Question

In preparation for this response paper, you should have read the introductory page on Gojira and the linked article that provides more background into the filmmaker Ishiro Honda and his work. As noted, Honda himself had served in the Japanese military and witnessed the decimated ruins of Hiroshima when he returned to Japan after the end of World War II.

How does Gojira comment upon the idea of nuclear weapons? Consider both explicit and implied references -- and include specific references to the film, such as particular scenes or lines of dialogue. Moreover, how does your viewing of the film compare/contrast with your reading of Toge Sankichi's "Poems of the Atomic Bomb"? What seems to be the film's attitudes toward war and science? Also, reflect on any other thoughts or impressions that you have about the film.
