#28 - Shin Godzilla (シン・ゴジラ) - Nuclear War, Hideaki Anno, and Japan's Cultural Reaction to the Atomic Bomb

On this episode of Cinedicate, we defend Japan against a Kaiju attack. Diego, Chicago graphic designer, returns to talk about the dark reimagining of a classic monster in Shin Godzilla. From director Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion), reboots the original Godzilla film for a modern audience. Japan must mobilize and act quickly to defend it's land from a creature from the depths of the ocean, Gojira. Or as the American government calls it, Godzilla. What makes Godzilla a spectacular and timely story is the apparent subtext of the kaiju as an allegory for the destruction caused by nuclear weapons.   Connect with Cinedicate On These Social Platforms!
