How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A spectacle of competing titans clashing across Japanese cities, grounded by ordinary people caught between corporate exploitation and natural catastrophe. This is monster-destruction cinema where the scale of destruction matters less than the moral questions of who controls it.

i like the running theme of evil bussines men being the real villains of the stories. i think at this point it can get repetitive but what the film adds is an extensive look at the enviromentalism of godzilla in a few ways.

like it or not but of course godzilla plays a part in the enviroment around him(or her) as its a monster created from radiation.
