So, I just got out of Godzilla -1 and I can't help but wonder how godzilla viewed humanity. In the beginning it was made hinted he didn't actively attack or at least decimate the local village. I genuinely believe that the soldiers could have survived if that hadn't shot at him. After that he seems to go out of his way to attack humanity.
So does he view them as a threat? His equivalent to ants? An annoyance? Something that needs to put in its place? I don't think he's stupid, but I'm not a hundred percent sure he's on the same thinking level as people. I'm curious if he had an actual reason for putting humanity on his shit list.
Also!!! This is me over analyzing this movie! I am probably over thinking, so don't take me to seriously!

Sitting down to watch godzilla minus 1: aw fuck yeah, super awesome giant monster
Godzilla minus 1: Your past burdens aren't yours to bear alone. Leaning on the help of others is what allows you to move forward. You don't have to sacrifice yourself for the future, the future is something we all build together.
Me, quietly sobbing: what t he fuck

I keep coming back to this shot in Godzilla Minus One because it's basically perfect. As a classic Kaiju scale shot, it honestly can't be beat.
From the perspective of those beneath him, the only thing larger than the monster is the shadow of destruction left in his wake.
Normally the scale shot compares humans and their buildings to the monster, but in this one the monster is dwarfed by its own devastation, and I just think that's beautiful on so many levels.

thinking about how, in godzilla minus one, they kill godzilla with the same thing he was created from. thinking about how he crumbles to ash, just like all the cities that were also destroyed by bombs. thinking about how shikishima kept repeating that his war wasn't over until godzilla was dead. thinking about how godzilla isn't just a monster but a manifestation of trauma after war. thinking about how as godzilla's remains sink to the bottom of the ocean, he begins to regenerate. thinking about how we can only begin to heal from trauma by embracing those around us and working through it together. thinking about how trauma can be lived with but never killed. thinking about how godzilla isn't a monster, he's the shared trauma and pain of a country of people who lost so much and were given back so little. thinking about how godzilla will always come back, so long as humans remain the way we are, because godzilla is war and humans are always at war and the only way we can get through it is together. to stop the fighting.
thinking about how godzilla minus one isn't a movie about a giant monster, it's about humans and their pain and trauma and their struggle to keep on living after they've had everything taken from them.
