Fantastic Movie
As a caveat, I have not seen any other Godzilla movies. I really enjoyed this movie. It does a great job creating the feel of multiple era's of post-WW2 reconstruction Tokyo (specifically Ginza). Godzilla in this movie is a very horrifying creature capable of real destruction. I was impressed by how the film was able to create such high stakes. The emotional throughline in the movie is a bit camp, but also extremely effective.. I'm excited to re-watch in black and white, and am going to go back and Godzilla and Shin Godzilla now.
In terms of language learning, the main issue I had was that the sound mix sometimes made it difficult to understand what was being said, subtitles would helpful.
