ゴジラ Godzilla (1954) Criterion Blu-ray Review

Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It's also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population's fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning almost thirty sequels. A thrilling, tactile spectacle that continues to be a cult phenomenon, the original, 1954 Japanese version is presented, along with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the 1956 "Americanized" version.

Well, the reason why I shot there is because of the best lighting, if you check my channel where I shot outside of there, it has horrible lighting. No, both cuts of the film are made in fullscreen and is presented in fullscreen for both the DVD and Blu-ray editions of this set.

Thanks man! In my review, I said it includes both Godzilla and Godzilla, King of the Monsters. King of the Monsters is the American cut and Godzilla also known as Gojira is the Japanese cut, so yes, it has both cuts! :)

Thanks Robin Hood! =d In the U.K., they have a DVD set of Godzilla for really cheap, like 4 or 5 pounds, if you have a chance, be sure to check it out!
