Godzilla stands up again
2014 Godzilla was revived myth of Hollywood in style and with the latest digital technology. “Godzilla” was an American-Japanese Co-production, but he had in common with the naive looking Japanese Godzilla movies little. “Godzilla” is a catastrophe cinema in its purest form and was in the audience so successfully that now, with “Godzilla II” comes the sequel to the movie.
It is usual that Godzilla destroys entire cities together with their inhabitants. The monsters do. In the now starting sequel to “Godzilla II: King of the Monsters” attacks Godzilla but it seems to be the currently popular super-hero movies. The superhero Genre is beyond in the last time, all the cashier records. The latest “Avengers”Film flushing millions in the box office and powders many Blockbuster records.
The highlight of the last few super hero movies was the fact that several of the Pop and Comic book culture is well-known heroic figures were rushed to the movies to each other and went to war. According to the Motto: A Hero is more than two and three are even better counts.
Effective Blockbuster strategy: a monster movie with lots of monsters
The principle is now also “Godzilla II”. In the current Film, which starts now in the world (starting on March 29. Of may in some European and Asian countries, a day later, among other things, Germany’s turn, and on 31. In may, the Americans allowed into the cinema), meeting with Godzilla, the three-headed King Ghidorah, the giant moth Mothra, the pterodactyl, Rodan, four monster.
In 1954, the first Godzilla movie was a product of the atomic age
The four fight for supremacy in the world, humanity is threatened. Thus, the destruction / messy appear on the screen even bigger, there are always new battles and fights can be staged. Add to that the super hero movies and the new Godzilla-strip elements of different Genres, and integrate: horror film, Science Fiction, disaster film.
Godzilla against King Kong, and Japan against the United States
Connoisseurs of cinema history know, however, All been there before. Just older Godzilla movies had discovered, the success principle is fast: Attractive as a Monster, two monsters are: “Godzilla versus King Kong” was the name of the third movie in the Godzilla series from the years 1962. Even then, the American giant monkey is hit on the Japanese lizard-monster.
Monster movies are always science films with the question: How to stop the Monster?
The logic was simple. A Monster may have a great destructive power, it can place cities and whole landscapes are in ruins. But two? Or even several of them? The imagination of the Creative people in the Film were and are no limits. And genre cinema clashed in the history of the popular Monster-have always been the giants of the canvas.
Film title with Frankenstein and King Kong as an empty promise
And sometimes the titles of the films promised more than they actually showed. In Germany, some of the Godzilla films with misleading titles in the cinema: As King Kong or even Frankenstein in the titles of the distributors came around, but neither of the giant monkey by scientists from the body parts of the composite human Monster played in the following Film a role.
The horrified look belongs to the essence of the monster movie
From the original idea of the very first Godzilla film from 1954 of the x has been solved-te successor for a long time. The Ur-Godzilla was a Symbol for the unexpected consequences of the nuclear arms race, his successor stood for many things: environmental destruction, over-exploitation of the people to nature and animals, climate change, runaway, animal testing, genetic engineering and much more. The Monster took on even more positive. Not always, Godzilla was only the terrifying villain.
“Godzilla II” offers great destruction against a gloomy backdrop
In the new Godzilla movie, of course, the Monster, what it can best for power and what the audience expects well also: it beat, destroy, what is to be destroyed and fear and terror spread among humans. All this has been submerged by direction and production in a gloomy Scenery: Popcorn-movie theater to shudder.
