The aftermath of Godzilla's attack (1954)

Two scenes combined from the original Godzilla 1954. Most people say that Godzilla's meltdown in Godzilla vs Destoroyah or him falling in the volcano in Godzilla 1984 is the saddest scene in the franchise, but I personally believe this is.

The Americans wouldn't let the Japanese make a movie about the atomic bombings, so they made this instead. Ironically, the film wasn't initially popular in Japan, and was heavily panned by their critics. It was only after the American edit with Raymond Burr was released to praise in the USA, that Japanese perception of it began to change.

[@nathanielschwartz425]

Well, actually, this film was always popular with the Japanese audience. When it was first released to Japanese theaters on November 3rd, 1954 the director Ishiro Honda went to the premier with his son Ryuji and when he got there, there was a line of audience waiting to get into theaters to see the movie circled the theater at least 3 times!! And, in fact, even the head of Toto at the time even thanked Honda and his team and congratulated them on a superb job, which almost never happened. And also there were a couple of critics that did praise the film after its initial release, but you are right that most of the critics panned the movie. @@danieldickson8591

[@jakevelasco4072]

Something I noticed about this version of Godzilla was how distinct his atomic breath was. While later versions of his breath flowed in a concentrated and directed flow like a laser, 1954 Godzilla spewed his atomic breath more similarly to a spray. I think this is a really good detail, as while the more laser atomic breath was good for films were Godzilla was fighting other monsters, this spray-like atomic breath affects larger areas, both melting and burning more buildings, vehicles, and people. This emphasizes just how bad Godzilla could flatten an area to the point were it looks like Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

[@danieldickson8591]

I would recommend looking at the end scene of Godzilla 2000. G just turns around in a circle in the middle of the city, spewing a stream of atomic fire that annihilates everything around him like napalm carpet-bombing. It's devastating.

[@NoBody-hl1rs]

"Your mother will be okay.." She says to the child, knowing full well that the mother has passed on. But the child needed to be comforted somehow, words cannot help but one must try. The child has just seen their light and their whole world get crushed and burned before their eyes, their mother forced to die a slow. Honorless, cruel death because of the radioactive power emanating from the body of the Monster of monsters. It's so fucked up. She turns away after handing the child to one of the nurses crying cause she knows she lied, she knows in her maturity. That little girl will never see the woman who bore her ever again... the only thing sadder is "We'll be joining your father in just a moment-!" So hopeless, and sad beyond every measure. Knowing that her and her children will be killed, the only possible comfort a mother could offer was the sentiment that they'd get to see their dad again.

“Emergency hospitals were overflowing with the maimed and the dead, the smell of scorched flesh permeated the air. for many the horror of last night was over. One of the survivors was Emiko Yamani, the daughter of Japan’s most famous paleontologist. For many of the victims there was hope; but for others, there’d be no tomorrow. I don’t how many hours past until a rescue crew found me, I knew it was daylight, I was lucky to be alive. The smell of scorched glass was enough to snap me back to reality. It was still hard for be to believe, that I could be lying here in a hospital alive. When I think of the tens and thousands if others dead and dying in the rooms around me. When I think back, only a few days ago I was En-route to Cairo, with a few days layover in Tokyo.” - Raymon Burr (1956)

[@Gamerafighter76]

There’s something so ominously foreboding about the aftermath as it shows the desolation, ruin and hopelessness everyone felt after the the rampage of the previous night; the mother with her 3 kids and that little girl crying just add to it.

[@GojiBoiEarth1964]

Don’t get me wrong, I love Shin Godzilla, but one thing that keeps it from being as dark as the OG is the aftermath. Here you can actually see civilians suffering and dying from Godzilla attack as even if you did survive his attack, considering Godzilla’s body constantly gives off radiation, you’ll be suffering from severe radiation poisoning as shown in scene with the kids. All of this just adds even further to the nuclear allegory this movie tries to tell. I know Shin was probably more focused on Godzilla’s point of view than the human cast, but I really wish we would of gotten see the after effects of when Shin firing his beams that set Tokyo to flames.

[@SlayerOfTears]

I have to agree. I adore Shin, but I do wish more Godzilla films would buckle down and show just how devastating it would be if Godzilla actually existed. People need to be shown the brutality of city-wide destruction, and families torn apart, including children. I hope Toho's new Godzilla film in November hearkens back to this dark style of film.

[@alexrenner5117]

I agree. To be honest, your comment is the first objective and honest criticism of Shin Godzilla that I have come across. Great movie, but it lacks those details. I wish one day we get a sequel or Director's cut

[@timewarriorsaga]

To be fair, shin focused more on Godzilla and the bureaucracy of Japan during the Fukushima accident. It's why you see different meetings, over and over. It is just a different movies where the original focus on nuclear disaster and horror and aftermath and could say the constant one upmanship with weapons like the oxygen destroyer, shin focused on how inaction by leaders of Japan caused a worse disaster than it could have been. Both different times and based on different themes and messages.

[@connorpusey5912]

Shin Godzilla does focus largely on the human cast, more so than most Godzilla films, it’s just from a different perspective. It focuses more on the government and their response towards Godzilla (natural disaster). Both Godzilla 54 and Shin masterfully portray the vantage points that they are working from, although I do agree shin could have showed more of the affects on the general population.

