Godzilla (1954)

Kicking off GODZILLA WEEKEND at the BCT with a pre-film introduction by Godzilla Historian and Scholar Beth Bredlau !

The 1954 film Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning almost thirty sequels.

This is the first Godzilla film. Toho Co., Ltd produced, Ishiro Honda directed.
