The source of Godzilla:
Godzilla's image stems from the Japanese people's fear of the nuclear threat. The name "Godzilla" comes from the novel of the same name by the famous Japanese novelist Shigeru Kayama. Godzilla is an ancient giant monster that came from the Japanese nuclear war in 1954 and evolved due to the variation of nuclear radiation. After the film was released.
Being sought after by Japanese teenagers, Godzilla was put on the screen 28 times in the next 50 years. This monster not only witnessed the development of on-screen film technology, but also witnessed the development of Japanese films and Japanese society. From the initial metaphor of nuclear war to the final complete monster, Godzilla completed his "historical mission".
