overlooked (and not really stressed in the American version) is the terrible dilemma the young scientist faces when he is begged to use his oxygen destroyer weapon against Godzilla. Only the viewing of the destruction and sadness make him realize there is only one course to take. I feel he is the most crucial and yet saddest character in the entire movie. He actually loses on a number of counts–his life’s work (he destroys his formula so it could never fall into the wrong hands), his fiancee has decided to wed another, and in true samurai-like tradition, ends his life nobly. The scene of Godzilla’s painful death at the same moment that this brave but troubled researcher ends his own is poignant in the extreme.
This film is not just about humans against an ancient monster awakened from the past. It is about the universal emotions of love, dedication and the dangers to which science can lead us. It is also about sacrifice and triumph over impossible odds.
It is important to remember that the original movie was produced not that many years after the devastation wrought on Japan by the atomic bombs. It does not take much of the imagination to see the same destroyed cities, dying and injured people and the heartache produced by an attack, whether monster or man-made, on such a massive scale. The burning buildings, high levels of radioactivity, the melting metal all conjure up the effects of the atomic bomb, and in many ways this movie is an illustration of what Japan experienced, as well as providing a cathartic effect to a nation that suffered perhaps the greatest horror of this century.
The underlying message here is that, like the oxygen destroyer, atomic weapons are the most destructive device ever invented by man. This movie, besides being a very scary monster film (it gave me nightmares when I was a little girl) is an anti-nuclear weapon vehicle which gets its message across through the characters of a enormous beast, a scientist faced with a moral decision, and a people bent on surviving. Godzilla is more then a movie; it is a social statement against any weapon that has the power to alter our world, and the people in it, forever.
I had the distinct pleasure of meeting the old gentleman who was encased within the Godzilla costume. A very short man playing a huge monster (he was about 5 feet tall), he was nevertheless delighted and surprised that his portrayal of the beast has continued to draw audiences even after all these years. It was an honor to meet him.
My advice is the best way to see this movie is in the original, uncut Japanese version without dubbing. I am not a big fan of dubbing anyway, and feel that since people know the story and what is being said, the language barrier disappears and the emotional impact of the film is felt on a much higher scale.
To me, this is one of the best movies produced and has stood the passing of time. It holds many lessons for those who are open to the warnings and human tragedies, both physical and emotional, that we are forced to face in a world that has advanced to the point of self-annihilation.
First Godzilla movie. Now, right there is enough reason to buy this movie, but there are many more reasons too. Special effects wise, it’s great and a treat to the eye ( especially compared to “Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster” or “Godzilla vs. Megalon” ). Effects include: puppets, suit mation, and stop motion. This is where Godzilla is still an atomic, horrifing creature that kills and not the smiling, kid freindly monster. Just Godzilla, no Minya, no Rodan, and best of all no Jet Jaguar! The american scenes with Raymond Burr kind of dull down the film which is why it only gets 4 stars, but I try to overlook the american scenes and concentrate on Godzilla’s awsome rampages through japanese cities. The footage of death and destruction in that glorious stark black and white are an awe inspiring site!
Filmed in stark black and white, this is the very best movie to start with if you want to see all the Godzilla movies. Watch all the movies in order from this 1956 film to “Godzilla vs. Destroyer” made in 1995. As you progress through the series you will find out that Godzilla turns into a totally diffrent creature and then turns back to a mean creature again.
