The Natural Disasters That Shaped SHIN GODZILLA || A Video Essay

Godzilla has always been a powerful icon for Japan for its allegories about the horrors of nuclear testing and the devastating impacts it can have on the people. Under all the outrageously lengthy and repetitive politics, Hideaki Anno’s Shin Godzilla is an excellent depiction of government bureaucracy and how ineffective it can be in tackling emergency disasters.

Shots were taken from the 2016 film 'Shin Godzilla'. All rights belong to Toho Co., Ltd. I do not own any of the material used in this video, nor has this video been monetised.
