Godzilla Minus One: Ginza attack

Godzilla’s biggest assault in Minus One is, naturally, defined by screams. The shrieks of Ginza’s populace as they scatter beneath the footsteps of this titanic monster, the roar of ineffective tank fire in return, and then, of course the dual, howling rages of Godzilla and Koichi alike as they are buffeted by the devastation in the wake of Godzilla’s heat ray leveling the district: one triumphant, one broken by despair and anger. It’s an incredible, horrifying scene, awesome in its display of the potent imagery of Godzilla as the manifestation of our nuclear anxieties.
