Talk:Godzilla (1954 film)/@comment-24901012-20140504135913

This is still my all time favourite Godzilla movie. Sure it didn't have the tried and tested formula of Godzilla fighting other monsters that we have come to know and love, which to be fair wasn't against the grain at the time being the first ever film, but I just found the dark tone of the human struggle to be incredibly captivating. This is a masterpiece that I can watch over and over again. I find it fascinating that the Japanese can pull from experiences of dark times from only a decade previous and create a film which was made as a full on horror movie because of the fear of atomic war fallout. The amount of depths that a mere 'monster movie' had is incredible and when my son grows old enough to appreciate Godzilla more than just stomping on King Ghidorah's neck and doing a victory dance (which by the way is nothing bad) I cannot wait to sit him down and watch this with him.
