Godzilla, King of the Monsters!

Description

"Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" is a 1956 Japanese-American science fiction film, directed by Ishiro Honda and Terry O. Morse. The film was created by re-editing footage from the 1954 Japanese film "Godzilla", which was combined with new footage of American actors, including Raymond Burr, to create a new storyline. In the film, a series of devastating attacks by the giant monster Godzilla leaves the city of Tokyo in ruins, and it's up to a group of scientists and military personnel to find a way to stop the creature before it destroys all of humanity.

The film was initially released in Japan under the title "Kaijū no Ō Godzilla", which means "King of the Monsters Godzilla". However, for the American release, the filmmakers decided to add new footage featuring Raymond Burr as American reporter Steve Martin, who serves as the audience's guide to the story. The new footage was shot to provide a western perspective on the events of the original film, which had been heavily influenced by Japan's post-war anxieties.

"Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" was a box office success and helped to launch the Godzilla franchise in the United States. The film has since become a cult classic, beloved by fans of both the original "Godzilla" and American science fiction films of the 1950s. While the re-editing and new footage have been criticized for diluting the original film's message and tone, "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" remains a significant cultural artifact of the era in which it was made.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

Guillermo del Toro once again tries to horrify as after a spooky Don't Be Afraid of the Dark - now, with his next horrendous creature Mama (2013). The story of Mama starts from scene where two sisters Victoria (Megan Charpentier) and Lilly (Isabelle Nélisse) mysteriously disappear in the nearby forest, after their mother was ferociously killed by their father. Lilly's and Victoria's uncle, Lucas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) tries his best to investigate this strange disappearing and to find little girls, if it's possible. But days has pass, and his rescue expedition hasn't show any results. In desperation he seeks and seeks his nieces again making it almost the main mission of his life. Finally, when he is about to give it up, he encounters a weird cabin in the forest, where two girls are living on their own, safe and in the good health. And there would be nothing extraordinary, if we talked about days of searching. But, almost five years have passed since, Victoria and Lilly were missed… That asks lots of questions. How little girls survived in the forest alone? Were they alone? And who was welcomed in Uncle Lucas's house alongside with the children? It seems like little girls' mother haunted their minds and what was taken as aftermath of the stress now turns to be a paranormal entity, Mama that has infested Lucas' house. The situation becomes really horrifying when Lucas's girlfriend, Annabel (Jessica Chastain) decides to use hidden demonic powers of Mama to resurrect her own children, which died many years ago.