[@Jurassic_edits54]

@@SlayerOfTears I’m pretty sure they showed the aftermath of Shin Godzillas attack on Kamata and Shinagawa and we even saw some rescue in shinagawa. We also saw some aftermath of Kamakura- Sans (SANS REFERENCE?!???) devastating beam and fire destroy Tokyo.

Even though this movie came out in 1954, and it’s almost the 69th anniversary of it, it still is the best Godzilla movie ever. This movie, It really shows the suffering these people are having after they lose their family. Especially the little girl crying to her dead mother who said that they will both be seeing her father who recently passed away. Except the mother died and the girl didn’t. Not to mention the fact that as each of the films Godzilla film gets released, the suffering is always hidden. I hope Godzilla Minus One does a much similar job just like the original did, with the people suffering, the same aftermath as the original, and so many other things that I hope Minus One will have compared to the original Godzilla film.

If you didn't get the message from this iconic film then something is terribly wrong with you. Bottom line is nuclear warfare is NOT the answer and the fallout from it is total destruction and the long lasting after effects of such devastation.

[@BrutallyHannes]

Nuclear warfare is the answer if the alternative is a two year invasion campaign against a country that weaponized its own civilians. The projected casualty estimates for an invasion of Japan far outweighed the loss of life caused by the bombs. Doesn't mean we should use atomic weaponry frivolously, it just means we should acknowledge the context of a situation before judging an act as unwarranted.

[@eagenthorror]

@@BrutallyHannes Honestly this movie, whether intentionally or unintentionally, recognizes this dilemma. The oxygen destroyer is a metaphor for the atomic bomb. Dr. Serizawa doesn't want to use the bomb, but an even greater threat makes it a necessary evil. This reflects how the atomic bomb, as terrible of a device as it was, was necessary to stop an equally as terrible tragedy from unfolding.

[@BrutallyHannes]

@@eagenthorror I get the context of the nuclear bomb in relation to the film, I'm just pointing out the historical context. People have the knee-jerk reaction to immediately shun the idea of using nuclear weaponry and with the 80 years of hindsight we currently have, I absolutely agree. At the same time, people tend to ignore the circumstances around it's usage during WW2 and not even consider the alternative. It's aggravating that people seem to view the atomic bombings of Japan as an inexcusable or even unwarranted attack on an undeserving smaller nation. My point is that if OP lived in the time leading up to the bombings, they probably wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the option.

A parent and child crouching at the eaves of a burning Matsuzakaya. Director Honda is said to have put the most messages in this scene.

No wonder Dr. SERIZAWA himself insisted that the Oxygen Destroyer must not be used again as it was desdlier than the A-Bomb or H-Bomb ....

I would love to see a colorized version of this movie

I hope that little girl got more acting work cause she was great!

[@number1gojirafan112]

Bro this actually made me shed some tears😢😢😢

[@MM.Menace]

man what did they do to have her cry like that, kill her real mom??

[@PungiFungi]

They probably pinched her hard to make her scream.

[@JacobPaz-o5y]

Shes literally letting her kids they're gonna die

[@meatballsheavy]

Considering how close Godzilla is and from the building they are at, do you genuinely think they will escape? if anyhow did they do, they'd get irradiated anyway.

[@増渕高志]

ゴジラは好きだ。 それでも「もうすぐお父さんのところへ行くのよ」のシーンを見ると、ウルトラマンでも太郎マンでもいいから早く来てくれ！と思ってしまう。 でも、レッドマンが来たら確実に走って逃げると思う。

Damn 2 nukes made an undiscovered semi aquatic theropod into a juiced up monster

[@BMAN-eb4jk]

What happened to the Godzilla that had the most real meaning? We haven’t see. Godzilla symbolize what he was supposed to truly be until 2016 and 2023.

The girl crying was sad

[@DamirBabic-xc5po]

After watching gojira minus zero i hope you watch this...

[@junevue9665]

Compare this to UK aftermath, holy smokes it's like the same

[@茂関]

めっちゃゴジラが憎いと思ったのは初代ゴジラだけ

[@-N.S.G-]

Realmente espero que Godzilla Minus One muestre una escena parecida

[@YourLocalJamesHetfieldFangirl]

Godzilla -1.0 Must Not Show a Similar Scene. if Godzilla -1.0 Ever Shows a Scene Like This, I’ll Hate Godzilla -1.0 as Much as i Hate The 1954 Film!

[@fatkitty5212]

And people felt bad for Godzilla dying..

[@cynthiabelis2702]

I think minus one is trying to get that emotional sorrow from the original 1954 of Godzilla and I don't think another Godzilla is going to be killed but Godzilla is going to show True Carnage and more blood spill and the suspense of time of how they're going to get rid of Godzilla almost like a zombie apocalypse or like the end of the world kind of movie but the true 1954 Godzilla this Godzilla is in its own categorize spot of being the true definition of the aftermath of Japan during World War II and with-1 Godzilla and just two years set after World War II what's going to be interesting of what the hell is going to happen that movie when we get to see how much Carnage and sorrow and sadness were going to see in that film I'll probably show the same thing in this movie the sorrow the devastation the aftermath and probably a third nuclear bomb on Japan soil
